Not gonna lie, this would basically fill all of the roles a camp axe or a big hatchet would do, I think you should make a sheath for it!
Yes please! Sheath video!!!
I was thinking the same thing. My thought was, has Will just come up with a VERY marketable and desirable new tool?
And it's certainly deserving of a sheath. It's an awesome blade.
It's not quite as long or as pointy, but if anyone is looking for a similar knife you can actually buy: check out the Terävä Skrama 240. It seems to be the best value for a big indestructible chopper like Will's knife.
He should make it out of zombie hide!
Bad ash camp tool right there!
Whether it's a project of complexity and delicacy or a great brute like this, you just can't help making things of amazing beauty!
Outstanding video and I freaking love O1 tool steel! From ultra thin straight razors to your monster chopper it can do it all!
I love that chopper...Your comment about it being a great truck knife reminds me of the time back in the '80s as a teen when I was driving way too fast on an old logging trail in the spring and my car went off the road and I had to chop down a 6" thick pine tree with a machete I always kept in my trunk in order for me and my friend to lever it out of the mud I was stuck in, we made it work...I grew up in NH and we had a lot of forest, a great many of our teen activities were oriented around playing in the woods and doing stupid things that should have killed us.
This channel is interesting. The first time I thought that it would be cool. And it's absolutely amazing.
Will is quite talented.
Quite talented? Understatement I think ,
Thank you!

Probably one of the most enjoyable videos you've made in a long time! So much knowledge is transferred - it wasn't just entertainment, it was edutainment!
I really want to see a huge blade like that in a huge pocket knife.
Phil Harvey is your man. He doesn’t make small knives
Espada XL gets close
How big is your pocket?
Highly impressed with it's performance! I didn't think you were going to get it in 4 chops but when you hit that monster 2nd chop I knew you had it in 3. Well done Will! This was a fun one to watch.
That is a perfect apocalypse knife.
That thing is awesome! I would like to have one. I would make a Kydex sheath for it and add it to my crap hit the fan equipment. It would be great in like a "Get home bag" you could chop trees or kindling with it. It would also work for an anti-personal weapon it needed.
Holy "Walking Dead" man. That things a beast. Love it Will.
You should make a leather sheath for your chopper
Those knives should be named Brute Force, and Mayhem. Nice work.
Great job on the knife, it's can be nice sometimes to just step back from fancy (and awesome) knives and complete a fun quick little project like this that both looks great, but is also functional. Great job, keep it up.
Btw, Proverbs 27:17 is also my favourite verse 😀
Make more of those, I want one!
Looks awesome. And better at chopping wood than any hat hed I ever saw. Watcha think: A leather wrap on the handle would probably be nice for the grip, although obviously not necessary. I have a small tanto style solid piece chopping knife with a leather wrapped grip. Wrapping is oretty comfy and helpful when I have wet hands.
Now that’s a real mans EDC! Definitely need a sheath….scout carry for sure!
says every 12 year boy
To make it truly indestructible, next time do a San Mai III style lamination with really tough steel on the outside layers and much harder, yet somewhat tough steel as the center layer.
Looks like a perfect blade for the show “Knife or Death”
Oh man.
Now _THAT_ is a camping knife!
Hatchet, Machete, Game Breaker, Toothpick, probably even a hammer. looks like it could do everything.
It would be so rad to see you pack it out into the backcountry for a few days and give it some use
glad you are doing well havent seen your vidoes probly youtube pushing them out
That looks awesome! Needless to say I’d buy one! Great job as always!
Now make a super fancy finished fit at polished version!
When I rebuild my forge I’ll have to do this. I love the handle on that
Love these projects! Quick dirty and cool AF! 👍🏼🤘🏼
Man this is freaking awesome!! I got so excited watching the testing and the great results. Keep the good work dude.
Sick tool! Love how raw it is.
That thing chops better than my Fiskars hatchet....lol. What a freakin boss tool Will. Rock on :)
I love your enthusiasm and excitement for your craft !!! Keep ‘em coming Will .. ty
Nice little precision knife. 😁
Getting Multi function on such big knife is very nice... Chopper, Knife, prybar... and you can probably use some part as "hammer" and "shovel" also.
That rocks! Move over Tracker knife. There’s a new chopper in town.
It'd be cool to see you do an entire knife set with this style
After see this build had to give this project a try.. haha moving that much steel is a challenge to be sure. Making out of old leaf spring
So nice to get videos from you day after day
Great work Will!
Looks like something made in the Mad Max era! Nasty cool 👍
I really would like to see a big project like the flammberg again :D
The very first I-beam knife I made was after seeing you make one on an alec Steele video. In love with the design and I’m glad to see it back
Do you know the name of the video? Tried to find it but without success...
@@SirLadon turning an anvil into a brute de forge chopper. Something along those lines
@@mr.grizzly_builds6505 thanks a lot. Found it
looks like a decent bushcraft knife
Awesome chopper!
I was looking at the thickness of that thing and wondered if it would be possible to make a dead blow knife? You know, just for funzies!
That would be a wild concept! I’ll have to think about how it might work!
THIS blade/chopper is worth purchasing! Great job, Wil.
I absolutely adore a simple and savage design like this!!
Love your build and fixing it videos. Keep ‘‘em coming
This channel is becoming what sadly Alec's chanel stopped being... interesting with frequent posts and good content. Lot of forging and knife making. Keep it up Will.
OMG when Alec's channel started trying to be a comedy show, I couldn't take it, and un-subbed. He ruined it for sure... Still love watching Will work!
@@VeeKaChu You member when he started his youtube channel? He would do live streams and answer people's questions and show basics of blacksmithing.
He would forge different simple things that didnt require 50.000$ worthy of equipment.
Now its about everything but blacksmithing.
Alec was always a blowhard. He used to at least make stuff.
Indestructible zombie apocalypse short spear next! Balanced and under 3lbs. An improved version of the zombie tools "spit" with a fuller down the blade and handle
"..it'll go through a 2"*4", or a tree, or a person...just fine."😂 That is a brutal chopper! Good work!
What a beast !!! What's the thickness of the blade, what's its weight? To improve on detailed work, you should take the bevel up the first 2-3 inches from the handle.
Well done, stay safe
Gosh.. If you did end up cutting some tomatoes, the liquid would run down the fuller and straight through your hands and onto the floor... hahah I still love it. Such an epic forge!
In the immortal words of Bobby Duke- I want that!
It's always good seeing you black smiting. Could you make something like this with hand tools? ✋️
Thats a bad mama jamma.
I might need to build a forge again.
Should call it the "Orc chopper" looks like something they'd build.
Thank you for sharing your expertise
Nice job Will !
That things a beast! Awesome skill work!
Lynn Thompson’s new design!!
Great to see you finally make something with all those machines we have watched you restore! The chopper is awesome!
Perfect EDC knife.
So much fun to watch. Thanks Will!
Don't tell Alec, but I love your shop more, between your updates and just a mindful variety of machines for every purpose you may need you make every visitor feel comfortable and every project possible. pretty dope, dude.
Yer ready fer the zombie apocalypse now. That is by far the coolest knife I have ever seen made.
Your friend has an awesome name. Can't wait to see what you made
Great one day project! I think it would be a nice mid-tier forging project in a smaller size too, similar to the rail spike knives.
How about a challenge to make Gränsfors small hatchet spinoff?
The original is a joy to use.
Love this blade!
That's a pretty sweet tool to have around! Good work!
Hey Will, gotta love your hair, which is more than I got. I call it an "Explosion in a mattress factory." What a way to go, mate!🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I owned that.
Would be my edc.
:)
That is Sick! I love forging big crazy stuff like that. God bless you Will Stelter!
You made an awesome and beautiful thing. I think a lot of people would want one of these. I think if you could find someone to make/forge these to your spec, they could sell incredibly well.
Love it!! You need to make a bunch and put them up for sale!!
I am always glad to see an upload on this channel. Gotta say, though, the prior Squarespace ad beat this one to slag.
That looks like a blast!
Awesome neck knife! 👌
You need to make several of those and sell them on your Squarespace site.
Love that chopper
hi Will, I just discovered your channel. So glad I did!
A knife that would compete against a hand axe, could totally see this in a horror movie. This looked like a fun project.
Very nice. As a woodworker, it's awesome to be able to make and create pieces for yourself. I may need to get into knifemaking, because I love knives.
Integrated bottle. Opener in the next one would be cool.
9:32 that really was more like 2!
I will take 2 of those! Sweet job!
You got a great laugh from me on the paper tube test.
Holy shit that's a beast of a knife. Great job. Channeling Doug, "It will kill!"
Super cool project. Nice work!
Awesome work! This caught my eye because I'm partway through building my own "knife" with extremely similar dimensions, and hadn't seen a big knife with a handle of this length. At what point does it stop being a knife and become a sword? Or axe?
Only differences are I'm just grinding down bar stock (since I'm not a blacksmith), using big old oak scales down the side instead of an I-beam, and a bit more of a machete-shaped swell in the blade. Hoping it's half the chopper yours turned out to be!
Dude that thing is so cool
Smart and nice handle 👍
You made a "Chef's Axe", I love it
Well that was a very nice blade you made with your friend. The life for the cabin in the woods. And I think if you open the door with that in your hands a very nice home defence weapon.
That knife is a beauty, I need to try one of those I beam handles someday.
May sound crazy but I'd love to see a second day of "finishing" on that chopper. I imagine a polished fuller channel and a tight transition to a satin finish on the blade. Maybe flatten the spine, you know, still primal, yet refined as well.
It kind of reminds me of one of those crazy Tuna knives
Amazing knife/axe! I want that!
Actually brilliant.
Original.
That is an awesome blade, Look's like it would be the ultimate Zombie Apocalypse Weapon.. Thank you for sharing......
youre awesome will. been following you since you were doing videos with alec
if you had the tip third, the middle third, and the base third of the edge sharpened to different levels, it would make this tool more robust and more useful. with the base of the edge being razor sharp for fine work, the tip being chisel sharp for general cutting and easier penetration of materials, and the middle of the edge being semi sharp like a katana where it is sharp enough to cut if the edge is moving upon contact as in a slashing strike, but is blunt enough to retain it's edge even after multiple heavy impacts. that is how a kukri is sharpened, and is how i sharpen most long bladed knives and machetes, making them more useful for a wide range of tasks.
That's awesome! I love big knives!
How much shock / reverberation travels into your hands on the hard chops with this thing?
The knife that made Crocodile Dundee put his knife away out of pure embarrassment.
