A completely awesome piece. From the fit and finish of the handle. To the ground fuller/tip work. To that Damascus pattern on the blade. Well done to all involved in making such an awesome and efficiently functional work of art.
amazing work gentlemen keep repping for 520!¡! Love the ivory and brass perfect contrast. Can’t wait to see some more forging’s of your own! Also that stainless clad looked crazy… props on pulling that off, it is a well known pain
Certainly a very special billet that he made for you to grind a sword out of. You did excellent work on this one for sure as anyone who's put fullers in can appreciate just how awful it is!
I think so too, you could do some sorta crazy double hollow or something for a dedicated wagyu blade. For a general slicer that would be too lightweight imo, though I guess your traditional brisket slicer is kind of like that. Hmmm, ideas, ideas.....
Amazon sells the 1” for the fixed sharpener’s and come with and without a backing which I like the backed ones because they are much stronger and less likely to break. They also sell just about any size and shape you can think of tho
Hello, beautiful knife. Thank-you for doing the video. Question…what were you using to stick your sanding disks on the plate. People recommend 3M feathering compound but that is no longer available.
Unfortunately I was in the same dreadful pain, trying to find more feathering adhesive. Imo I didn't like any sprays I used so far. I'm using 'Tack-It Over and Over' and it works... okay. Slightly less strong than Feathering, easier to clean though, you can rejuvenate it with alcohol, and it's MUCH more affordable. More susceptible to water though.
@@craigmcinnis8750 it works by spraying it on the sanding sheets and leaving it to "dry". After that just apply to the sander. Works great and leaves little to no residue and is easily removable 👍
I held that blade in person and it’s impressive. Excellent work from you guys. Gabe is a good friend of mine and an excellent maker!
Thank you so much! Gabe's awesome
Another wonderful peek into your practice! Every technique makes me more aware of how much i have to learn
It was awesome to see this come together from nearly start to finish in person! Truly an awesome collaboration!
Thank you for your guest appearance and helping me with the extravagant mesquite firewood handle.
@@DonNguyenKnives it was a beautiful handle! 😜

Thank you so much
I was so hoping that you would do a video about this beauty. Amazing video and knife as always Don.
Amazing work Don!
Great video boys!
That has to be one of the nicest Damascus patterns about it really suits this style of blade excellent fit and finish great combo guys
Nicely done my friend 👌🏻

Man, thank you! Really appreciate that
gorgeous design and pattern on the blade. Solid work.
bang on job. Is there a video of the billet being forged?

Used Razorstar for the first time today, also very impressed.
Thanks for the video don! Maybe a super thin s-grind would work good for Wagyu. Looks pretty tough to cut!

Did I see some sanding fixtures from Ed??
Yep I got one from him a long time ago!
Can’t wait to attempt something like this. Where do you get yours stones at? Most thing ones I find are so much smaller (about 1/4” wide)
Man, I can't even remember where I got that one. Most of my other stones are actually 1" wide

Super 77 from 3M is something I use for my disc sanders.

@@scherlfirearts7142 Do you have a certain amount of time before it sets up and becomes unremoveable? How do you clean it? Thanks!
@@DonNguyenKnives Thanks, I will give it a try. Please let us know if you find a great replacement! Cheers

What are you using as a push stick?
Teflon rod
Hey don so quick question could you have done the fuller first before you ground in the bevel? it’s a honest question sorry if it’s dumb
You can, but this one I didn't know what my final geometry was going to look like, so I decided to do it after
That name kkkkkkkk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
