Gotta say, generally not a fan of sax/seax type knives, but that’s very nice!

One of the best hand forged and crafted pieces of functional art I have ever been able to view! I really like the black motif. Would love to see a scabbard or sheath in black pebbled leather or something similar

[@Gunner_Ray]

This knife is seriously beautiful! Impressive Impressive work good sir!!

[@noneyabidness9644]

Most wonderful time of the yeaaarrrrr. With forge fires blowin, and crucible glowing, we'll be of good cheer!

The finished blade looked beautiful. I love the details with the bone guard and the concave handle.

Amazing work! I'll never stop being impressed by the beauty of your wootz steel! Slava Ukraini!

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍 Geroyam Slava

[@SonoraSlinger]

Just me and wishful thinking - FZ and Shurap Collab. You make woots billets, and Shurap makes some crazy Damascus pattern out of weird stuff and combines them. Then you make the handle. Probably would be the most viewed knife making video on YT

[@Anonym-yr4qn]

That's what i love about smithing and also why i say it's art. You take a material and shape it as you imagine it. Beautiful. 🙌

[@shakdidagalimal]

Nice pull together on the design it looks to match very well.

[@courtneesdad]

I love this one. Best one of yours so far. 🏆👍

[@kelho46]

Just the simple fact that you produce your own steel it’s already a warning that something out of this world is coming… and as always, it did! 👏👏👏👏

[@tiborinna]

Lets be honest. We didnt see him melting up iron ore with some other added substances, like poop, and ash, that used to be done by wootz. That would be his own steel. This is done steel from bearrings. Anyway, its a very nice work ofc.

[@lewisstallings5485]

Truly amazing! Beautiful pattern!

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@rohanraj4168]

I am surprised that steel could be transformed into such an art, this knife is amazing and as a matter of fact the color black adds on to the awesomeness in its look ... Bravo and kudos !!!

[@ch0cchip704]

Always great to see you work and creat such an amazing looking blade that handle is beautiful, when finished the detail is stunning

[@АлексейЧердаков-р5л]

[@brendalindsay1904]

Incredible. What a beautiful grain, like living steel. Compliments the burred out spine and grip. Another master class video. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@titwo]

As Always, it looks that you are in "automatic" mode, relying mainly on your intuition. Obviously, for a wannabe knife maker like me, your vidéo puts me in a adoration state of mind !😁 Great respect for a not much well known shape, bringing us in darker era, so the colors are perfect. Much respect to you sir. Good day from sunny Lubéron mount, France

[@bjornronaldson6017]

Beautiful pattern and I love the texture on the hilt and bolster!

[@Charlielizard]

Absolutely beautiful and the detailed "beauty highlights" made it stand apart from any other knife. You went above and beyond and it shows. Thank you for sharing your amazing blade with us. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

next project I ask you to make the legendary Uzbek pchak

[@fz-makingknives3663]

👍

[@lorneclose7312]

Very nice but not really wootz closer to cannister Damascus

[@petryshchenkov2008]

Good job 👍

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@com2stay]

Hello what is your reason for not forging the bevel? Great work.

[@tiborinna]

Very beautyfull. I got catched on 2 things. First, why not grinding off most ofvthe material prior quenching? The material is softer, and no accindents with grinding overheating. Second, why handle glued only? A mosaic stick would improve it further, and safer.

[@codyironworks307]

I have so many questions

[@bengoodwin5093]

Beautiful 🤩

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks

[@thenotsurechannel7630]

Good looking blade! I'm surprised, however, that you didn't put a retention pin through the tang, leaving only the resin to retain it in the handle.

[@jackdorsey4850]

Nice job

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@leobulero3485]

nice work, i love your wootz! i have some questions: why do you do stock removal with wootz steel? can't it be forged unlike pattern welded constructions? why do you do heat treatment before grinding? I'd imagine the grinding and heat treatment may be more effective for good edge retention? just wondering.. :)

[@Pablo668]

Really nice result as always! edit: Probably the best thing you can do with Zero sugar coke.

[@fz-makingknives3663]

👍

[@svarogzzz4497]

Просто пушка! Класс!!! 👍👍👍

[@estebanmurphy1373]

What's the concept behind hammering before putting in the press?

[@fredrichardson9761]

Beautiful pattern on that blade! Never ceases to amaze me how you get these great outcomes from your wootz technique. Beautiful blade and also a beautiful handle! 👍

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@markalan3108]

ok, so why use the round press dye instead of the flat dye? does it move more metal vs the flat?

[@sehunlimitedsonyahoward1165]

That is awesome 😎

[@robertjones6628]

A perfectly smooth tang held in the handle with nothing but epoxy. I wonder how many whacks at a 2x4 would send that blade flying across the backyard?

[@stevenewsome9185]

That is absolutely beautiful work!

[@tommasotruzzi5581]

Wonderful as always. How much would that be if I may ask?

[@SkapanirPMC]

You should put more signs as to what channel this is, there isnt enough and I often forget what channel Im watching lol great build

[@saeidentezari5297]

I watch all your videos. Can you make Caucasian Kindjal with this method?

[@IWatchedWhat]

Very beautiful, did you see where the pattern made the word COX on it, and near the edge close to the bolster they is a small figure that looks like a person standing? Wishing you and your family health and safety.

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks

[@markcassidy1428]

Very nice 👍👍

[@cozmoos]

Is this type of steel harder? Also I noticed that it doesn’t flake as much.

[@ricardoabreu69]

Holly shi... Everything match in perfection. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@СлаваУкраїні-б3я]

Гарна річ!

[@christiansteele7386]

Amazing video, as always, but I’ve been looking for some antler like that for some time now and haven’t been able to find it. What kind is is and where did you get it from?

[@tduna329]

What did you put into your crucible?

[@bateman2112]

I'm assuming the graphite is for carbon but what's the glass for? Silica?

[@Chickenpigeon22]

Which quenching oil do you use?

[@Maelthras]

Never heard a molten billet ring when struck before, that stuff is incredibly hard. Just insane, he had to get it hotter and it made little difference, had to use the press.

[@bernjwallace6877]

How long do you cook the steel in that ceramic pot?

[@heiko.h8263]

Amazing! Really beautiful pattern and a great job in general. The only thing I don't like is the filework on the back of the blade. It is imo unnecessary. But, this seax is your work and you can create it the way you want. Congratulations! 👍👍👍 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks

[@kingsfire2142]

Just a question What makes this wootz steel?

[@PounderPrime]

Truly a gorgeous piece, sir. One question, do you feel that the lack of a mechanical connection between the tang and the handle will make the handle loosen over time?

[@michaeltownley7739]

It's a beautiful knife, but over time, that handle is going to come right off.

[@d4j4r58]

Have you collected enough material to make a video of using off-cuts and make an axe head? Or is it a bad idea?

[@monkeking8604]

I always wonder, what the benefits of your wootz steel, i mean sometimes you used bearing steel, or razor blade to make wootz, which in itself a good steel for knife, is it purely for the patern, or the wootz steel properties just generally better? It's just pure curiosity, always loved your work

[@brunovandooren3762]

Most of the benefit is the aesthetic. There are cutting benefits too, because the carbides act as microscopic serrations that are exposed form the edge steel. However I always describe that as 'the cherry on the cake'. The most important thing is to have a cake to put that cherry on. I like working with wootz, it's gorgeous steel. But if we start looking at modern high alloy steels such as Vanadis 4 for example, that would eat wootz blades for breakfast. But I like working with wootz most of all because it is such beautiful and organic looking steel.

[@chewyakarieckenicholas6049]

That turned out great but on a personal note I think it would have looked better with the natural look of the antler even though it is a beautiful blade

[@omihurst]

I love it
