Thank you all for watching the video. Let me know what you like best? Making knives from old scrap metal or making knives from wootz steel ? Thank you for your comments, and don't forget to like the video.

[@lawrence500]

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful craftsmanship!
What did you put on the knife to slow down the hardening and achieve this hamon?
Greetings!

[@User367-m9q]

Of cours wootz steel! 👍🤝

[@fz-makingknives3663]

This is a fireproof sealant for fireplaces.

[@matthewkrahn5890]

I like the wootz.

[@zasd210]

Glory to Ukraine!

[@alexanderlvt]

Wow that turned out great. So pleasing to watch how your hard work turns seemingly useless things into a piece of art. Thx

[@golf-n-guns]

Work of art. Spring steel is an excellent knife material.

[@saudaziz6097]

So far the best forging knife I have seen out of hundreds. 👍👍

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@DireWolfForge]

Beautiful! I like both styles of blade making… scrap steel and Wootz. Keep up the amazing work, we appreciate it all.

[@texaswader]

You did a really good job on that; that's art.

[@tnxstaff]

Man, you deserve more than 1.000.000 sub! Another MASTERPIECE!

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

[@earl81ful]

Awesome Job! Love seeing great craftsmanship, hard to find these days!

[@steampunkster2023]

I like this. And the hamon on it is so cool! Never get a tanto without that on the blade.

[@leonjones7487]

Another masterful knife FZ

[@danielstellmon5330]

The mosaic pin in the handle was a nice touch. Over all I prefer the wootz steel as you are the only youtuber that I can find who does that regularly.

[@mftmachining]

I prefer the Wootz, but everything you make is outstanding good. TOP.

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks

[@vinceianni4026]

[@azlanameer4912]

The Japanese craftsmen are like gods ... creators. Matchless ❤

[@shanehiggins3033]

Love the scabbard/ handle match. Very clean, attractive.
A 45 degree on the pointed end might have suited me more but I'm nit picking.
Another master build bro.
Nicely done

[@areehsherpa7877]

[@Fa11inglightofficial]

[@matthewdancik5515]

Another masterpiece! I saw this one in your Etsy Store about a week ago... It's pretty neat to be able to watch the process of how it came to be in this video. One of these days, when I have a bit of extra money in my budget I will be adding one of your amazing pieces into my collection. You are a true master of your craft!

[@digitalimager4946]

[@jam2190]

Yeah, it's nice to see a different style of making knives!!! Scrap or wootz whichever gets the forge on fire!!!!

[@sbkpeace.24]

Just for having a guard on the grinder deserves a like 👍 nice work

[@AdamHowardTravelerdawg]

Wow, this is amazing! Easily worthy of being a Forged in Fire contest!

[@stretchhfab7315]

Your high. He reshaped spring steel. No hardening required. Hid foraging was more just reshaping then anything else. The real deal guys make there own billet.

[@AdamHowardTravelerdawg]

@@stretchhfab7315 thanks for clearing that up, whew, glad you were here to let me know how silly I am for that comment I made!

[@azamatbagatov973]

Great video, it was a masterpiece, it was a pleasure watching.

[@lairdcummings9092]

Lovely. The fit and finish are amazing!

[@lairdcummings9092]

Wootz, scrap industrial metal... Either will do very nicely, though I have to confess the Wootz steel is ever-so-slightly more favorite.

[@anamitradasgupta2608]

This inspires awe. Thank you for sharing.

[@JamalGood-l1r]

Absolutely outstanding!
