[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks man!!!

[@j.danaclark2166]

If you ever try a heat treatment like that again, have a soaking wet wool blanket on hand. Sucker would have been out in no time.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Definitely will do that!

[@j.danaclark2166]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 stay safe my friend.

[@gregbrightwell4682]

That looks like vintage Westinghouse micarta... Yes, or contemporary? Either way, I would say the pan of flaming oil smelled better than sanding it!! Excellent job

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

yes I think it’s just natural micarta not vintage but I’m not 100% sure

[@Drew_lininger]

So big and wicked!!🔥🔥🤙

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol thank you! It is a giant!

[@erikcourtney1834]

Pretty sure your cleaver would chop everyone else’s builds in half. That thing is a beast. Wish I hadn’t screwed up on my dark saber/sword or had more time. Nice job 👍🏻

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol thanks man!!

[@tommann1420]

Good lord that's definitely a chunk of w2 you got on your hands there. Great job and good luck with the contest everyone is really stepping up with this challenge and it's been great to see all the makers go out and challenge themselves. That cleaver is big enough to end someone and act as a piece of body armor hahaha lol. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol yes! Thank you for watching!!

[@dadsjunk7245]

Beautiful build brother 🔥🙌

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Really appreciate that!!!!

[@PJTForging]

It looks great mate! Good luck! ...that fire though! 😅🔥

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you!!!!

[@HouseMadeUS]

Well done Matt! Love the pumpkin chop at the end! 🔥🔥🔥

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks a lot man!

[@jeffjefferson2676]

This does look like a good chopper. Pretty good cleaver. With oil fires, you want to cover it up with a leather apron or something of the sort. You want to deprave the fuel of oxygen. The heat treat looks like it has done its work. This is probably the best chopper of the competition. This will suit an executioner well. :P No really for something like cattle this works well and ethically. That is how the butchers used to do it. The history of cleavers ^^. This might just be the best one. Greetings, Jeff

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Really appreciate that!!!

[@NagelHausForge]

Love it! Glad your shop didn't burn down! LOL. Hey! What kind of laser do you use to mark your logo and stuff? I've been curious about finding one!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I have a 30 watt fiber laser. Very fun tool!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

The Aporkalypse Splitter. 👍 😃

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Totally!

[@Vormulac1]

Dude, you need a fire blanket in the shop! :) So sweet to see your little guy getting in on the action at the end :)

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I totally agree!!

[@byronkennedy7912]

First, thanks for the share of your build of the Cursed Cleaver ... you earned another subscriber to your channel. I really enjoyed your direction for the challenge ... make something you would almost surely never make for yourself or a client. The blade is wonderful (although I think it needs a sister scythe sometime in the future for the shop wall). Kudos for showing the "what can happen" footage ... there are risks in this trade !

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you for watching!!

[@DannyRiskit]

dang that's wild!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you!

[@DBCraftWorld]

Definitely this was one of the most spectacular quench I've ever seen 😂! Glad you are ok and your shop is still in one piece Matt! I belive you can call it Monster cleaver or "cleaver for the Giant" so I think it Fantasy parameter is "checked" for sure! Nice work Man! The pumpkin couldn't survive it :P

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol well thank you!!!

[@bulvi84]

Hey mate, brilliant build and the handle shape is on point, i really love the little curve on the timber towards the blade. Hey what's the dimms on this? looks about 800mm / 32 inches long.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you! This is 36 inches long

[@dreww9053]

Love all the content on your channel and have to know what was the first song on your vid?!?! Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!

[@dreww9053]

I’m sorry…. Post fire in your shop

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Good question I’ll check

[@mikekooz475]

Large

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Totally

[@TheScrawnyLumberjack]

Can we please get a cheezy kitchen knife infomercial. At least cut a few tomatoes with it.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol I need to do that!

[@redwolfknives3174]

Can I borrow that when the zombies come? Love it! Epic stuff!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I’ll share it with you lol

[@SmittyTutDesigns]

Man I have a thing for cleavers, and I thought the ones I make were big haha... but dude this is EPIC!!! Awesome Job!! :D

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks a lot man!

I would like to see it against a hog carcasse,given its title.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Me too!

[@twocrowsblades3544]

How exactly did u do the temper cycles on something that big? Very large oven or kiln ?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Great job as always 👍 just wanted to let you know I didn't cancel you on Patreon my credit card expired and for some reason I can't get it to accept my new one. I'm probably going to cancel my Patreon and reopen a new one

O lol ok no problem!

[@4sakend1]

Like something out of Bloodborne this is.

[@willardjames2685]

This may be too personal, but if your willing to answer, are you a Christian?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Interesting question. Why do U ask

[@willardjames2685]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 Because I am a Christian, and I care about you, and I can tell you, everything in Christianity makes 100% sense, and it all lines up to a T. And when I go to bed, and think about all I did that day, I have an inner peace about everything, I never worry about death or pain, they are passing things, and I was just curious if you, Mr. Gentry, knows what happens to you when you die. That's all, Thanks.
