    I love these videos with the old man. He seems like a very mild-mannered personality, but his shop inventions tell a different story. He is clearly a madman, and the franken-sander is such a fitting name for one of his projects.

    Very nice job! I definetly need to incorporate some metal in my handles in the future as well!
    Quick questions: How did you gold plate the pommel nut? Wich gold salt did you use? What current and voltage where you using? Is there anywhere a video of this on this channel or if not are you considering making a video about that process?

    I love seeing large billets like that being made. It allows you to make several knives out of one billet. Very smart and saves loads of time. Also, your knife making skills have improved SO much over the past year. It's actually amazing to watch and I wanna thank you for sharing your growth with all of us.

    @jimcorbett3764 Před rokem +2

    I like the way the midline swoops toward the tang down at the bottom, like it's growing out of the handle. The scrollwork on the scales looks good, as well. Great pattern, great handle- nice build! Thanks for posting.

    This is the first video of yours I have watched and my mind has been blown. I can only aspire to be half as good. I am new to bladesmithing and whilst I have studied for a while I am only now getting the opportunity to set up a forge ! I have added a wedge die to my order now, as well !!!!! I loved the effect. Thank you again for a great video.

    Your family knives will be in museums one day. Yes, they are definitely that good. Hopefully the videos will be persevered. Just imagine, 400 years from now seeing an artifact being foraged and narrated by the creator. And then seeing how well the blade and handle held up after all that time.

    You should try some silver and gold makume gane!! Youd be the first I’ve ever seen to actually implement these into anything besides jewelry, you could even do rose gold white gold and regular gold, that would be absolutely stunning, if your worried about the softness you could work-harden the golds after they are finished and then give ‘em a quick polish so they look even better!

    The one thing that Your family has that I would like to see videos for is the full time business runner. Nobody on CZcams is showing what it actually looks like to run a bladesmith business. I would bet that there are hundreds of thousands of new or hobbyist bladesmiths who could literally profit from what Mom could teach, and they will come running if you offered it.

    I like what you did with the reciprocating jig for sanding but agree it does look a lil scary to use lol. Have a look at videos from Sharup, he made something similar converting rotational motion to linear and uses it on all his knives, looks a lot tamer to use. Bravo on the finish, this looks so beautiful, love the free hand detail on the handle, really does look gorgeous. Take care, love from South Africa

    @brenturquhart7090 Před rokem

    I love your knives. They are right up there with all the other top smiths on youtube. I’m not a big fan of the art knives a lot of these guys build for youtube. Sure their beautiful, but you know they’ll never be used, and to me that is such a shame.
    Lately your knives have really improved, your right up there with the other top tier makers. But while up there, going toe to toe with the best, you still build them to be used, and or that I thank you.
    Have you ever thought about doing your own channel? Though, now that I said that, your videos have helped your son’s content to be more regular. The algorithm. Love that. I have two grown sons, and I’d do anything for them, anything.

    • @brenturquhart7090
      @brenturquhart7090 Před rokem

      Please don’t take anything I said as a slight to your son, he is on artist and his knives are possibly the best on youtube.
      His pieces are museum level, they can’t be compared to anything else I’ve seen. He’s on a completely different level.

  • @charlesroman9163
    @charlesroman9163 Před rokem

    While you have not caught up with Kyle, you are making some of the best art blades on CZcams. This thing is out of this world. I would love to see you start your own channel at some time, as your videos are so different from your son's.

    Hey Jeff, Great job. Absolutely stunning as always. I was just wondering, after you split it with the wedge, how much cleaning and prep is there to the inside surfaces before you weld them back together to make the feather. I can't ever remember seeing anybody cover that part. I would assume they have some scale and need to be smoothed up some, but I don't know, I have never tried it. Thanks. Really glad to see more content coming from you. Priceless. (And for everything else, there's Mastercard)

  • @alexparadi522
    @alexparadi522 Před rokem

    Love the file work - that's gorgeous! Question though.... for a functional chef's knife - don't they want the cutting edge to be mono steel? Doesn't the pattern wield ultimately produce an uneven cutting edge? Or is the difference in the metals so minute that there isn't a practical difference?
