Very nice start to finish tutorial. I am sure you will inspire many folks to make a knife of their own.

Thank you for actually forging and not making another stock removal vid.

1084 steel. I'm a 5 year Hobbiest Blacksmith and I don't believe my skill is equal to Smiths that does this craft daily so I'm calling myself a Hobbyist that said. I've did some 1095 that I was amazed when my buddy reported he skinned and processed 3 deer for the freezer with only my boneing knife and never sharpened any.. I now have 01 for carving tools that seem very recommended for carving tools because of durability as some as chisel and gouges. Your voice is very formative and I'll subscribe as I'm in this viewing for the learning.. Just built myself 2 forges larger and a small one burner that I'm hopeful I'll love for carving tools and 90 percent of what I like to work with. Adding a thermocouple 8:16 and a heat scanner and now Parks 50 oil so I'm definitely trying to improve my work. I don't think most hunters realize how good a sharp knife can actually be. My Buddy said he built a knife and it was use to skin and field dressing 5 elks and was still like new that's unbelievable compared to what most hunters experience.My Buck skinning knife could seldom just get one deer skin without sharpening. Lots of details and teaching us about details. Agreed handle should be made for fit and functional. If I know who's it's going to be used I try to match hand gloves size to guide my handles builds. I hate cutting with dull knives and I love high carbon knives and don't mind the not tossing into my dishwasher. Really great video hopefully you also work with other steel.My knives might be very much like your paper cutting and yours does great! Thanks great video

Now that's a good lookin chef's knife. Asbolutely no flair, just straight forward, minimalist genius. Awesome work, I subscribed.

The only thing I would suggest would be for a bit less of a sweep up at the tip of the knife. I mainly make Japanese inspired knives, and the flatter edge profile is a bit more ergonomic in use. With that large sweep up you'd almost, have your elbow up at shoulder height just to use the tip of the knife. But everything else in the video is super informative and well documented

Yeah the profile was definitely an experiement! I love how it looked, but agree it might not see much use. Glad you enjoyed the video!

with the same steel....... You could cut the shape with a cut-off wheel . Then with much less time and materials heat treat the cutting edge . I make 2 knives a week and have made perhaps 80 beautiful knives. without high heat ( also built the shop I work in and ran the power underground at 218'. )

You could also have a water jet company send you 100 blanks, a heat treat company HT those blanks, a cnc company cut the handles out, and then essentially assemble some production knives. There’s a lot of ways to do this, but forging is fun and that’s why I do it :).

Hi Matt, I am curious why the front is more like a tanto? Wouldn't that make it harder to use for rockchopping? Would still do good on chopping and push cutting. Otherwise, good looking knife! 👍 Thanks for the video! Sincerely, JS

I typically make chef knives that are somewhat, well, vanilla blade profiles haha. They work fantastic, but I get bored with them sometimes and just felt like mixing it up with this one. I personally did not notice any issues during use, but I don't know how much use the tip would get. Probably would be great for butchering big steaks.
