  • Today I'm finishing the second knife for my fathers 60th birthday. He built and gifted me the heat treatment / casting oven, so I wanted to make a special set for him using the oven.

    What else should I make a handle out of? 🤔

    That came out wonderfully, I really love how angry the fishy ended up looking. Also that Kydex leather combination is brilliant. I think I'm going to steal that idea for a custom holster for a pistol that I own that's been a royal pain to find a reasonably priced off the shelf one for, thanks.

    Nice knife and I love your editing. tbh i find the eagle to look a little bit goofy, i think it would look better with rougher edges (it had more character right after belt grinding). But i really dig the fish, the whole knife has really balanced, pleasant to look at shape. I kinda liked how the fish looked straight out of the mold though, with all of the metal "imperfections". I wonder if its possible to preserve at least some of this look while cleaning up. Im an artist so im a little bit picky, dont take the criticism too seriously. You're doing awesome work.

    • @redbark823
      @redbark823 Рік тому

      at 6:40, there was a nice contrast between the rough and the polished part, something like that would be cool (the all shiny look does work for the fish tho)

    • @NjordArtisan
      @NjordArtisan  Рік тому +1

      Hey no worries, I’m always open to criticism when it’s politely put like you did
      I totally get what you mean, I also think the eagle looks a bit odd because the beak ended up being way too big because of all the regrinding I did. But it was also a balance between what looks good and feels right in the hand. A smaller beak would’ve left the sharp tip right where your pinky should be so I decided to go with comfortability over looks.
      And I’m also right with you on the look of the freshly casted scales. I actually wanted to keep it like that but they ended up being absurdly heavy so I had to grind them down as well.
      Maybe I’ll file the wooden scales down and try to cast them again
      Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🙌

    It looks fantastic! Your creativity knows no bounds :D
    One quick thing though, you said it's a fishing knife, did you mean filleting knife or just general use fishing knife? Just curious because filleting knifes are usually somewhat thin bendy to allow efficient use. None the less it looks beautiful
