why would anyone give this talented young guy a thumbs down??? crazy people in this world! nice to see a young fellow crafting when so many are lazy and sit and play video games all day! ...this is an absolutely stunning knife!!!!
It is truly incredible to be able to watch some of your past videos and realize how much you have matured as a craftsman! The work you exhibited in this video is absolutely phenomenal. Kudos! keep up the good work
I have been a life-long fan of being mindful when paying attention to whatever task one is engaged in. I have admired and envied the craftsmanship of Japanese wood-workers and knife makers. You have earned my greatest respect for attention to details and for achieving outstanding results. I am deeply impressed. When I hit the lottery I'm going to chase you down for some custom work! Every component is stunning in design and execution. For the first time in a long time I am awe inspired! Love the shop, the sander and your endurance. I am humbled, a bit jealous, and wish you happiness in pursuit of your passion. The knives I have seen you make are multi-generation treasures that hopefully motivate users to master their knife skills and to respect the bladesmith by honoring the blade. Best wishes for continued success.
Hey, man. Just a little tip that I thought I'd share with you; I get some incredible results with coffee darkening by letting it soak in the strong coffee for 24 hours. After I soak it I take the blade and go straight into boiling water for 15 minutes, without wiping off any of the oxides before hand. I get jet black finishes that are super durable that way. For some reason, at least in my experience, applying a consistent heat makes the black oxide even more durable. So you can use kydex sheaths instead of leather without having to worry about scratching. I hope this information helps! Beautiful knife btw!
This is beautiful work man, you can tell you really care about making it the best you can. The reason why a good quality knife can easily run you 300$+, major difference between this and the 60$ factory pumped garbage in the outdoor section of Walmart. Thank you for that drill bit tip to avoid deflection.
Ein sehr schönes Messer! Fast zu schade für den harten Einsatz obwohl es mit Sicherheit gut dafür geeignet ist. Das Stück ist ein Beweis dafür, dass jemand, der sein Handwerk liebt, schon in jungen Jahren außerordentliche Qualität erreichen kann. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A very beautiful knife! Just a thought - the damascus is also in the metal hidden inside the handle. If a handle is made with a slit in the side, it will also be possible to see this damascus. A transparent handle, cast in epoxy, will be ideal to see the 'hidden damascus.' Just a thought.
What makes the folding of the metal paterns come to life? is it the polishing? or a quemical treatment? and if is the polishing, after wich grain the patterns starts to show up?
does the shape of the wooden part of the handle have a name? I like that style and should I ever get a hand made knife I would like to be able to ask for that.
Aún sin ser un experto, debo suponer que será mas económico adelgazar el materia a forja, y cortar a medida, que no dejarlo tan grueso, y después tirarme un par de horas a base de lijadora de banda. Me pareció un verdadero derroche.

That was beautiful. Pretty cool seeing you use tricks that Kyle Royer uses. To say he does amazing work also is an understatement.
Truly amazing build! Very nice sir!
Beautiful knife. Love how you use coffee to accentuate the Damascus pattern.
Nothing better than Iron wood I love it
Thank you so much for not stabilizing the wood! Wax and oil is what the wood wants. Well done !
Man you did your thing on this one. It looks amazing!
Thats one of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen. Bet it feels good in the hand.
thanks
Great job, beautiful knife!
Thanks

Absolutely epic knife!

Beautiful knife you made there
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Nice tip with the drill bit I’ll remember that one ☝️
Ein absolutes Kunstwerk!! 👍👍
Speechless!
Очень шикарный клинок! Больстер вообще очень классно стал к рукояти!
Один только вопрос, зачем лезвие пол часа держать в кофе?
A very beautiful knife! Just a thought - the damascus is also in the metal hidden inside the handle. If a handle is made with a slit in the side, it will also be possible to see this damascus. A transparent handle, cast in epoxy, will be ideal to see the 'hidden damascus.' Just a thought.
Andre Pienaar thanks - yeah that would be possible.
About how much would I be expecting to spend in equipment and tools to start forging blades like this?
Класс, настоящий мастер, золотые руки! Респект!
beautiful!!
It’s a most beautiful knife

I watch a lot of knife making videos. This is the coolest knife I’ve ever seen. Good job buddy.
One of the best I've seen. 👍
Perfect.👏
Well, that turned out great in the end.
Very nice. Kyle Royer does several acid dips and dark coffee like 24hrs. They come out darker and almost look polished. Anyways, Good work.

Грамотно и профессионально.
I was ok till I saw the milling machine. you could make the whole kife with it.
Excellent.
what is this oil joe
this turned out great, im really sad to see that delam that popped up after the etch though
Does it not hurt having to sell such a masterpiece
does the shape of the wooden part of the handle have a name? I like that style and should I ever get a hand made knife I would like to be able to ask for that.
I’m sure it has a name, but I don’t know what it is called sorry
Muy bonito genial y dónde puedo conseguir uno
Please, tell me-how much Time does it take to make this beauty??
Великолепная работа. Привет Вам из Чечни!
Very nice
You did the excellent work, I like every pattern after etching, very smooth. Good job, bro.
This is too good .nice work Joe .hay Joe will you make this knife for me please will you post for me please.
does instant coffee do anything regular drip coffee would not? Why Instant coffee specifically?
I actually don’t know, but I think it is because you can make very strong Solutions with instant coffee
Great job ... 👏👏
Albert BM
thanks
I have a question.Why you put it in the coffee？what’s the coffee used for?
To darken the 1095 in the Damascus. The dark accents get even darker from the coffee
Well done
Can I ask you?
Why did you do the guard on this knife?
Is it realy necessary?
I like the look. And it’s more comfortable
Aún sin ser un experto, debo suponer que será mas económico adelgazar el materia a forja, y cortar a medida, que no dejarlo tan grueso, y después tirarme un par de horas a base de lijadora de banda. Me pareció un verdadero derroche.
you got the knife CHINGON CARNAL excellent video. greetings from mexico puebla👍👍👍😋✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻😎
Thanks
Danke schön,Joe! Weiter so! Mit freundlichem Gruß&besten Wünschen aus Deutschland!
How many days is this process from start to finish?
