I’m so glad I’m not the only one that has difficulties like this. My hat is off to you sir. Now I can go on feeling like “I’m not alone”. You are truly a craftsmen! When I watch these videos and they NEVER show any problems, I stop watching. It is a magnificent knife sir!

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you greatly Stan! I'm full of mistakes, but I'm happy with how this one turned out. If you want to see some adversity check out my most recent video on the twist damascus bowie I made... LOL

[@Vega0bscura]

Neat to see how detailed you went with everything, definitely surprised me. Well done

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you sir!

I've never seen a knife maker so dedicated to cleanliness. Not sure how to feel, but I definitely respect a clean workspace. After all, a clean workspace is a happy workspace. Love the craftsmanship!

[@johnrizzato9192]

You are amongst the top, if not the top precision craftsman! I love the production and editing, and what impressed me the most on this video was the shot, showing how you push the bevel into the belt grinder so that it gives everybody a perfect knowledge of your technique

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you John! Glad you enjoyed it!

The level of precision (which I absolutely appreciate) you’re going for has me wondering which component on the space shuttle is this knife a part of? Great work! Details matter!

[@RedBeardOps]

LOL, thanks Jason! Would be cool to have a knife go to space! lol

Amazing work!!! I am wondering, what is the best way to temper multiple blades at once in the oven?

Hey Chase, there is no issue stacking them all in there to temper at the same time.

What vise are you using on your milling machine? I have the same setup and the one that came with it was garbage. Thanks!

[@RedBeardOps]

Been using this one... it's a good value. I'm sure there are better, but it's all I know - amzn.to/4dmN559

[@Bradvision]

Do you use the same guard patterns for each build or do you have multiple that you create for each knife build?

[@RedBeardOps]

So far they've all been custom/different, however, it's nice to have some old ones for reference.

I’m not gonna say that this knife was a waste of time, because it wasn’t, but why a takedown? I know they can be quite strong and they’ll do a lot, but if I’m getting a hidden tang knife, I want the handle penned on at least

[@libertyforever836]

You have made yourself a beautiful fighting knife. But bear in mind That all things have distinctions of their own. Just as a person would never call compact car a limousine, any knife blade under 9 inches cannot actually be called a Bowie. Just as the blade of an Arkansas toothpick cannot be 4 inches long, a Bowie blade has to be a minimum of 9”. All true fighting knife blades are 6”-8-1/2” long. You did however, make a beautiful combat fighting knife.

Thanks!
