I am very humbled to say, that is my Bowie! I commissioned it and he knocked it out of the park. Looks exactly as I planned and I cannot wait to get it in my hands! You are an artist Freerk. First class work and second to none communication through the process. Having a video of your knife being hand forged is icing on the cake. Thank you again for allowing me to commission a blade from you.
Freerk I am in awe, I watch all your videos and I’ve learned so much. I’m just a beginner without all your equipment, but your work is what I’ll always aspire to!
Man, you are an artist. I'm a surgeon and I appreaciate a quality job like this... It's beatiful to see a person like you in action. Have a nice day, cheers from Czech Republic !!
what I like is the templates you have just knocking around your work shop! I am making one but only with a 4inch blade and 5inch wooden handle made from Rosewood, a good solid carvable wood. I just haven't got anything I can hold and carve things with. Enjoy watching. thanks for sharing.
OMG! I’ve watched some forging here on the tube but that my friend is simply awesome! I’m in total envy of the guy who commissioned this lovely piece. Enjoy.....
Congratulations, Sir. Beatiful Bowie knife. Greetings from Brazil! In your opinion, what's the most appropriate stainless steel type to design a Bowie knife like this focused on high resistance and hard working? Congratulations!
Congratulations my friend, your work really is of excellence ... I would like to know if you would send a knife of this to the BRAZIL? and what would be the cost? thank you so much KIRK
Amazingly impressive. I am so glad to finally find someone who can actually forge a knife from a piece of steel. So many that I have seen will cut an unfinished blank then polish and sharpen it. Then try to say that they forged it. It is just too disturbing. I am just starting out and trying to learn from as many true blacksmiths and metal workers as I can. Thank you for a great tutorial. Many blessings to you.
Man that's a good-looking Bowie knife I would love to have a Bowie knife like that but I'm middle class American that does not have enough money to have a knife like that.
It's a luxury item... hand crafted and custom made that serves no daily purpose unless you're out in the wilderness living off the land almost exclusively, which if you're middle class, you're probably not doing.
A blued steel Bowie knife huh.? I have to admit I have never seen anyone a Forge a Bowie knife with that much skill. Even here in Texas that takes a minimum of a week the forge of Blade that big. It appears only took you maybe a day or two. How much do you want for that Bowie?
The most BEAUTIFUL work of ART. I was stunned at your workmanship. I did 30 years in construction and 4 years in the AIR FORCE as a mechanic. I would love to buy one of your BOWIES. 🙏👍✌️🌞😎🍻
I watched (how you work) more than the knife. Always paying attention, taking feedback. That is true working with the materials. Not just "intending" for it to happen. Very Cool.
You should leave some information in the description on how we could possibly buy your stuff, or commission some work. You seem to always produce great products. As said below - class act.
Wow, I have never seen you sharpening your knifes. It probably feel really cool holding such deadly weapon in your hand. I hope you didn't cut yourself at 27:29

thanks! thanks for the assignment!
Congrats on a beautiful knife. Freerk makes some great stuff and it was fun to watch yours come together. I am in the queue for one myself!
That’s awesome brother! I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
You need to take a video when you do, we wanna see it in action!
Absolutely. Will do. I’m excited to give it a good work out.
That definitely is THE ultimate Bowie knife. Your most beautiful work when it comes to Bowies, in my opinion.
Now THAT'S a knife! Scary good craftsmanship.
Sue: Mick, give him your wallet.
Mick: What for?!
Sue: Hes. Got. A. Knife!
Mick: hahaha. Thats not a noife...
Crocodile Dundee 1986....new york scene. 😂
The worst part of the video it's that it ends. Beautiful work of art ! Maybe the best blacksmithing channel on CZcams
Sandaluta Sfarghiu thanks!
Freerk, that is one beautiful knife and just think it will last hundreds of years after you’re gone. What a legacy you are leaving the world.
Yes sir
Absolute Art and expertise in metal. I am sure that a lot of sweat and tears went into your ability to craft such a knife. Thank you for your video.
Freerk I am in awe, I watch all your videos and I’ve learned so much. I’m just a beginner without all your equipment, but your work is what I’ll always aspire to!
Honestly my favourite blade smith on CZcams. Beautiful work.

Man, you are an artist. I'm a surgeon and I appreaciate a quality job like this... It's beatiful to see a person like you in action. Have a nice day, cheers from Czech Republic !!
Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a knife? Now THIS is a knife!"

Arthur, John and the gang would be amazed by that knife you made
BEAUTIFUL...and mean-ass looking, too! You, sir, are an artist.
There are no words to describe it.
You, sir, take the term "Artisan" to a whole new level.

Go Big Or Go Home... Jim Bowie & Crocodile Dundee Would Be Proud, Now That's A Knife!
you took the word right out of my mouth
Awesome knife great work I love how you made the guard I'm going to try that
Now that's a Knife.
The color contrast is awesome.
Nice touch. Keep up the Arts
Man that's a good-looking Bowie knife I would love to have a Bowie knife like that but I'm middle class American that does not have enough money to have a knife like that.
Make one 😎

@Jay M whoa calm down, let the man estimate you prick
I'm impressed by the precise level of craftsmanship.
Excellent craftman. Jim Bowie would be proud to own one of your creations...
Now that's a Noife mate.
maritimer Man now see if dundee was set in modern times he'd probably have this knife either that or a 500 magnum
That's the first thing that came to mind
I see you've played knoify spoony before
I can fucking hear this comment
I heard this comment
That's not a knife that's a short sword pretending to be a knife.
Jon Goat aren’t knife fights great?
actually it's a knife, the guys is just too small, he's a dwarf
The original "Bowie" knife was actually made from a broken cavalry sabre, so it is actually a shortened sword.
Lol I literally thought those exact words before seeing this comment
I just call short swords daggers.......wait.............do people use knives or daggers.........wait aren’t they the same thing? I’m confused.
The most BEAUTIFUL work of ART. I was stunned at your workmanship. I did 30 years in construction and 4 years in the AIR FORCE as a mechanic. I would love to buy one of your BOWIES. 🙏👍✌️🌞😎🍻
Thanks! For prices mail me at freerkwieringa@gmail.com
Hallo Freerk ! Du bist sicher einer der besten Deines Faches und kannst echt Stolz sein auf Dein Koennen !!! Bleib Gesund !!!
Bet he could make a wicked kukri.
that's a great idea, love it
It's so big that it could have a leather sheath with an extra compartment to hold a gun.
SatanSupimpa hahahahaha
SatanSupimpa in all seriousness a derringer would fit well
Aaron Wag maybe even a Boberg
SatanSupimpa that could work
Muito linda a faca !!!!!!! Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!!!!!
I watched (how you work) more than the knife. Always paying attention, taking feedback. That is true working with the materials. Not just "intending" for it to happen. Very Cool.
Beautiful knife that. James and Rezin Bowie would be proud. 🤩
"That is not a knoife. THIS is a knoife"
Muito bom!
Like
Amazing knife , absolutely love it, subbed.
One of the coolest knives, I've seen so far.
Watching this makes me wanna learn how to forge weapons
3 months into bladesmithing, ive made 5 knives, 4 smithing tools, and an axe. You can do it. Its challenging, but worth it.
Jus made my first Bowie today, you should definitely get into it, if you haven’t already!
how much would that cost?
You know the old saying, "If you have to ask, ...........
Very nice looking blade. I've never produced anything that looks that good to date. Moving leaf spring by hand is no easy task. Very well done.
That is a beautiful work of art and you did an excelent job making this knife. I love it, thank you for your efforts. stan

Robert Hayes good idee. I was a bit in a hurry there. You can order at freerkwieringa@gmail.com
Wow, I have never seen you sharpening your knifes. It probably feel really cool holding such deadly weapon in your hand. I hope you didn't cut yourself at 27:29
StepanUa7 no. It is sharp but not like a razor. I can be though. But my guess is it will be used more like a chopper
Just love to see this kind of craftsmanship.... wish everything was build and made with this passion
Prachtig Freerk. Je maakt ware kunstwerkjes! Echt super!
