Hope y’all enjoyed the video! If you want to check out more of my work, you can go to my website www.Jhublades.com or follow me on Instagram @jhublades
Let me know what kind of project you wanna see me undertake in the future in the replies as well :D
You're really gifted ...that's a really beautiful knife 👌
An amazing work right, I really enjoy every process, for that can you make a typical Indonesian machete, to be precise the West Javanese machete
It's amazing to see you work. I just imagine how blades/sword were made prior industrial periode,😊
Your welding is good enough to do the job. Why don't you use a saturated borax solution insead of the quenching oil to ensure forge welding in the beginning? It would penetrate the layers better and you have use borax later anyway.
Hi can you please make me a slating hammer I’ve been dying to get someone to make one for me 🙏🏻
it's cool seeing a new blacksmithing youtuber start out with so much talent
I’m honored🙏
Full of bs too , who pays 2000$ for That knife
@@yngdryas8681 people pay over 30k for a sword
@@JBProductions04 lol @yngdryas8681 is obviously a troll that doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
@@Thigh-highsHe's the kind of person who wants a brand new Lambo for 7500$ 🤡
You have no idea how long i wanted to see a youtuber like you, someone who explains everything he does, and you do it well. Keep it up
I’m glad I filled the void😅, I’ll do my best to keep creating these videos
and he doesn't beg you to subscribe, rather encourages you to consider.. when I saw that i immediately subbed lol
I second this. Seeing is half the picture. Understanding is my cup of tea.
Agreed. The commentary is very detailed. I love this.
Alec Steele does that lol
I'm a woodworker/bowyer, But I respect your craftsmanship so much. One of my favorite new channels.
He always talk what he ist doing good and talk why he doing not do good things he don’t do good 😂😂😂😂
Stunning - Working with a knife like that would be an honour for every chef.
I’m honored by your kind words, I’ll keep improving and doing what I do🙏
Until you cut off your fingers, super sharp knifes is not good.
@@alexandermalahov9602most retarded thing I’ve ever read 😂
@@alexandermalahov9602 Better than blunt.
@@alexandermalahov9602 I agree that a super sharp knife is dangerous. but one is aware that the blade is dangerous and pays close attention. while a dull knife or simply a bad knife makes the job more difficult and dangerous.. the first reason is that a dull knife can get out of hand even simply when cutting onions or aubergines. the second reason is that if one thinks that the knife is dull or that it can cause minor damage, he can cut himself or hurt himself more easily because he pays less attention. this is my opinion ( I’m chef )
I don’t know how this popped up but just watched the whole video and was mesmerized the whole time. So much skill and dedication to your craft and the end result was stunning , to say the least. Beautiful work!
Same, sometimes that UA-cam algorithm is just right. There's something that seems so personal with videos, like you're his buddy in his shop with him and you're getting a chance to watch someone do something awesome.
Same bro. So cool!
I can’t speak for others but the reason I enjoy watching videos like this, I love watching someone create something tangible out of nothing but raw materials and an idea. I understand the extreme amount of work and dedication this takes and I won’t lie, I have no desire to learn this skill. I love watching and admiring it
UA-cam algorithm got it right
Hahaha😂😂
I like your humility. You freely admit when you make mistakes, which is something I don't see a lot of UA-cam blacksmiths doing nearly enough. Kudos.
Young man Jesse, you are a godsend. I was getting bored with all of the silliness on UA-cam. I’m a beginning bladesmith with 50 plays years of welding & fabrication experience. I so appreciate you explaining. I had a career ending injury at work & I have 16 hours a day to watch UA-cam. When I heal, I’ll have a 4 year education from UA-cam. I might even be able to make a knife.
I love how clean you work. It does not have to mean that because you are a blacksmith you need to have your workspace messy and dirty. Very nice job!
Agreed! Sometimes it’s cool to have a messy shop to “prove” that you worked, but it just makes it all much harder
Gloves and leather apron would be safer, though.
That sander can take your hand off.
You can win 100 times, but it only takes once to lose everything.
Be safe.
This is incredible. The amount of precision and skill required in every single step of the process is unbelievable.
I like to see this kinds of videos the whole day, with people like you, showing passionate craftmanship, with a very beautiful result. I am ever impressed of such work!
I have watched countless blade forging/mfg videos and yours is by far the best. Your narration is spot on and with no fluff. Outstanding precision work. Your craftsmanship is second to none. Great job. Cheers!
Its probably the most beautiful knife i've seen. congrats for making such a masterpiece
Thank you!
I always though some knives were way too expensive but after watching some videos on how they are made i am impressed with the craftsmanship that goes into making these knives, very cool
I had to click when i read $2000 chef knife.
After watching for 30 minutes, ive gotta say, wow, masterful work. That piece is worth every penny , and more.
The fact that at the end of the video it was listed as "consider subscribing" rather then begging for it made me do so. Your work was beautiful, the production value was great. the fact you only have 7.5k subs is insane. I hope you get to a million brother.
I watched a 30min, without any break. this is next level content and talent.
I appreciate it greatly! More on the way!
Me too
the algorithm dont make mistakes
no clue how tis video came up on my feed but im glad it did. so much talent and communication of detail. never seen such a clean blacksmith workshop. this is inspiring i wish i can do what you do
Wow - this might be the best knife making video I've found so far. Great explanations!
Inspiring to witness such care, skill, passion, aesthetic discrimination, generosity all rolled into one video. Thanks!
great worksmanship. and love to see clean workshops
Loved the style of this video. Enjoyed watching the process and hearing your thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
You are not only a knife maker you are also an artist. Very beautiful work.
That knife is incredible! Nearly as impressive as seeing how much work you've put into it. Incredible.
This is bad ass! Never seen such a technical video about blade making. Your knowledge is incredible and a joy to watch. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you! I will try to deliver more good content👍
The transition part from blade to handle is what gets me most excited! well done
Found this on my recommended. I am so happy I watched the entire thing. No music in the background really makes it a homey type feel. Really enjoyed the video. Keep it up!
Im happy for you seeing all the supportive and interested comments even from people who never sought out this type of content, like myself. Great video. And yes you are an artist. Its incredible you kept so many attention spans with this video despite its length. Captivating stuff and i hope you continue with the videos. Wish you the best in this pursuit
Instant fan, immediate follower and THANK YOU for communicating every part of the process - the outcome is AMAZING AND I LEARNED THINGS??? THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO ME! 🙃👌♥️
I didn’t plan to watch this whole thing. Popped randomly in my feed and am glad. I love cooking so seeing your process for making knives I found quite fascinating! The video was well done, each phase was long enough but not too long so it moved along faster than expected.
Wow, wow, wow. What a skill, what attention to the detail, what patience, what passion! Amazing looking knife!
Beautiful blade, excellent craftsmanship 👍
I’m so glad this video got recommended to me. There is not enough well produced content from great bladesmiths. Keep up the good work dude! You’ve got my attention from here on!
incredible craftsmanship
1st time watching your channel. I must say I love how you go step by step on what your doing and tell us what your using and how your doing it. I'm subscribed now. Ty and keep up the amazing work!
Dude... Your mastery is freaking amazing!!!!!!
Nice work my man! I did my Integrals Just like you for a Long Time but i Switched up to bolt on screw handle constructions and the big advantage is That you dont Need a tang at all. You can Just Grind flat the back of your integral at 90degrees and Drill a hole for a m6 or m8 threaded bolt and then Just cut the thread. Safes a Ton of Time and helps me with the etching of my gomai and damascus because of the removable handle. Best Greetings from Shirknives 🙌🏽
Thanks! Oh shoot, I didn’t even realize that was an option😅, that does sound easier than the classic tang and carve a slot. Has the durability of the construction ever come into play?
Hey Jesse,
No worries Its super durable. Ive started with m8 but switched to m6 because Its More strong then Ever needed. Helps me a lot with the facettes of my knife without worrying about grinding into the Tang or what Not. You Can use loctite Strong for the end of the bolt in the Tang or 24h epoxy. Was a gamechanger for me and Even helps with less pattern distortion. A Good anneal is needed but Even drilling in Apex Ultra is no Problem. Hit me up if There Are questions
You are a true artisan. Great designs and workmanship
Insane Craft! Especially the blue handle and the textures on the steel!
Truly remarkable pieces of art but a fully functional blade. I cant lie. I am awe struck with how your blades turned out. Glad I subscribed
Thanks!! I’m also happy with how it turned out :D I think I may have accidentally reversed my steels though😅
Dude I can't believe it 🥰🥰🥰 I've actually found you 😂 I've seen you on Forged in Fire in the UK and absolutely loved it, especially watching you smash it. Me and the kids are big fans. Definitely going to be watching you all the time.🤩🤩🤩
Happy New Year mate 🤩🤩🤩
the knife looks really really good, simply perfect. Nice work !!!
It takes a lot of care and time. I respect your craftsmanship
Lovely work Jesse! That damascus pattern and handle look amazing! I'd love to see what you'd do with something like a twisted ladder pattern damascus in one of your knives.
Thank you! I might do that in a future build😏 stay tuned
Beautiful Damascus design amazing work. Can't wait to see more videos and projects soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making God bless.
Thank you🙏🙏, can’t wait to keep making videos and awesome knives
@@jhubladesfrom where can i buy this product? Do you ship internationally?
Bro i'm a passionate cook and knife lover, this is some high level content and dedication. i can watch these videos all day. keep up the great work!
Great video, and what a beautiful work of art! I enjoyed your commentary and honesty as well.
Jason knight would be able to give you more knowledge of knife making
His stuff is great, I talked to him at bladeshow this year as well👍
You earned yourself a new subscriber. Great work, looks like a work of art.
Glad to have ya, better stuff coming soon 👍
Ive seen alot of master smiths like Royer etc but seeing you starting out and producing quality work is amazing
Great build man! Love the shop. Mr. Hu knows what he's doing!
Thanks! I can say with certainty I know ~48% of what I’m doing😅, rest is just me flopping around
That knife is stunning dude.. Incredible job.
Thanks!!! I thought it looked pretty decent😅
@@jhublades it looks Amazing👍👍
That's a hell of a setup you've got there. Gorgeous knife 🔪 A samurai level of care, your gonna be busy every chef will want one of your knives including me!! Well done 👍
I have an RWL-34 Kiritsuke in the making and this video was extremely informative for the build! Thanks a lot! Definitely worth a subscribe!
Just started the video but I can tell it's going to be good. Keep up the good work Jesse!
Hehe hopefully it didn’t disappoint😈
That turned out beautifully amazing work
Thanks!
Thank you for explaining what you are doing and why 👏👏
I really like that nice thick grip, very comfortable and ergonomic. Congratulations on your project!
Became a instant fan of your work after your first appearance on Forged in fire. Love it!
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for watching👊
Dude!! You got some serious skill!! That knife is awesome!
Hehe thanks, I try my best😅
Great video, found myself watching your skill in working the various metals to make a beautiful knife
The facets on that handle were a joy to behold, the whole knife was sublime.
we need more people like you to conserve this art
Agreed, we can’t let this art form die🤝
Dude I talked to you at the blade show this year ATL, and enjoyed every minute of it. I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you so thank you very much. Watching you and Kyle Royer are by far my favorite entertainment!!
It will cut! Really enjoyed that, always a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work.
Very cool work, I think the blue handles were a great idea. :)
Thank you! I think it came out looking amazing
IT WAS AMAIZING I LOVE IT. CONGRATS.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!! Glad you enjoyed👍
Wow, that came out beautiful. Excellent work sir.
That's the most beautiful knife I've ever seen. I wouldn't change a thing. Wish I could handle it! Amazing job Sir!
Amazing Damascus knife and quality of the content. Forging is so entertaining and magnificent art. Maybe one day I'll try to make my own knife in a forge.
Thanks! It really is, I believe it’s one of the coolest art forms out there. You should definitely try, it’s a lot of fun.
Also, when using calipers, make sure you regularly calibrate them and watch out when you measure you're using the same part of the jaws to get measurements. You'll probably know, already, that if you use the very tips of the calipers you'll get a different measurement than if you use the meat of the jaws.
So beautiful, really impressive work!
That's one of the nicest knives I have ever seen and that final cut through the costco magazine, are you kidding me!! Insane. Please keep making these awesome videos
So sick work!!! Well done 👏
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Awesome work!👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!!
I watched this video my first time on your channel. I only had two minutes and stayed for the entire thing. You are a true craftsman and it was a privilege to watch you execute that craft. I hope to someday be able to afford one of these knives. Until then, I will come by and watch their genesis
This is very nice, you did the best work you can for recording and making the knife
first time ever watching a knife being made, that was awesome! Such a work of art.
Excellent knife and excellent commentary. You teach us this magic. :)
Thank you🙏 That’s the goal!
oh my god dude... i just cannot even express how happy i was watching this. seeing all that hard work pay off in such a beautiful was a treat. a hobby that i have no space and time for, but one day!
I've never seen a more beautiful knife before in my life. You had me on the edge of the seat smiling the whole time. Outstanding work. Liked, subscribed, and went to your channel. I wouldn't have guessed that you were just starting out on here. Told myself "this guy is going places!" Keep it up my guy.
Nice. I love how modern your equipment is and how organized you are. It feels like you have an engineering background.
🙏🙏I do have an engineering background! I’m currently studying EE at the University of Michigan
Would love to see you go up against ben abbot. Be very interesting!
Very talented, look forward to seeing more content.
I’d love to face him👍 Will have to see what the people in the shadows want for the show though.
Thanks for watching, I look forward to making more
That knife is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I LOVE the look of the bolster!! Damn, what i wouldn't give for a knife like that!!! Amazing job!!
The camera work on this video makes it feel like a movie, great video 🎉🎉
That's one sweet blade
Thanks man🙏🙏
Nice work..
Thanks man💪
I have the Coal Iron 25 ton and got the full width T dies. I ever so slightly ground the smaller side, top and bottom, a little rounded so they will draw out much less aggressively than the combo dies. Works great.
That knife is a better work of art than anything ive seen in a museum keep up the good work and i cant wait to see your new blades
Mark my words, in 1 year you will be the biggest blacksmith youtuber!
Great video. Just enough commentary without being too much. It’s wild you have less than 10k subs, you got another one from me. Good luck with the channel.
Thanks man, I had a hard time deciding when to put voiceovers and letting it play out on its own. Cheers
I just came across this and im blown away by this guys work! Chapeau🤝
I am so impressed by this video. The precision and simultaneous ease with which he works leave me speechless. To be honest, I am a bit envious of such talented individuals. Keep up the great work!
The knife is marriage material: it’s stunningly-gorgeous, mother approved, and it stays in the kitchen producing gourmet meals!
I watched the entire video, no breaks, like a National Geographic documentary. You had my attention the whole time.
Beautiful knife! Is it already sold?
Thanks! Yes this one was a commission, but I have two more blades available on my website www.Jhublades.com
This knife looks incredible. World class talent!
You call that an instrument. What a piece of craftsmanship. Well done. Can't wait to see your next project will look like.
1:14 , i do have some critiques for your welding, if you use superglue instead of actually welding them, it works too and doesnt require my eyes to get FUCKING FLASHBANGED WHEN I WATCH THE FUCKIGN VIEROW
