I'm a cutlery amateur cutter, working only with carbon steel and stainless steel. I loved your work. It is not enough to have the best tools if you do not know how to use them, it is no use knowing the materials if you do not know the technique of how to use and work them. And you know very well how to master both. That's why you won one more subscriber. Congratulations master.
As ever Freerk. Your craftsmanship is second to none my man. I truly wish I could afford one of your creations because you will only make so many in your lifetime. And to own an "FW" stamped creation would be a family heirloom for generations to come. Great job my friend.
If you are a craftsperson (and it doesn't matter what medium you work in), watching Freerk is inspiring for the sincere amount of care he puts into *every* aspect of his work.
I think it's "almost" a Khukuri- particularly a sirupate design. Appreciate the dedication but the Ratio of width of top Curve and middle to bottom shouldn't be same and the notch is must. Thanks for the making a symbol of my nation ,thank you again 😃
Came out nice although in the future there is really no point to spending all that time patterning the tang area since you covered it up anyways. All in all good job
love seeing smiths work,but don't know much more then the basics.however what is it he's doing by cutting cross cuts then forging then drilling and then forging what does that do?is it for style and design or making stronger the steel?
Both, I think. As far as I know the layering is done to combine the qualities of two different types of steel. A hard one for a sharp edge and a more mallable one so the blade doesn't break. The beautiful look is a welcome byproduct of the process. Not sure what the drilling was about though.
@@stephanellenberg2871 nope that's not what he's doing.for super steel one only dents the edge then using hypercold like 50 below freezer to tighten the atoms up,then one reheats it and cools it down 12-15 times. as well what you are talking about is japanese welding style no drilling holes like that.i don't know about the cross lines or dimples he puts into that still.but thxs for offering help.
I'm an old woman just wanna ask neone,wot is the purpose of kukri ? I think its just a weapon rite? When G.Britain fight against argentina bcuz falkland island,this kukri started to be known (i guess) ,those gurkhas army brought that to the war field.

- Handle made from: 3 separate sections each side: - Red Deer stag horn from near Lochbay, Isle of Skye, Scotland - Snakewood/Letter wood (Brosimum guianense (= Piratinera guianensis) (family Moraceae) (Letterwood, Leopardwood) in South America, an exotic hardwood prized for its highly figured grain) - African Blackwood ‘Mpingo’ or Grenadilla
Only flaw I can really see is that you didn't really replicate the ''M'' hook traditional design at the base of the blade. It's actually not really important, but traditional kukri's have them. It apperantly is a homage ( or something else, I don't know for sure my lore on the nepal religion is hazy) to the God Shieva. The God of destruction in the hindoe religion. But as I said, it's not really that important as more weapon smiths don't replicate that design. I have a kukri myself, bought in Nepal and it has it. Not the cool damascus design however haha. That looks really good Freerk. Great sheath too.
Its not a classical khukri...its a BOWKHRI...HYBRID OF BOWIE & KHUKRI...BUT NEVERTHELESS VERY WELL MADE,but i didnt see any heat treatment or did I miss it??

I like watching his because there is only the sound of his hard work
Absolutely great work of Art!

nice work, not sure about the belt loop though. seems like it would hang pretty awkwardly from a belt, either way im impressed, keep up the good work!
My only regret in watching you is in not having the pleasure of wielding your treasures
wow wonderful
I just read a article on U Tube claiming that Damascus steel was a lost art , and its a mystery how it was made. lol. They haven't been to this sight.
Now that’s awesome 👏🏼
The sheath is simple but man thets a nice and good loking sheath
You are creative and sophisticated

I'd have 0 use for this living on the top floor in an apartment, but I still want it!
When the people below you get too loud, theres a good reason right there lol
Ha quedado precioso, pero la funda con el agua y la humedad, no se, me preocuparía. Porque no hacerla en vaquetilla o kydex???
Awesome,as usual.
Beautiful craftsmanship! How much would an identical one cost a buyer?
good job
Wunderbar! Wie gewöhnlich
Workers all world are exactly same . No doubt Karl Marx was absolutely correct in saying "workers of all the world unite".
Awesome.
ну просто охренительный тесак
Правда ни разу не кукри, но тем не менее... ))))))))))))
I see one problem a kukri has more bend in it beside that it's perfect
Огонь клинок
It will last for an eternity for sure.
¡All that technology to create a primitive weapon. What a contradiction !

Would you ever consider making gandalfs sword? That would be and awesome piece of art!
I agree with Raymond that would be an amazing piece of work you must make it
❤❤❤❤❤👊
What materials were used on handle and what wood the scabbard was made from?
- Handle made from: 3 separate sections each side:
- Red Deer stag horn from near Lochbay, Isle of Skye, Scotland
- Snakewood/Letter wood (Brosimum guianense (= Piratinera guianensis) (family Moraceae) (Letterwood, Leopardwood) in South America, an exotic hardwood prized for its highly figured grain)
- African Blackwood ‘Mpingo’ or Grenadilla
