Come Hell Or High Water (Raising Money For The Montana Flood Victims)

[@rickdearmont9950]

I love Will’s knowledge of the metric system.

[@benjaminfallowfield5658]

I only dislike this comment because I am Canadian and the metric system does not work here

[@puritan745]

"or 32 metres for those of you who use metric" Hahaha I laughed so hard! I use both in the uk. Knife looks stunning btw!

[@rbardy]

My thoughts exactly. When i heard that I knew a comment would be in the top here.

[@markoconnell804]

lol

[@trentwilliams158]

dude 32 metres there would be nothing left

[@dudemanproductions4529]

32 meters ~ 104 ft 11.8 inches

[@puritan745]

@@trentwilliams158 lol, I'd say - that's 105 feet! He was having a friendly dig at us metric users and it made me laugh!!!

[@Sabeteur83]

I laughed way too hard at the jab at metric users, "or 32 meters for those that use metric" was a great line Will. Such a beautiful knife with all the colors not only complimenting each other but symbolizing elements as well was a great touch.

[@NemoConsequentae]

Just off by a milli!

[@microbuilder]

I'd love to do bladesmithing, but know I never will, thanks for letting me live vicariously through your videos.

[@dillonthomasson623]

why won't you?

[@Tokahax]

You'll have your opportunity. Keep an eye out, or collect a couple tools when you get the chance, and start small. Scrap piece of rebar heated with a torch and hammered on a tree stump won't get you super far, but it'll get you started!

[@betafishjeremy7454]

You should give it a go even if it's just a hobby

[@microbuilder]

The problem is time...theres just not enough of it, I've already got more hobbies than I can invest proper time into. I'm content to just watch lol

[@NeelsVandenBerg]

35 meters might be a bit thick. I can see why you dropped them ... 😆 you guys are good people

[@doriWyo]

It began in Yellowstone, in northwestern Wyoming, and followed the Yellowstone River into Montana. Wonderful thing you are doing!

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

I have a piece of Arctic Circle preserved mammoth ivory that was frozen in permafrost for 10,000 years. Enough material for making a small pocket knife handle but cool non the less. I have no idea when I'll get a chance to use it but I'm saving it for the right project.

[@frankierzucekjr]

Freakin awesome. I love the mammoth rib, how cool is that? I love how the blade looks like woodgrain around the outside and like water on the inside. So darn cool. I hope you guys raise a ton of money, God bless all of the people who have suffered through the flood and I'm praying for you all. God bless

[@freqenc]

I like the tang exposed, really shows off the damascus pattern.👍

[@stevie3126]

Love the way you take a rough material and turn it into a work of art

[@VexChoccyMilk]

An idea for the next time you drill thin scales like this: clamp it to the block as you did, but then put some plastic wrap on the bottom and support it with some air-drying clay to keep it from flexing.

[@redrover1565]

Thirty-two meters = 104.9869 feet. That's thick!

[@cinemaipswich4636]

Hey Wills. I have used 2 pack polymers for a long time. We all do the resin+catalyst mixture But you can mix in inert filler. This helps make a paste, and not a runny liquid. Mix in the sawdust to make a paste and then mix in the catalyst.

[@omegaflameZ]

For tricky materials like that you may want to consider a set of brad-point bits for wood-working. They've got cutting spurs on the outside and a fairly pronounced center point so they track well and do clean cuts on the outside edge if you handle them right. Never as good as just drilling from both sides but pretty good nevertheless.

[@deadaccount6135]

@Ryan Love Another reason for the shape is the bottom end is flat, making the hole flat bottom as well. Used most commonly for bookshelf peg holes, to hold the support pegs tightly, so the shelf can have lots of adjustment height wise.

[@MakeEverything]

Awesome! Had to get in on this to help Montana!

[@WillStelterbladesmith]

Thanks Chris!

[@patmancrowley8509]

You'll lose 32 meters? 104.98 feet? Wowsers, that a BIG set of liners!

[@Orangie2008]

Highest praise after a collab? "Let's do another one!"

[@baggaza]

Wouldn't be a Will Stelter video without some hand sanding goodness. Should rebrand to Will Hand-Sandin' Stelter at this point haha. Even though I'm over in Australia I think I'll have to get in on this, both because of the utterly stunning work you and Josh have achieved with this knife, and because we had some horrific floods a few months ago (particularly in a place called Lismore), and it hits close to home. God bless, and amazing work.

[@AdamsWorlds]

Praying for all those affected

[@lancemillward1912]

That knife is pure art.

[@watercolorhomie146]

Dude your awesome... I'm kinda new to the love of forging.. thru watching forged and fire. Now watching to your channel to get my blacksmithing fix. Love your stuff work brother. Thank you for sharing

[@ThatWorks]

Well done fellas! Good men!

[@Merennulli]

Is there a way to donate directly? It's lovely merch and prizes, but I don't have a use for multiple zippos or a bunch of shirts/hats and my health has left me, so I'd rather the prizes go to someone who can enjoy them.

[@jimcorbett3764]

I've never seen mammoth ribs used before- pretty cool. That blade looks awesome. Nice work!

[@craigsummerville8823]

I wonder if mammoth rib stinks as much as deer/elk bone or antler when it’s sanded or cut with a grinding bit. You still could have included the titanium shims with the knife to have an extra comfort option for various hand sizes.

[@Ezzell_]

What age was he when he became a master. What is the minimum time between Journeyman to Master?

[@kevinpulver4027]

19 yrs. Old= master

[@randomplayer6716]

What type of bolts did you use for the handle? They look great and really compliment the knife

[@col.mustard1233]

what channel do we need to see the sheath being made?

[@avla24]

I am not a knifemaker and I'm not judging just trying to understand what I am seeing, but at 12:23 in the video, is that a huge crack right down the center of the blade or am I high?

[@Spiralem]

12:23 what's up with the sawtooth-like edges?

[@notold37]

Beautiful work MEN, stunning finish on the knife 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

[@U014B]

9:36 That's actually 32 _°C_ (or about 12 Kelvins).

[@philochristos]

32 meters. Wow, that's a lot.

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

Great looking knife. Glad to see people giving back to the community. Howdy from Canada EH!

[@utdesertghost199]

That's a beautiful piece, just entered for it and hopefully what you guys are doing will help make a difference up there. Thanks for what you're doing and to everyone else who is also entering and contributing to a good cause.

[@benjaminzirker7557]

Is the competition open to people outside of the USA?

[@justinbanks2380]

Amazing work to you both, and great way to raise money. Will, your humor never fails to bring a smile. And, anyone else want to see what random things are laying around in his shop? 'oh, I'm just gonna use this sheet of titanium, and mastodon rib' Wait, what? Lol

[@Gunnslinger50]

Laughed way too hard at 32 meters!

[@OB1F1]

Shirt ordered and entered to win!! Beautiful knife and for a great cause.

[@mrjibrhanjamalkhan2144]

So some type of boat is needed,

[@Cowter4]

I like the ‘stache at the end, Will

[@TheSurferboy2]

Amazing give away and great way to helping out! Great job on the knife as well!

[@monabale8263]

4:57; the "pith" is marrow... a bit crunchy now but still...

[@yodasbff3395]

Beautiful workmanship 👍, some lucky person is going to be the proud owner of that awesome knife.

[@nunyabizness4354]

Well done and thanks! Another Stelter perfomance.

[@Thorim39]

32m are 104 feet^^ i had to listen to that paart quite alot. nonetheless beatuiful knife

[@BraxxJuventa]

Beautiful knife for a great charity thing. 👍😁👍😁

[@matyourin]

Idea for that drilling: put the pieces into playdoh or putty, make sure they are flat and parallel to the table, freeze it and then drill.

[@nobodynoone2500]

There are special holding waxes made for that purpose. Common in engraving and jewelry.

[@AbatieBell]

This is awesome work guys!

[@rossgraveley]

That's going 2B one unique knife It looks absolutely awesome 😎😃

[@tybertimus]

Will "Karate-chop titanium" Stelter. Has a nice ring to it (pun intended)

[@kevinm594]

Nobody's talking about the Hoyo EL in the thumbnail? Amazing cigar!

[@draven86]

Great looking knife Will. Btw do you know anyone who used T-Rex fossilized bone for handle material or other Dinosaur fossil like Triceratops?

[@davidsorum1715]

It's good to see a Bobcat and a Grizzly working together for a great cause.

[@MarkusMahlberg]

32 meters? A third of a football field? ;)

[@rhettashley2010]

Made me laugh with metric conversion. Good job Will. Love your videos.

[@josephlittlepage9510]

will im a huge fan of yours and have been since you joind alec way back when and theres a project idea i had because of one of your videos. there's a Disney plus show coming out soon based off the percy jackson book series will you honor the percy jackson Fandom with making riptide (Percy's weapon) and backbiter sword version (the main antagonists weapon) from the book series the backbiter will be extremely difficult because it's either half bronze half steel or a demascus bronze/steel which is impossible but your ideas are genius, also im posting a almost exact copy for Alec in hopes that it becomes a challenge to make them from their book descriptions and not the art to see how diffrent they look from one another or how similar

[@Dornul]

"32 meters" that cracked me up so much!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

Hat ordered! Thank you for doing this gentlemen!

[@Redtailedhawk99]

Well only a week or two late. Thanks KZbin. Your notification settings are lacking.

[@chrispennington8053]

What a beautiful knife for a great cause. Nice work!

[@gieljannoe6404]

32 meters?

[@ronbarnett2383]

Did will mean microns ?

[@ScottRedstone]

Beautiful knife. Ignore the snarky quips about meters or metres or whatever. Clearly you know what yer doin.

[@mking3219]

Guys if I were rich I'd give a bunch! I can only send well wishes...great build fellas!

[@michaellumbrazo7924]

About 32 meters

[@UncleJer78]

Tried to order from Japan, but unfortunately I'm not available to complete to. All the best guys, and I hope I'm eligible in the future.

[@Big_Un]

VPN!

[@checoleman8877]

Great looking knife.

[@lukeescamilla9386]

Would love to see a hell of high water sticker

[@garyhost354]

Will is looking jacked.

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@quarlow1215]

Awesome knife you guys. And a great cause.

[@Jkirk1988]

I wanted that Zippo. Make more!!!

[@Dronston]

Beautiful knife.

[@anthonyraye5831]

I think you should add the USA made because people are looking for that stuff nowadays

[@thedarwinexperience5312]

Absolutely killer job per usual. I pray the people in the towns effected are ok, and will remain to be ok with the tough times ahead. Thanks for giving a damn guys. Cause we know a lot of people just don't.

[@logantidwell7698]

Day 1: asking will to make a damascus winkler sayoc tomahawk Also, great vid! I live near Yellowstone so I've heard a bit about the flooding, but I didn't know it impacted Montana so much

[@johnniekane6315]

I bet you got that bone at Blade show. sorry I ambush you on the escalator at blade show. Congratulations on getting your junior Bladesmith

[@billycurran9688]

Super cool

[@joelblair8339]

Very cool

[@johnpoc6594]

32 meters? haha Great job for a good cause

[@AvanaVana]

Natural disasters in Montana: add EQs to that. Quake Lake, formed in 1959 as a result of the 7.2 moment magnitude Hebgen Earthquake. Y’all are overdue for another EQ, too. The whole intermontane west is filled with active faults. The Yellowstone volcanic hotspot is another potential hazard of far greater magnitude, although we probably won’t see a cataclysmic eruption at Yellowstone for thousands of years. So your family is basically the Duttons from the Yellowstone series? 🤯 PS, should have called the fundraiser “Come Help For High Water”.

[@ibrahim-sj2cr]

a real work of art. i would buy it and never use it and just enjoy it

[@esnyd]

Who is Eric Stelter?

[@seansanchez3710]

i get the arm hair sharpness test, but theres tons of other sharpness tests. the piece is still beautiful but something about it feels ruined knowing someone cut their own body hair with it

[@markoconnell804]

Wow

[@starhawke380]

My best way to spend $5 on a knife is to take it to the county fair and pay a guy who knows what he is doing $5 to sharpen it. Ive turned butcher knives into fillet knives trying to get a good edge...

[@markroper9269]

Correction, sir.....that is 33.314 meters! Such a simple error!!! :P

[@zex69]

Beauty

[@bennieleip579]

32 meter ? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣 big ass knife

[@erikcourtney1834]

Got that dirty Sanchez goin on 🤣.

[@riffraff9000]

"Black epoxy?" Acraglas?

[@LittIegator]

32 meters lmao

[@donjeep6800]

32 meters .i think you mean millimeters. 32 meters would be 104.98 feet.

[@danomite22]

32 millimeters

[@rickvankeulen726]

0,150 inch = 32m -will stelter

[@bryanduchane2371]

Not sure what it takes to be a MB, but Will has that achievement covered!!!

[@rhodie33]

great video

[@daveperkins2927]

32metres?! 🤣🤣

[@saginawdan]

👍😎👍
