The first episode in a new series I'm working on will debut this Friday! I'm eally stoked to share this Mini Documentary about Nate Olinger with you on Friday... This is my first dive into documentary/ interview style film making and honestly I'm pretty damn proud of how it came together. Really looking forward to doing more of these and continuing to grow as a story teller...

Just a relatively short video documenting my first wakizashi build. This is a brut de forge style piece made from around 4ish inches of 1" round W2 tools steel, sapele, wenge, and copper. Blade length is 17 inches. Hope you enjoy! . . Jleesknives.com jleesknives . . . #bladesmithing #wakizashi #brutdeforge #forged #forging #blacksmith #knifemaking

Making A Wrought Iron & 10k Year Old Bog Oak Chef Knife
That tang looks pretty thin.. almost like it's not forged of high carbon steel, but thin gauged sheet metal.
@@guadalupemreyesiv1378 it was forged from 4" of 1" round bar like at the beginning of the video... fully tapered in each direction.... Makes for good balance, and overall weight reduction...
@@guadalupemreyesiv1378 it's about 1/8” thick on the spine just in front of the handle
The museum fit on that handle is killer
@@Niksow thank you! It's definitely the way to go imo...👊☕👊
This will be a great series 👍🏼
@@Hopeknives13 thanks!
Fantastic! Keep 'em coming!
@@frankdevlin54 thank you! Will do!
Excited to see where this series goes.
@@daneschumacher3392 thanks! Me too!

One of the most underrated channels on UA-cam. Awesome work, I would love to be a guest on your show sometime.
@@MNSmiths-on2qz hey thanks! If I start traveling out of state that's a possibility...
Nice Work Jared!
@@bartonius1063 thanks! 👊👊
Awsome video I've honestly been waiting for a series like this to come out at some point, and now we have one!
@@petersankel9629 thanks! I'm looking forward to making more!
Real slick!
@@ReptileRunt thanks!
Bin ein 64 jähriger Schmied und mir gefällt ausnehmend gut die händische Schmiedearbeit! Eine Kleinigkeit: die obere Kante des Briefes sollte nicht als kleine Stufe in den Klingenrücken über gehen. Viele Köche halten das Messer weiter vorne und bekommen dann Druckstellen. Aber sonst, 1A😊
@@johannestreitner9460 hey, I appreciate it! That step is slightly chamfered, but also adds strength to a hidden tang blade. Many Japanese knives are made with an even bigger step... The contour of my handles are actually designed for this choked up pinch grip... I and quite a few pro chefs around the world use one similar every day and I can assure you it's very cozy👊👊👊
Cant wait to see the end product.. great work.
@@guadalupemreyesiv1378 thanks!
So Nice.
@@kylesnuffleupagus8591 thanks!
Im waiting for the epoxy to dry on my new blade!! Cheers
@@danzmason9669 gotta love the wait 😅
This is the best looking fixed blade I’ve ever seen. I love your work. And soon I’ll buy something like this. My budget is just tight right now
@@danielduvall4154 hey thanks! I totally get it, that's partly why I started making them! I'll be here when you're ready. 👊👊
That handle is gonna be beautiful!😮
@@kylesnuffleupagus8591 I'm super excited to finish it! Love walnut...
I’m a work in progress lol
@@hunterely9247 me too... Me too...
Me too guy... Me too... Lol
looks stunning wow!
@@Cratercitysmith thanks!
Can never go wrong with Koa!
@@Labrador_Forge absolutely!
Cross peen is definitely my go to hammer. Even got a really nice one from that J Lees fella...😂
Oh oh! I have one of those too! They're great! 😂
Awesome video!
@@davidpopovich661 thanks dude!
Super c'est très joli, le résultat est cohérent, il te reste a fabriquer le fourreau 'saya'
Hand sanding... What a great way to start it off... Lol
@@petersankel9629 it's not bad... I can usually knock out a chef in 20-30 minutes... I was still feeling a bit slow today though😂
Love it . What’s that finish called ? That’s pitty aged finish . ??
@@Ruthless9187 thanks! that's just forged to finish, and then I acid etched and stone washed it.
That’s a sweet little blade.
@@hawkknight4223 thank you 👊☕👊

Squish
Λοιπόν φίλε puukko δεν θα το έλεγα αλλά σίγουρα είναι ένα πολύ όμορφο μαχαίρι.
Jared your knives are some of my favorites in the chef knife community specifically; that pinch point being ground in and sometimes even forged in always makes me stop and admire your work! Some of my everyday carry models I sell I’ve based on that style because of how influential it has been to the way I view a pinch point transition! ❤️
@@IanZ_Forge hey! Thanks, that means a lot!
beautiful knife i wish i could forge that good lol where did you get your guiotine tool?
@@Anderson-HandForged thanks! The guillotine was made by Cliff and John at sunset forge...
@@jleesknives thanks man thats what i thought i emailed him the other day love your work bro
awesome video sweet blade i need to step my forging game up
Very 😎 cool to watch .
@@CharlaLeibrock I can guarantee you it was hot in the shop! 😂👊☕👊
Made to order over at jleesknives.com
What size ball bearing did you use for that tool?
@@mjollnir613 I made a couple different sizes, but I'm pretty sure this one was 1.25"
I can see why that looks amazing
@@coultermoulton1663 thanks!
Big fan of your work man, love the hammer you made!
@@WilliamLeBaron thank you! 👊👊👊
