    Awesome work!

    I politely make this suggestion: DO NOT STAND ON YOUR BLADE...if it failed, you could very easily have received a crippling injury. There are other ways to perform the same test, safer ways. I laud your knife making and your skills. You do excellent work and provide interesting content. There is no need for you to get hurt doing it.

  • @sts2223
    @sts2223 Před 2 lety

    beautifully crafted knife
    I've seen a documentary about the tribes that live with reindeers and their explanation for the shape of the blade was simply that metal is a scarce resource and this indentation allows for a knife of adequate size with less raw materials

  • @barking.dog.productions1777

    Normally, a file is too high in carbon for this to work out well, but this is how tempering keeps the hardness of the file on the edge - yet imparts flexibility into the spine... Perfection. This is what you want. This is high carbon brittle steel being worked at it's finest. A pleasure to watch a master blade smith at work.
