    For people ,who have never forged a blade in their life, and are just users'collectors. Guys, this is how you properly make a knife! I've seen both in person and on UA-cam videos, some of the best makers in the world. So,it's not just my opinion from my personal experience and knowledge, I've seen and I've spoken with hundreds of makers.
    Do not get excited, with all that marketing nowdays, which makes you believe, that a good knife, is one made of the highest technology power metallurgy steel. It's what this makers does, that makes a perfect knife!!!
    Those details, like the amount of water he uses while grinding to avoid overheating the steel and so many other details, are what maters the most. Geometry and heat treatment, are also more important, than steel itself is.
    In the same time, I bet his blades, hold their edge as a Vanadis 4 Extra does, while in the same time, they have some of the best, if not THE best edge stabiliity you can have on a blade.

    I like the fact that blacksmiths have technical terms like 'Goo.' As a geologist I once described the vein we were looking at as 'squiggly' and was asked if that was a true geological term. I assured the investor that it was. 😂

      (to @rockbutcher) As an engineer, (civil) who worked in gold and silver mines, I also chided the geologists (irreverently referred to as "pebble fairies") for making predictions about minerals drilled out hundreds of feet below surface. And then, even more mysterious are the geologists who expound about Martian geology and even geology of other stars and planets. I mean, how TF do they do that?

      I had an MRI on my back and had two vertabrae
      out of alignment.
      I told my PCP I had two vertebrae out of whack.
      He asked if that was a medical term and I told
      him it could be.

    Every time they do canister Damascus on "Forged in Fire" I'm always marveling that nobody takes the can and puts it on top of any machine that vibrates, so as to get the powder to settle. But bringing the sawzall to the cannister? Next level!!!!

    We became big fans of forging from watching Forged in Fire - and now search out the topis on UA-cam. Just found your channel. That feather pattern damascus is amazing and my husband now wants a "steak knife" made with that pattern. Will keep an eye on your website for something suitable!
