[@indianatone218]

Looks really good thanks for showing, remember to take your watch off when grinding or cutting them dam sparks just pagger up the glass on them, or just wear a watch thats just for working in.

Looks pretty sweet.

[@waikikirod]

Cool.... Thanks 4 sharing

[@garymagliocca2913]

Great job!

[@bigbasil1908]

That looks like a nice knife. The cross guard and the handle seemed very loose fitting before gluing together but I'm guessing it's all nice and solid now. When Iv'e watched smiths make the cross guard for a sword they always seem to make it really tight fitting. If the knife is all solid with no movement then great. I would be proud to have made a knife like that one.

Great job mate !

[@FargoFX]

Great video! New sub. Now I'm off to Watch some of your other vids. Great channel. 👍

[@arfurfoxhaike]

Brilliant !

[@wjackstl]

what type of wood did you use for the stock (handle / grip) I've got some off cuts of cedar, any thoughts on using it for a handle?

[@tntchitwood]

Very nice job man

[@realmetis8002]

how is the edge holding up on this steel

[@Pinckney12]

I had heard that lawnmower blades were low in carbon and somewhat soft. Did this one harden?

[@iansforge]

yes. i always like to do some hardening tests on a little bit of the material.

[@HKnives]

nice knife ! good grinding stuff like guards is such a pain, right :)

[@HKnives]

ian's forge I meant that it heats up so fast when grinding

[@sidschukowv6677]

Hello, a beautiful peace of art! Can someone please tell me what kind of wood was used?

[@sidschukowv6677]

@@iansforge thank you allot for your reply. Appreciate it allot 👍👍👍

[@NKG416]

heyy you got that steel right!

[@lune1408]

What tool did you use at 6:06?

[@iansforge]

thats a file or the yellow diamond file used in the draw file method

[@redmoose7227]

hey man , you should really use that forge instead of your blowtorch to do those heat treatments , it will heat the blade to a higher temperature , and it will heat it more evenly , u want this steel to be an orangy yellow before u dip it into your oil or water for heat treatment (sorry for the repetions) ;p

[@iansforge]

thank you for the comment. using the blow torch was a phase i went through lol. I'm using the forge again.

[@peteryoung8246]

dont grind brass on bench grinder, clogs it up

[@Pinckney12]

Dressing tool cleans it up

[@awancutlery1959]

how i can make san mai pattern knife?

[@sentientzerosx7620]

'basic tools'.... -has a production shop, great craftsmanship but basic tools means they all fit in your tool pouch

[@Ddcfus4gs]

Quenching makes it brittle
