Thank you for doing this for vets
I’ve watched this about 40 times and love how it comes together every single time
If you set a block of wood under your handle so the part right under where the hole will be while you drill you have much less chance of tear out on your hole. Love the knife!
That file work did come out nicely.
Thank you John for all vets. Nice work. Semper fi
that handle is clean
Very nice craftsmanship on the whole thing
Cool, you’re filing a file with a file. Fileception!
That is a beautiful blade, you bring a handful those to the Ohio Renaissance Festival, I guarantee you they will sell fast.
One of my brothers got his four leg partner from paws of war. Ninja has saved his life and his family. Thanks for sending the cash that way and you are a heck of a craftsman
beautiful dirk
That is a nice looking dirk
Dude! That tip about how to avoid the dreaded fish mouth was a GAME changer! I tried it today on a paring knife I started and it works like a charm. Big thanks!!!
Beautiful Brother!
VERY VERY NICE, COMPLIMENTI VIVISSIMI DALL' ITALIA, RISULTATO FINALE ECCEZIONALE ..........10+++ .
Always I give respect for Veterans Sir.
Thanks for the teaching,Sir
Love your work
The knife is sold!
Old Hickory Forge Glad I caught this one before someone else snagged it:)
Thank you for your support! Yeah these charity knives seem to go quick.
@@OldHickoryForge thats awesome it sold already! Good job sirSir. Blessed days and prosparity, Crawford out
Hey John, make sure you get enough wood glue on that puppy next time, no need to skimp.
That is amazing!
That was a great knife
Thats beautiful work lad, fair play to ya!!
Thank you for your work for Vets.

Frikkin badass!!!
Nice looking knife. I enjoyed the video.
Speaking as a scottish man that is an awesome Dirk. So Skillfully crafted. It's really inspired me to give it a try, thankyou.
Shame I can never meet you at the meetings your always surrounded by people. Love your work man
bret354 what meetings? I haven’t been to an ABANA meeting in months haha.
really nice work
Beautiful
Very nice work, out done youeself thistime. We are glad you stepped out of your comfort zone...it works well for you
Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
P.S. you know thats how it starts...1st the file work ... then the etching...then the engraving...the youll start setting stones! Weve seen it w Alec Steele. Lmbo
You're a good guy donating to charity like that. Good for you
Warriors Way out oh Lima OH!!! We’d love to have you come up and teach a veterans class!
Werry nice blade ever
Beautiful build for a fantastic cause. Shared it everywhere for ya.
Good work
That’s a thing of beauty. Also educational to me to watch you work.
That file work is beautiful. Way better than some saw back for sure
Nice work
Thanks for responding to me, most people don't. You and Josh Weston are the only ones to respond....so much thanks. Love your charity cause as well, my Dad was a Veteran and I work with dogs in a day care and we take in foster dogs and some from the humane society when they are too full. I make walking sticks and wooden pipes, stuff like that. I want to learn to make blades but there are no classes close to here so you tube it is for now.
I saw you on forged in fire and that spear was sick.
Great master
Bellissimo!!! Complimenti ottimo lavoro. Bravo.
Nice work, I Just started watching your vids and you are talented for sure. Couple of hints as a long time wood worker. One, to much glue is not your friend, it can actually weaken the joint. Use a brush and put a thin coat on both sides of the Joint then clamp.
Two, when trying to chisel a channel like that put the chisel bevel against the wood. Its easier to control. If your chisel is sharp you should be able to push It with your hands and not need a hammer, even in hard woods.
Nice. I had some crafsman telling me I'm silly for doing things the way I do. I made a cribbage board once with only hand tools, cause I could and I felt like more of me was part of the board.
The more love you put into something the people who matter can tell.
This was a fun build to watch. Good vibes too. Awesome filework for your first try.
Wonderful
Well done, really excellent. 👍👍
Crazy good work mate! Much love!
Really nice blade shape, I like that you did a false edge, and that filework was really cool.
How can this even have a single dislike?
That’s a beautiful piece man and a great cause I think is so awesome that you give to charity and help out a lot of people and even can contribute to saving lives forge on man!
Really nice filework, especially for a first timer. I usually go with a traditional scalloping on my scottish themed knives
That does sound like a good organization. Good job and good on you man.
easy way to fix warps is to clamp to straight steel and temper in oven like you did, but pull it out after about an hour while its still hot run cold water on it while its still clamped up, then put it back in the oven for another hour
Great build,John! That came out beautiful!! Thanks for your charity work!
Love the look of this one
Awesome
Hermoso trabajo
That file work was legit!
Very first to watch your video your work is awesome excellent video quality as always
Very nice job sir!!!👍 Love watching ya work... I’ve learned a lot from your videos!! The fact that you pick such great charities makes me want to do the same!! Thank you for doing that and putting out such great videos 🙏
Great Smith. Great guy. So helpful and deliberate with with hows and whys during your videos. Always a delight to catch a new video! Keep up the good work!!
dude that is freakin awesome! nice man ;)
That came out very nice! I always enjoy your video's, but I really like the charity builds.
Good thing you called out the pointy end. That could have ended poorly....
That is quite pretty.. very nice filework
John, brother files only cut on the push stroke. That dragging back will only dull your files. Gunsmiths are harsh about reminding people about it at times.
I'm a bladesmith myself, but before I made blades I studied gunsmithing. Otherwise beautiful blade.
Wow nice work, looks great. Camera views are on point. I like how well the metal was moving on the tang. 👍
To help prevent warp make sure to quench the blade with the tip facing north.
Great job and another very worthy cause!
Amazing, love it!!
beautiful work. it's a great thing your doing for charity.
Beautiful build
I Always enjoy seeing your work on here. Great job!
Very nice John. I learned a lot. I really appreciate the charity idea too. Keep up good work.
Love this build
Wow beautiful!!
John, this is my favorite of all your builds thus far!!! Being of Scottish heritage, I need to make one now! Thanks for all you do!! Happy New Year good Sir🎉🎊
Muy lindo trabajo sr
I made a Scottish Dirk out a 1975 Ford truck leaf spring and made the Sqian Dhun out of the leaf spring also
Awesome work man, like always
Super nice build John! Love the file work, really makes it great! Looking forward to seeing that again!
another great video John
When I harden a knife I use a inch thick of metal and clamp another piece of metal on top and I get really straight blades
that is sick john awesome job
Great charity, solid build looks great love filework
Great job big guy!
Nice work John
Wauw, this is one of your finest! I like the info/tips you give on issues or challenges.
Thanks.
Wickedly nice knife, good job!
Great looking knife!
Beautiful Knife!
Really nice job on that one John. Take care.
Great looking knife. Keep up the great work.
Really nice work. I liked it.
Nice job, Sir.
Awesome video. Knife looks beaitiful
Nice
What a knife!! Hope you made lots of $$ on it. Good cause.
Lovely looking knife, not a dirk but check out the 16th century Baumwehr daggers called “rugers” they were Around for about 100 years in Germanic countries as a fighting/work knife. I think you just reinvented it!!!
