I see many JS/MS level techniques in this build! You’re definitely ready for that JS test. Great job!

Thank you greatly sir! One of these days for sure!

[@SilentPartner79]

Beautiful build. I bought one of those sanding sticks the moment I saw it in the video!!!

I applaud your skill and the ease with which you applied a safety dulling I still need to learn that lesson.

Cheers sir! Glad you liked it!

[@spooneythebadger]

Wow. Just wow. Epic build.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you greatly! Cheers!

[@jodydixon1382]

Enjoyed your videos and informative approach to your videos. I have learned multiple things from your videos over the years. I also appreciate your ending of pros and cons and your humility. One thing that I think would be great to know about these competition builds is the approximate cost in materials, abrasives and time? Seems to be a perspective that isn't often discussed for some reason.

[@RedBeardOps]

That's a really good point. I haven't added it up, but it would be cool to know. I spent months on this build working on the weekends....

[@lucifurmorningstar9304]

stunning

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@willw7595]

Great build. your blade pattern is kool.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you Will! Cheers sir!

[@millerfortenberryfarm5691]

Super cool build

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you!

[@HeavyForge]

Excellent work! I think the pattern looks awesome. I have yet to do a take down construction but it’s on my list and you executed it professionally!!

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you greatly sir! Your's is next on my list to watch! Excited

[@andyc750]

very nice build

[@RedBeardOps]

I'm glad you like it! Cheers!

[@jamesperkins9833]

Great build man!

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you sir!

[@jmbstudio6873]

Nice job.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@NFTI]

Have you tried the hammer with the carbide ball bearing for straightening slight warps in blades? Works like freakin' magic!

[@RedBeardOps]

Yes, I have one! I didn't have it in time for this build though.

[@hellhound1667]

Congrats on 100k

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mdsuave13]

what white spray do you use for your canisters? Paint?

[@RedBeardOps]

This is a more in depth view of making the canister damascus. Fire Creek Forge gave me the tip on the paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZDUemubocSmjpY

[@ClenioBuilder]

👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

[@edanpino-xt1ph]

Have you ever tried peening a handle on? I think it would have worked great with the theme of the build. That and peened tangs are seemingly the strongest of hidden tangs

[@RedBeardOps]

I have in the past, however, I wanted this construction to be a full takedown (meaning it can be taken apart and put back together at will)

[@briancox4653]

music?

[@RedBeardOps]

Got it all from Artlist: Rotem Moav - Blood on the Snow Linus Johnsson - Night of the Feast Rotem Moav - Warriors Tribe Eleven Kingdoms - Blood on Ice Linus Johnson - The Children of the Woods Eleven Kingdoms - Song for the Fallen Elia Azarzar - The Road to Valhalla Ian Post - Helw Kryd Holy Wars

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Probably fake Damascus but at least it’s not plastic like a real Viking would have used

[@RedBeardOps]

LOL

[@bradleypeters5751]

I really like what you do. You have mad skills. But what i see is a knife being manufactured. You use alot machines verse doing by hand. Dont get me product is sweet.

[@RedBeardOps]

It's what I like to do; the beauty of making I guess is we get to choose! Cheers sir

[@coreyshier7526]

Downright Beautiful Blade. But ain't that the Slickest Damn Trick ya ever seen right there @4:58 ? Beautiful

[@RedBeardOps]

Glad you like it sir! Cheers!
