Of all the knives I’ve seen this is truly the one I would most want. I’m old and can’t afford much but if I had the money I would surely buy one just like that one!👍👍👍👍👍
I love that bold pattern! The more bold random patterns are so much more eye catching for me. I need to get back in my shop/barn and forge something. It's just been too hot in TN.
That knife is absolutely stunning 😮 this is similar to what my face looked liked at the end of the video When it comes to knife and blade content on UA-cam you are legend! Great work Elijah ! 👊
Wicked pattern! Not sure what brand that trowel was but I’m pretty sure the Marshalltown brand was a hardened steel. My brother was a commercial brick and block layer his whole adult life and trowels were his favorite tool. No kidding I watched him use them as knives and machetes when needed, cutting whatever needed it on the job-site. He would cut the steel band on pallets of brick and never had an edge deformation. Seeing you turn one into a beautiful knife brought back some memories! Thanks for the videos
Was a pleasure meeting you and your family today at the market. I apparently have followed your channel for a while and didn’t even put 2 and 2 together. I hope to purchase a few more knives from you soon. Best wishes!
Great knife as always, Elijah. Can you make a video using this technique, I used for the Canadian nickel coins. Using a canister and magnets. Put the nickel patterned pieces in place, with the magnets holding them. Fill the canister with steel and powder. Make a blade. Use star and half moons, Xmas trees or whatever you fancy.
Thats a real beast of a blade, i wondered if you knew what you were doing when you clipped the front with the Grinder but at every step you have impressed.👍🇬🇧
Cool build. Another nice, silent video. I am a big fan of you making silent videos as well as ones with talking and ones with hardcore metallurgy. That mix is very pleasant to watch. 👍☀️👍.
I liked it, firstly, you didn't show the welding arc, secondly, I thought you were having unnecessary fun cutting and forging good steel, but an interesting pattern came out, and thirdly, and most importantly, you created a solid piece of knife. Realy god job
Love it , came out great , the pattern is awesome. Wish I could send you my old stuff and make me a knife like that. Let me know if you would be interested
Having all of the power equipment is far easier to make knives out of steel that you turn into damascus than if you try to hand forged with a hammer and muscle.
@@PaulGriffin-ox1gp very true, and like most guys I started out with nothing. By nothing I mean a file and a hacksaw. But you know, you work at it and build up and what do you know 20 years later you've got some equipment.
Another awesome piece Elijah! I noticed you added a lot of badging to your equipment. Are there people trying to steal your content? Anyway thanks again for sharing!
You just gotta flex that you have a press….using it for stuff is regular joes have to do by hand like breaking old handles. KIDDING. Great work per usual
Great looking knife as always. I’m curious, do you know what kind of steel you have when using scraps etc, or can you tell the quality by working with it? Also, I’m certain I heard you say last year that you were moving back to Idaho. Is that a thing. Or did I dream that lol?
I don't have a way to tell for sure what kind of steel, but that's partly why I put it in the body of the blade and not the edge, so it's not as important. I expect it's some kind of medium carbon steel. We did have plans to move, but those plans changed for the time being.
My dad made trowels. He worked in poll finishing doing marcite work. He needed sharp, thin, flexible high quality trowels so he made his own forge and made his own trowels. These were the rounded top and bottom model. All different lengths. He pounded them out, then ground them down, used an apparatus to get the right edge profile. They were wicked sharp too. One of his trowels was used in a self defense case when some crazy neighbor attacked guy that worked for another pool finishing company and all he has to defend himself against this guy weilding a machete and a hatchet was a trowel and a hawk as a shield. So he did and sliced the guy up and then slit his jugular. He lived. Needed 3 surgeries and 123 stitches and the pool finishing guy got cut once
1 thing about being in West Texas when it gets hot in the shop, just step outside and enjoy the wind.
Thank you Sir for this beautiful work.
@@dirtfarmer7472 true. Thanks for watching
Nice knife but you broke my heart tearing up that Estwing hammer. Those are the best
That's a pretty badass handlesmoosher you got there bud ! Lol
Of all the knives I’ve seen this is truly the one I would most want. I’m old and can’t afford much but if I had the money I would surely buy one just like that one!👍👍👍👍👍
It's definitely one of your best. I'd be proud if that was my work.
Thanks a bunch
Beautiful knife, I love the use of reclaimed steel and a raw chunk of wood! Greatness isn’t always expensive 👍
Thanks man
Incredibly gorgeous! Chopping manzanita is no joke…that wood is HARD! Happy Independence Day, sir!
I love that bold pattern! The more bold random patterns are so much more eye catching for me.
I need to get back in my shop/barn and forge something. It's just been too hot in TN.
Clearly, twisting the billet added serious differentiation between the steels. Beautiful.
This knife is beautiful in concept and form.
Thank you!
I've seen you struggle with forge welding in the past but this sir, is a win. Blade looks amazing.
These are the videos I like not a lot of talking strate to the point good job sir

You have some serious skills. Great looking pattern
very cool oceanic pattern and very choppy, Awesome piece ...I was surprised at how floppy the trowel went, wasn't expecting that lol

That Blade sir is Fire !!!

Beautiful!
Thats a real beast of a blade, i wondered if you knew what you were doing when you clipped the front with the Grinder but at every step you have impressed.👍🇬🇧
Thank you. Yes sir, that clipping or cutting of the end of the billet is an old pre-form technique
sweet knife ,
Thanks!!
Well done sir
Super nice!

It's beautiful!
Dude! That is sweet!!
excellent
quality finish brother
Lovely
Liking this a lot !
beautiful blade
SPLENDID
Thank you
Sweet Blade Man
Beautiful blade.. missed an opportunity though, should've made the scales out of the wood you was whittling on
Thought about it, but I don't know how seasoned it is yet, can't risk shrinkage on the handle scales.
Extremely cool.
Love the Bible Thinker cameo there.
That’s pretty.
Love it!
Сделано очень хорошо! Прекрасная работа!
Awesome!!!
always so cool

Thank you! There was some foreign channels ripping off my content a while ago, yes.
@@FireCreekForge that sticks that there are so many dishonest people!
It appears you have a new forge. Stay safe.
Oh man well done what a masterpiece…Tony uk
Very very awesome knife 😎🦾
Keeper!
The towel can be made into a Chinquedea dagger!
You just gotta flex that you have a press….using it for stuff is regular joes have to do by hand like breaking old handles. KIDDING. Great work per usual
Incredible blade my friend. Also I really dig your bracelet. How can I get my hands on one? 🙏🏻🤙🏻
@@Brighter0129 thank you! I purchased the copper bracelet, but don't remember the brand
Extra points for handle removal.
That hammer took a lot of punishment before being willing to be reshaped
Hey what are u dipping the billet into before forging?
Oh and thanks for your content. This channel is one of my favs :)
Thanks I appreciate it! That is diesel that I put the bullets in before forge welding
Thank you :)
Pretty cool guy
@@elvispusley3515 thank you sir
Glad to see it's cooler down there than here in southern Oklahoma. Impressive build.
