Making a Take-Apart Puukko Knife With Hamon

[@cassanoa]

i like - love the way you locked the blade into the handle - a elegant solution

[@wayneshipp9128]

Absolute brilliance, that is how blades meant to used should be made. Old school and properly finished, like a good riding horse.

[@MrB82901]

The sound of the rain says it's time for a nap. Thank you

[@theimperialbeachbum1304]

YES!!! Forge to shape, reduce stock removal and let the hammer do the work. Made me real happy to hear this and see it.

[@dantesmith4833]

Yes sir, that s a real handmade knife, no fancy machines, that s what l call a Craftsman or a blacksmith

[@michaelhutchinsknives5502]

I wanted a chef knife that works as a multi-tool in the kitchen because looking after the collection of knives is a difficult task for me. I like that it is very sharp, cuts vegetables, great chopping. and cuts meat with a breeze. Happy to purchase it from Almazan Knives.

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Wonderful craftsmanship & artistry, all with hand tools. You obviously love the craft & put your heart into a piece like this. Thank you for showing us all the time effort, & techniques that went into this.

[@angelus_solus]

I can't even begin to express how amazed I am with such brilliance.

[@moose1392]

Two pieces of fine art. The knife and the film. Loved the rains.

[@tornagawn]

I love the hammered finish on the bolsters, lots of other neat ideas too.

[@JamesParus]

the end cap is very nice. I've seen how they take apart samurai katanas and been thinking there could be a suitable structure for knifes too. Great job.

[@jerrieyum]

That is an absolutely beautiful take down knife. I love it! 👍🏾👍🏾💃🏾

[@jtsimmons3133]

Pretty neat. When I use old files to make knives, I make sure to grind off all of the teeth. Failure to do so results in little cold shuts forged into the blade. That what those diagonal lines are, on one side of an otherwise beautiful blade. Those are stress risers which can cause the blade to snap, usually at the worst possible time. I would not carry this knife into any situation where I would have to depend on it for my survival. A beautiful knife, a great sheath. It would make an awesome camp knife.

[@andersnrregren9087]

No pants blacksmithing is new for me but i loved the video. I will try to make one with two deferent handles

[@evkalipt-oj1ik]

A person with good hand skills is happy 👍👍👍👍

[@ionmanoiu2241]

Două lucruri mi-au plăcut foarte mult : Sunetul ploii și tehnica de lucru !

[@cactuswren9771]

Coming to you from the Mojave Desert, the knife was beautiful, but the rain was delicious!! :)) Thank you for showing us such beauty.

[@marin4311]

Very beautiful piece of craft made from scratch with simple tools.

[@rogeriosartori555]

It is a puukko. A beautiful, revised, and HUGE puukko knife.

[@DawahTrucker2024]

Nicely done, nice finish, the hamon stands up in the light, well done even if you did not have any power tools.

[@maxmcswain1]

Really great content! Been enjoying watching your projects grow with your talent. Keep it up!

[@markforrestsm]

Loved the project! Serious skills. Really like the "simplicity and elegance" of the design..

[@garyharmon1155]

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.

[@smackrock99]

Beautiful work. Love the fine details.

[@markspc1]

Job well done. Beautiful knife !

[@darrengriffiths2372]

Hi sir wow thats amazing job that you👍👌have made there i like the ida of the back pin thats nice touch over all i lv it my friend 100%hard work ther you carry on like that my friend you will go far sir👏👏👏frome england🌟👏👏👏👏👍👌

[@DepthWave]

I wouldn't call that a puuko, but it sure is a nice knife with a really cool design. I wonder... how much it would cost to make a similar knife?

[@RougemontForge]

I have an Etsy shop where you can place a custom order: www.etsy.com/shop/RougemontForge

[@andrewpatton2482]

The lighting, the camera angles, and the background ambiance with the storm and rain make me feel like I am watching a scary movie. I felt myself getting tense as I watched haha. And this is in no way a criticism, it was like watching a different genera of knife making. Like a monster or killer was about to pop up at some point in the build. All in all, awesome video and awesome knife!

[@RougemontForge]

I'm still trying to figure out why this is my most popular video, and this may be one of the reasons. Thanks for the feedback!

[@violet_3387]

that hammer just mushes the stuff god i love it

[@zoranpetric9282]

E to je pravi nož!!!svaka čast.

[@chrislewellen4016]

Beautiful knife, true craftsman

[@JacobvsRex]

Too dang cool man. Some of your projects are really inspiring me over here....

*NICE CROSS TECNOLOGY BETUING A JAPANESE SWORD AND A FINNISH KNIFE GREAT WORKMANSHIP BEAUTYFUL*

[@tobarrel1438]

Beautiful work, great video! It's the first time I see that kind of knife

[@wandersonsantos5558WS]

good work...I loved project...

[@gianandri1989]

this is a really wonderful knife, congrats

[@PierreJeanLevy]

Indeed beautiful

[@rickeybullington68]

That looks like a lot of hard work .but I know it will look great .hard work pays off.

[@georgeskandalaros8661]

Substantially good work, without useless fancy glamour. If I'm obliged to find some drawbacks? well, I wouldn't use diamond whetstones. But still ... a knife to be proud of.

[@pedrsverge]

silence please a magician at work

[@craigallen5963]

Super nice knife! Do you build knives other people suggest? If so, a "Chute Knife" and a Knife with a Wharncliff Blade. Also, do you take orders yet? I cannot find a internet page for you. Thanks for your video(s).

[@scottishmale1970]

very nice and great style and well made

[@ibrahimi.2109]

You are restricted because of workshop equipments but you and your work is excellent. Congratulations

[@sofknsad]

A puukko too big is a leuku, camping tool of the Saami.

[@RougemontForge]

Even though it just exceeds the 1:1 handle-to-blade ratio, I feel that it is too light and thin to be considered a forward-heavy chopping blade like a leuku. I only called this one a puukko because the way it performs and how it is balanced. The blade is more tanto-shaped, but I was aiming for a puukko look. I could call it a "tanto-style bladed scandi ground puukko/leuku take-apart knife," but that is really a mouthful. Personally, I don't really get too caught up with classifying blades because the inspiration for my knives come from so many sources, making it impossible to classify it as a pure form of a traditional knife.

[@lukeearthwalker7970]

It is not the size, usualy puukko is handel and blade ratio, but its more like blade shape and angle.

[@jrozanec1]

you demonstrate great skills -great job!

[@wayned5872]

Nice knife, idea for ya...bluing the bolster & pommel fittings

[@FargoFX]

Beautiful work. Very well done. Also oddly calming. New Sub. 👍

[@lucioelias7840]

Rapaz!! essa garra que você fez,segura mesmo! parabéns!!! beleza beautiful!!

[@2manysigns]

puuko means knife . it is a large puuko . very impressive knife .

[@Aleksey63.]

Вы , наверное, живёте в Канаде, или в США. Пукко таким небывает, по размеру - это леуко, а по наклону рукояти - американский, либо канадский нож.

[@scotgordon2138]

Very Impressive! I don't have the patience you do... no power tools?... KUDOS to you!

[@timi506]

Full hand work.....nice...

[@vasilecostin9182]

nice work.simple and real forging.got yourself a sub..

[@RodrigoFreitasRF]

Beautiful work.

[@romandybala]

Great work for beautiful result. But the sneaky cuts you get from the blade just forward of the hilt are the worst.

[@jackshields606]

Enjoyed that.

[@oliviermercier3867]

Bravo for this work

[@joewalsh1054]

What is the point of putting water on the anvil? Never seen anybody else do that

[@terryoneill9163]

awesome knife love these knives ,

[@multidimensionalexploratio3985]

Hey pretty impressive! Beautiful work!

[@ederrodrigues5411]

Fantástica!!!

[@brettjones7471]

The "blade tongs" you were using. Did u make or buy them? I really would like to get a pair. Beautiful knife also!! 🍀⚒🍀

[@RougemontForge]

I made them, here is a video of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpC4Z2ubm9WFo6c

[@nickcrandall6512]

I was wondering what type of file you were using on the wood there? I've never seen anything like it! It looks like it work's awesome! Do you know the name of the type of file it is? I hope you respond cause I'm very interested and I've looked it up and can't find it anywhere!

[@RougemontForge]

It is called a saw rasp. Shinto makes them.

[@redazi1]

Tosi hieno , well done SIR

[@raitrandma9210]

Good man, but can you see the realy PUUKO?

[@terryoneill9163]

A long time fav. Somehow yt unsubscribed you

[@kenmichener8439]

Amazing love your content sir you're a master at a very young age drive-on brother

[@reporterolc4994]

I was gonna say that this is not a pukko but than i saw how many people alrededy comented it xd

[@ardysmith9987]

Do we forge to finish bevels ,message received. An by the way nice pig-sticker.

[@SaitoGray]

What is the tool you use to shape the handle at 15:30 ? That seems to be pretty useful and quicker than a rasp.

[@RougemontForge]

It is a saw rasp. I got it from Amazon, mine is made by a brand called "Shinto"

[@SaitoGray]

Thank you !

[@matthewsachs1359]

Great idea. But can someone explain the water on the anvil? Please and thank you

[@damionlowther78]

Helps blast off scale.

[@AhmadJumul]

Some opinion for heat rentetion..so that you can forge more longer

[@2209beata]

👏👏👏 impressive

[@nicolasbarrros]

Excelente trabajo!!

[@grahamparr4710]

If the wooden handle shrinks won't that loosen the blade?

[@rodrigessanches96]

Good work

[@jogge66]

Beautiful work. Do you sell this, is it possible to order one?

[@RougemontForge]

It is possible to order knives through Etsy, that's the easiest way. www.etsy.com/shop/RougemontForge?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

[@danandreinicoara1872]

Thanks,for your art ,yusefull time,a really gift for my eye,all the best for New Year ,with respect Dan from Ro.

[@max_fjellstorm]

Is the knife for sale sir??

[@nelsonchajon8840]

*YOU GET A SUBSCRIBER AND THANKS FOR SHARING*

[@opreanandrei3146]

i see you use a japoneze forging style but what is the porpose for using wet Hammer?

[@RougemontForge]

The pressure from the hot steel squeezing the water creates a steam explosion that blows the scale off of the steel.

[@tomasoscalzo1999]

It also looks really cool on camera

[@BushCampingTools]

Fantastic work! I subbed!

[@hanikaram3351]

Great and thank you , wish i could do the same , all the best and take care

[@michaeldennis1021]

[@cyruswoolard3737]

Steam helps remove scale

[@michaeldennis1021]

@@cyruswoolard3737 thank you Great video

[@NKG416]

enjoying this video with mug of oatmeal,very relaxing

[@RougemontForge]

Thanks! The rain on a tin roof is so relaxing

[@saxonforge]

Why do you pour water on your anvil?

[@AhmadJumul]

Help blast off the scale..and for heat retention..help you forge longer

[@belgacem77]

great work. 👍👍

[@Евгений1273]

Молодец! Отличный нож. 👍

[@raelllearr8094]

Beautiful

[@romandybala]

Whats with the water on the anvil??

[@ApoMaTu3aTop]

Evaporating water creates insulating layer of steam. This helps with heat retention, giving the blacksmith more forging time with each heat cycle.
