Sir. iv seen many vids on knife forging and have to say what an inspiration you are. very well documented well filmed. A massive thank you for sharing your Quality's.
Wow I don't comment on youtube vids much but that was inspiring! There is something about doing it right and doing it the old fashion way..and that's why I keep buying your knives!! Keep up the incredible work!
The (Western) world need more exceptional skilled labor men like this and cherish them! Not only like Murray Carter but in al kinds of branches......from bladesmiths to farmers, they posses knowledge and human qualities that strive the human race forward and should NEVER be lost to industrialism.
While I agree, we need more individuals who take pride in their work, and know what they're doing. Murry is the exception, not the rule on quality work. I mean, ask yourself what all he has been through to get where he's at today? I don't know exactly what all he has been through, but I know a bit of it.. and even that's dedication that you wouldn't get from any of the majority in the US.
The background music in the beginning is "Whenever You Ready", by Max Normal. I never thought I'd hear it in a knife forging video, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised.
Would you please demonstrate the forging and sharpening of the knife that you created for your ABS Master Smith cutting and durability test. I read about it in your book and as a beginning knife maker I feel I learn more watching one of your demonstrations vs reading several books on technique. With the greatest respect, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
cont. ..I actually wonder about our school system in the US... most skills not so long ago.. (in the grand scheme of things) were passed down through apprenticeships.. start em out young, and raise them up doing said skill. But I'm a product of public school, and I look back on it, and I had luckily TWO classes.. in my school experience that delt with hard science... hands on. One was a tech class, in 5th grade? and the other was my senior year of highshool. Wood shop.
Awesome looking knife. Quick question on the quench - why are you able to quench in water, not oil? is this because most of the blade is low carbon? Also you are able to forge so thin and not get any warps etc? is that due to annealing/normalising and again because most of the blade is low carbon? thanks
whats funny is the steel murrary is known for wokring with, white steel, objectivly has less edge retention than just about anything else out there save for other basic carbon steels like 10 series. murray grinds his knives nice and thin so they cut well and seem to be shar even though the steel goes dull extremely fast.
These are fascinating and enjoyable..I'm thinking about getting your book, but I think I might be a little "frustrated" by gaining some understanding yet without the tools to follow through on any desires haha!
Hey Murray, quick question for you. What is the best way to straighten a blade after it has been heat treated and tempered? When heat treating thin kitchen knives I almost always get a small warp that needs to be corrected.
It's cheaper for the school system to have a set curriculum of 8 or 10 subjects rather than pay specialized instructors to travel around teaching specialized subjects. I suppose they could set up private schools that teach actual skills rather than history or foreign languages, but anyone who can afford to send their kids to private school, has no intention of them doing physical work.
...But the two classes... they were so white washed and safety based, that we never got anywhere... They were just slightly more interesting than a reading class...
Love this yelp review of you, says it all - Welcome to bizarre insanity. The founder of this place made a book about himself where he says his greatest influences are Conan the Barbarian and Jesus Christ. He walks around open carrying a .45 on premises, and rants and raves about conspiratorial political ideas in front of staff and customers. With only a few minute conversation you will find that he is delusional about what his company actually is, which is very specialized knives that are massively over priced. Terrible. Just terrible.
Everybody has an opinion, and from the way this "review" is worded it sounds like it's not worth much. Obviously they're not a fan of the second amendment, and they apparently even have a problem with him carrying on his own property... Judging from the context and wording, it sounds as if this reviewer is mostly driven by their emotions and probably overindulges in mainstream media. They also probably enjoy a good daily dose of virtue-signaling and think way too highly on their own opinions. There, that's my review of that reviewer; how much is it worth to ya?

Hope you enjoyed it! My assistant, Jason, is a big fan of Max Normal (and who also happens to answer comments).
I like the clever use of "Hammer to Fall" while you are operating the hammer machine. lol
Beautifull process Murray....
今日テレビでカーターさんを見ました＠＠
１７代目を継承していたことには、驚きました！！
Wish you continued success and prosperity from japan
At current prices: $1.16/mm. Thanks for the comment!
under and hour 🤨 That would be a couple days for me.
Amazing, as always.

What a great video!!!!!! Love it!!!!
Awesome murray!!!

Awesome work.....are those Superman gloves?? ....u get Soo close the the red hot metal
Okey, that was very instructive!
can you go into further detail of your tempering, how should the droplets dance?

hi muray how do you make the iron fillings ? with a file or there is another fastest way?
thanks for sharing
Do you keep your stones always soaked in water so they are always ready for use?
...oh and is borax ,boric acid adn iron filings are in equal parts in the flux?
You are true master sir, i'm subscribed. Did i hear you well, you trained knife making in Japan?
How much would a blade like that go for from you?
how long would it take to shape without the power hammer?
Excellent video. Must interesting and good information. Thank you for posting it. :-)
I want one.....NOW!
Hey Murray, quick question for you. What is the best way to straighten a blade after it has been heat treated and tempered? When heat treating thin kitchen knives I almost always get a small warp that needs to be corrected.
Aperture Knives you can clamp the blade against a piece of flat bar and then temper it in the oven the warp should straiten out
Did all of those processes that under a hour ??

how much percent carbon are your blades? Carter Sensei
Hey Murray, just out of curiosity, how long does it actually take you to make a knife like this?
18:18
What are the background artists? I swear at one point I hear a variation of Queen's We Are The Champions
It's fine to leave synthetic stones in the water.
👍👍
carter is a bad ass
Carter Sensei, can you make swords, or is that a differant type of bladesmithing?
arigato.
Wild!
Can't make many knives that way. Show us the real facility.
Makes it look easy, but im sure its not.
...But the two classes... they were so white washed and safety based, that we never got anywhere... They were just slightly more interesting than a reading class...
I was focuses on the smithing demo that I didn't noticed the....lack of eye protection.
