Wow, really fine work. I’ve often thought about the notion that craftsmanship from the past was superior to many fine hand made things today. With modern improvements in metallurgical processing and materials, in the hands of a skilled artist I believe that in the future people will marvel at the fine pieces hand crafted today. Congrats on creating a fine eye popping beauty, that will be appreciated for centuries. . (I really want to have one, but it belongs in a museum of art display rather than me using it to remove the innards from big game animals or cutting steak at the hunt camp supper table).
@@peterparsons7141 what a spectacular comment, thank you for this. I agree, with a ballance of hand tools and machine tools i think some excellent work can be achieved, and I think that the possibilities with modern tools can be very intriguing to the maker and viewer!
Now that is a beautiful knife. The attention to detail is like nothing I have ever seen. I would love to learn how to forge from this guy. Everything is done to perfection.
WOW!!! Just.. WOW!!! What an absolute BEAUTY!!! You did so many small things with the design, and I questioned the reason at fist... but once you finished it I totally understood the purpose and marveled in its elegance and beauty! BY FAR you are my FAVORITE KNIFE MAKER!! You are precise, methodical, careful, and patient.... which is NOT what you picture when thinking of FORGING STEEL INTO A WEAPON! lol
I am almost lost for words!! The knife is absolutely stunning and I'm so impressed with well you are able to explain everything very simply and effectively. Love the knife and the video!
I already commented but came back to watch this video again, you are a truly talented knife maker and video maker, the quality of production is really well done and you have just secured your spot as one of my favorite knifeming youtubers, keep it up man I can't wait for the next build video!!
It's obvious that you've been doing this for a while. You're very methodical and calculated in everything you do and it pays off in the finished product! Very nice work!
Hope you don’t mind a tip/suggestion. Use Overhead Protector/ Acetate sheets or even clear report covers(like we use to use in school) for handle slab templates. Since they are clear you can get a better idea of where the best figure is in the material you are using. Learned this many years ago from a wooden box maker who did this in figuring out how the wood pattern of his boxes he was building. Works great for knife handles too.
@@Triumph2727 no worry with nickel on the edge, there have been extensive studies done on the effect of nickel on the edge, more recently by Doctor Larrin Thomas in 2023. As for the chromium content of AEB-L, it is around 12%, the manganese content in metal is what allows the steel to darken.
Your tool collection eliminates so much work with precision. I was told the only difference between a Bowie and a San Fran Bowie is it's lighter, smaller, and fancier. That's probably not true.
@@AndyFromBeaverton I suppose the San Francisco(name) style is mostly because of the knives that were made by the Will &Finck, and the Michael Price shops. The term took off quite soon as these knives were made in the 1850s!
But that's too much, the most people dont like see the hold work and every little complicated step that you do, they wont to see the finish line product.

Get yourself a set of auto body hammers for the sheet metal work. Nice job.

I just saw this posted to Instagram and wondered how someone makes something like this... And now I can find out!
@@prairieironandleather hey that's do good to hear! Did you enjoy viewing the process?
@ sure did. Added some cool old tools to me wishlist for the shop. That pantograph is kinda like old CNC hahaha
@@prairieironandleather yes exactly! Almost like the precursor of the CNC Machine!
Masterful!
Beautiful!

Unique that's for sure😅

This is one of, if not the best, videos on UA-cam for showing an in depth build. What are the dimensions on a San Francisco Bowie?
Thank you very much my friend! The original SF bowies varried in size, but this one has a 4¼" blade and 4¼" handle.
Thanks for the info on the knife dimensions Jacco. Hope to keep seeing more from you on here. I’ve followed your IG for a long time.
New sub! Wow😮 beautiful
Thank you my friend!!!
Wonderful- I just wish it had a convex grind
@@MethodMobile thank you! Amy particular reason?
Preference -Uniqueness and esthetics
I think it has something to do with how light reflects off the curved surface
O-M-G 🔥
Somebody have a lot of time to make this complicated things!
@@WAR_OF_ENTROPY I make time to do it, haha it does take very long!
My Respectation!
AEB-L and Nickel? How does that contrast work? I can’t wrap my head around it!
A strong enough acid will eat the stainless! The nickel remains untouched!
@@jvbknivesI know but with the chromium content l, is there an acid that turns stainless dark? Also Id be worried about the nickel on the edge.
@@Triumph2727 no worry with nickel on the edge, there have been extensive studies done on the effect of nickel on the edge, more recently by Doctor Larrin Thomas in 2023.
As for the chromium content of AEB-L, it is around 12%, the manganese content in metal is what allows the steel to darken.
And AEB-L has a high Manganese content, therefore it has a dark etch result.
Make a knife with stainless titanium nickel and last copper twisted reverse stacked
Only if it's allowed to have a minigun mounted to the handle also.
Pie cutting test at the end? 😂
Opportunity missed!!!
❤
35:33 Gator piss? Is that just a name you call some type of chemical solution or is it literally gator piss?
@@bonibroco1076 ah yes it is a product. Odd name but works well to darken tge AEB-L.

5000 dollar knife
But that's too much, the most people dont like see the hold work and every little complicated step that you do, they wont to see the finish line product.
I make these videos for my customers and for other knifemakers to see. It's a good learning opportunity for people!
I Like every tiny step because i want to know how these things are done. Awesome Video!
This would be a much better video with no talking.
You can see my first video for a video without me talking.
