@@jaredleland6667 Hey Jared! If you don’t , mind I’ll make a suggestion here. The DC3 is a great stone, and while you’ll be able to use it to sharpen a convex edge, it won’t work well for establishing a convex edge. If you want to put one on your ESEE I’d say, get 50, 100, 220, 400, 600, 800, 1000 grit sand paper and something soft to place them on (mouse pad is idea). Lube that 50 grit (or 60 or whatever you have) up with wd50 and then start gently, but firmly “sharpening” the knife, BUT do it right ABOVE the relief edge. SO you won’t actually be taking any steal off the edge at all right now. All you’re going to be doing is knocking off the angle where the knife transitions from the full flat grind to the cutting edge. You’re looking to soften the transition from the full flat to the cutting edge which will establish your convex edge and also get rid of a bunch of unneeded steel that hinders cutting. Once you’ve done that, do the same with the 100 with more pressure, and then the same with the 220. At this point you should start to see a shiny convex edge appearing, and that polished steel should cover say 1/4” or so from the edge. so, essentially what was just a tiny edge bevel that was straight has now transformed into a 1/4” edge bevel that is conveyed. Once that’s established, hit the whole shiny part with a sharpie and start into the 400 grit, ensuring that you’re evenly removing the sharpie as you sharpen the blade on the paper. Keep doing that up to 1000 and then polish and you’ll have a world-class convex edge. I did it to my Cold Steel Espada and it completely changed the blade, it’s a fantastic cutter now. Any questions just comment!

@@darylbrenton4839 Daryl thanks for the comment, I appreciate the feedback and am glad you enjoy the content! You’re right about the orange too! My kids always come to me to peel the oranges. So glad you enjoyed, and just in case you’re interested this knife and sheath are available for $350. You can check out more in my website that just launched www.marsforgefire.com/. Thanks so much for engaging!

Hahaha it does feel like I’m on top of the world when I’m out there working! Just a phase of life though, won’t last forever.

@MarsFireForge I dabbled into blacksmithing for a min, my profile Pic was a project I did but my mentor had to retire, bad heart. So, I took up leather work, I'm an amateur.

@@LKS-1976 I saw that piece, the cross with the copper rivet, it looks good! Sorry to hear he couldn’t teach longer.

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed the demonstrations. I looked up Pat he seems like a really cool instructor, glad I’m on the same wavelength! Thanks for watching.

@@MarsFireForge yes sir.

@@LKS-1976 LKS, thanks so much for your appreciation. I’m glad you watched and enjoyed the video, leatherwork like this just takes complete focus and dedication to each small individual step, it’s actually a great life lesson (Which, if 1976 is when you were born I’m sure you’ve learned already, but I’m still learning). Hope you enjoy the other videos as well, thanks for the comment!

@MarsFireForge yes sir, I'm born in 76. I'm an amateur Leatherworker also, full time paramedic for 25 years, Army medic prior. The leather work is my zen and I'm working to get better so I can make it a side hustle. You do great work brother.

@@LKS-1976 Wow, thank you for your long time service and dedication to keeping people alive, that’s such a commendable (and I’m sure very burdensome) trade. I’d love to see some of your leather work sometime.

@@MarsFireForge thank you sir! Will do

Hey, thanks so much for showing interest in the video I greatly appreciate it! I look forward to making more content for you to check out!

@@MrPsiman that’s right! It’s the ancient knife grind that’s served us for centuries! I think it’s superior. Thanks for dropping a comment, and for viewing the channel!

¡Gracias!

@@bobbyd4400 so glad you think so! Honestly I make my knives function first and let aesthetic come naturally from that, but I think it produces a sort of natural beauty. Thanks so much for the support!

@@darylbrenton4839 hey Daryl! It should be working here is the link. instagram.com/p/C8sVSfcR2Fk/?igsh=dmQ5ZTBnbGJlNDZ4. Also I responded to one of the comments you sent about 3 weeks ago on the forged edc knife video, sorry I missed that.

Thanks! Honestly this is my perfect knife, that’s the reason I designed it that way after 15 years of use and making. Im glad you appreciate it! I still need to look into what international shipping would take on my part!

@@MarsFireForge I'm your subscriber, wish you all the best you really deserve this.

@@BBRWild thanks so much for subscribing! I’m very thankful for your interest in the Chanel. Looked it up and seems like shipping overseas would cost between 40-100$ (I’d just go with the cheapest option, that seems to be usps at about $40)

@@MarsFireForge If you have facebook or IG I will contact you.

Certainly! IG is @marsfireforge

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support and you enjoying the channel.

Hey! Good to see you over here! Glad you liked them, especially the taper! Only knife guys appreciate that. Thanks for the support!

Do you sell your handmade knives ? I mean other knives

@@BBRWildthanks so much! I’m glad you could enjoy the knives and video. And I appreciate the positive feedback! Yes I sell them or make custom knives for people as well! Neither of these two are sold currently either.

@@MarsFireForge Thanks ! Is shipping worldwide ?

@@BBRWildhey! Thanks for watching. Good question, I think so, if I can figure out how to ship something overseas

@@MarsFireForge When you know tell me, I’m in Georgia

Thank you! This one has to be my favorite, it always impresses me in the field. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching content!

Thanks! That handle was actually from a Kentucky long rifle blank my grandfather was planning to make before he died. I really love it because it has some of his legacy connected with it.

This comment needs more likes, it still makes me laugh to read it.

Thanks so much for those comments. It’s really encouraging to hear your observations, and I hope others are able to come to those same conclusions! I’m blessed by your engaging with the channel, thanks so much.

Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate the encouragement

@@airiksknifereviews9548 oh that’s frustrating, I’m not sure why that would be. Can you see this one?

@MarsFireForge Yes , and now the other one showed up on my last comment . Last night it wasn't there nor could I see the comment under the other post from someone else. Strange .

@@airiksknifereviews9548 that’s one of the millions of reasons I will never trust self driving cars! An inconvenience here is a car crash there!!

Thanks very much! I make sure to wear and use and test all the gear I produce before I advertise it. I think all designers should be users! Which is why I always loved it when Lynn Thompson ran Cold Steel. That man knew his products!

@@michaelmosley254 thank you! I’ve made quite a few and this is by far my favorite. I appreciate your interaction with the channel!

@@airiksknifereviews9548 I do think it objectively offers the most advantages.

@@airiksknifereviews9548 that’s awesome you augmented the grind on your knives, what did you use to do that? Thanks for the comment!

@@darylbrenton4839 yeah its interesting how it works. I always picture the bow of a boat “cutting” through the water. That shape displaces the water in such a way that allows the ship to travel through the water with the least resistance. The same convex shape is apparent in animals that have to resist currents also, like muscles or clams. In fact I believe the word for convex grind in Japanese is “hamagari” which is the word for clam shell…..think I head Lynn Thompson say that on one of his old Proof videos like back in ‘08. Anyway I believe it’s the best shape for cutting through a material with minimal resistance, as the material is directed away from the blade rather than rubbing up against the side of the blade. Super cool you converted your scandis , what did you use to do that? Thanks for the interaction and the comments I appreciate it!

@@darylbrenton4839 Yeah it’s really not that much work. I think people get way too concerned about rust, water, etc. ALL the old implements were natural materials leather, cotton, steel, and they all got soaked and people just maintained them, it’s as simple as that. Thanks for watching!

@@jackm190 thank you Jack! That’s what being raised in the woods will do, haha.

Thanks Daryl, I’m glad it came out clearly. I really appreciate the attention you pay to the videos, thanks so much for the interest and support.

@@darylbrenton4839 thank you, that’s extremely encouraging, I very much appreciate it! I apprenticed under a great blade smith in 2008 and have been reading, forging, testing, and philosophizing since then, so there’s a log of built up stuff I want to say on this channel. It’s amazing to me that you can find a community of people online with the same interests who enjoy this exact sort of thing. Glad you found the channel!

@@darylbrenton4839 I’m glad! You know I had the same journey, in 2020 I thought to myself, “maybe it’s time to revisit the tanto” I hadn’t used one in a long time and thought they were a gimmick. Once using one at work I found they were extremely helpful in all sorts of situations. Yes this one is convex ground also. All the knives I do will are my special formula for a convex grind…special formula just being the way I do it freehand on the grinder that produces an edge super sharp but also super durable. Thanks so much for your comment and for engaging with the channel!

Thanks so much I totally missed this comment! Never even got a notification for it. Thanks so much for your continued interest and support, you’re absolutely right that I’ve found a formula I like and just dedicated to it. Same thing but going deeper for about 16 years now. I would love to make a video like that, I fact I started and never finished one but I plan to work on one like that. I appreciate people who appreciate the workmanship and functionality of the knives more so than the money, we could talk about making something in our price range if you’d like! You can get in contact with me at marsfireforge@gmail.com if you’d like and we can chat more.

I want you to have confidence in the knife! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, hahaha this was just a time My dad and I were shooting clay birds and I randomly came up with this. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@CC-tk4ik that’s awesome thanks so much! I really appreciate you subscribing and enjoying the videos, there will be more to come!

You just want to make sure it’s veg tanned and it doesn’t necessarily have to be 8oz it could be less. You can search for leather “off cuts” and get discounted remnants of leather also. A strop is a great idea, a long clear section of leather with a little mother’s mag polish in the fibers will make your knife MEGA sharp.

@@Qpid13 so glad they were helpful! Thanks for dropping a comment!

@@RobertoBarrale-od6kf that’s a great point it’s not just the convex edge in this demonstration the recurve plays a role too.

Thank you!!! That’s it!

Thanks so much! Yeah just send me an email at marsfireforge@gmail.com and we can get the process rolling. I look forward to talking more!

@@MarsFireForge ok will do thanks bro!

So honored to have you carry my knife every day, Jack! Thanks!

Hey thanks Nathan! I can’t see this comment from my MFF page for some reason but I can see it here from my other account. High praise from a guy who’s been in the knife scene for many years, I appreciate it!

Jess, that’s high praise from you, because I know you’re a regular, long time, and heavy user of blades. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey!! When I really doing a thorough sharpen I will do 220, 400, 600, 1000 (and that’s kind of hasty but that’s what I do) 400 would be a good maintaining paper to repair minor dings and also leave a nice sharp edge. Then for the stone use a fine Arkansas stone.
