I knew I heard a fellow South Africa. What an outstanding build, lots of useful tips I'm definitely going to use for my next knife.
Amazing as usual. I really like the finish
Very classy video. You have a great attitude towards others using our adapting your methods to suit them.

Beautiful!!!!
Thank you very much for making this excellent video. It was most informative!
well explained without talking too much thanks
Perfection, a beautiful classic look very clean in design.
Awesome video, well done 👏. Thanks for sharing
I think that your clinical discipline shows throughout and culminates in a wonderful end result. I like what I saw. Thank you!😀
Awesome build. 👍👍
Great work and video - I’m glad that you use a mixture of machine and hand tools to make your pieces, it shows patience and skill 🍺👌🏻🏴
Excelent your video anda work. I'm learning with yours works. Thank you to share you Talent! Salutation from Patagonia Argentina...
Stunning work as always, well done bud
Really dig your Videos. Draw filing is a great idea....have never thought about that....
My favourite CZcams maker!!!
Thanks for sharing, I learned a few new things and a technique or two was confirmed. You had me at Tamboti and I really enjoyed going through the process with you.
Baie mooi mes die! Kan sien jy ken jou storie. Mooi gedoen en die videos is baie nice!
One of the best looking drop point hunters I've ever seen. It's shaped almost identically to the one I have and it's my favorite hunting knife yet. Of course yours is quite a bit better made. I'd some day like to have me a custom one like this built for me. Excellent work sir.
Great work!
Perfect!Be blessed!
Nice touch you have on the sander/grinder, hope to master mine that well someday. Thank you. Cheers!
Super quality
I love knives but this one is blade lust.
Sinceramente, estava sentindo falta das suas produções. Que bom que voltou! Deus o abençoe!!
Looks to be a handsome tool
Really cool
Well done
amazing work dude
Amazing workmanship performed by a true artist, looking forward for more videos.
You are good amigo, keep the good work.
Greetings from Toronto.

Knife making, staring Utred son of Utred.
Wow! Henk. Ongelooflik. Pragtige mes.
Beaultifull
Excelent.. Bro
Bom muito bom 👏👏👏
Hi,
Thank you for this 37 min video and for the clear, sharp and precise explanations at each step. 👍🏻💪🏻
But in reality, this project took you how long between the creation of the template and the finished product?
Where can I this template?
Thanks for your answer.😊
Высший пилотаж! Бомба!
Нож не дающий никакой искры на гриндере это супер нож! Берите себе по 3 таких резаки мама дорогая твердость , агрессия, вязкость, супер короче, если таким ножом ударить по ведру половина населения галактики исчезнет!)))
Is the handle wood not hard enough or are the initial sanding grits rough.. I keep noticing chipped off pieces on edged.
Amazing piece of work !!!
Mükemmel
I've been curious about heat-treating N690 without an electric kiln before. You seem to make it work using a propane forge! What oil are you using to quench?
Baie mooi.!!!
Baie mooi mes. Ek hou van die tamboti hout. My oupa het meubels van tamboti gemaak. Ek kan nog onthou hoe het sy sitkamerstel geruik.
Awesome to watch you at work sir. I thought you did a perfect job. Can I ask what thickness is the stock you used please?
Question, what kind of buffing wheel do you use for the wood handles? Thank you and great video!
A very well shaped knife. Excellent finished look. Do you know what the Rockwell hardness is. I like blades that are at least 60 RH.
did you use insulating firebrick too build the furnace looks like grade aa would be best
Baie mooi.
Супер. Класс 👍👍👍
Hi, well done.
You say its a N690 Steel.
Don't you have a problem with oxygen when hardening?
At what temperature do you hardening?
Actualy it can be done this way... Realizing how thick a knife blade is, and the heat treatment protocols given by the steel supliers (which are for one inch thickness standards) soak times and temperatures for hardening and tmpering should be "converted" for the piece to be heat treated so... Would it bennefit from an anti scale compound applied? Well, maybe... Would the use of a thermocouple give a more precise temp? Sure... But, if one has enough experience, it can be done this way for simple carbons to 12C27, AEBL, N690, D2, etc, yes. Not so much for the PM steels though. Those are a bit more finicky...
Огонь👍👍👍
WONDERFUL, I have no words, always super perfect and unique precise product, wonderful work and video, well done and good luck, respect from old BG. p.s. It is a great pleasure for me to see that there are such precise people in the world, and that of the White race!!!
(Anmobgoccult20)S.P. Ever since the French Industrial Revolution the White Race were the leaders in Engineering. They are not very good at many other skills. It was only in the 1920's that Jspan caught up and lately China is trying their best. Every race has their own excellence and we should respect each other for that, like you do. Thanks.
Any chance you still have this piece still in your inventory? If so seeing it made on the video I'm interested in it if available so I can use for skinning. I do custom leather sheaths and holsters so I have that part covered🙂 please let me know . Thank you
I’m not sure that glass breaker is properly placed, but it looks pretty good
Nice work , what is the name of the Epoxy you are using? I live in PE and hopefully I can find it locally.
ZEEMAN....PARABÉNS PELA CONFECÇÃO DESSA FACA. UMA PEÇA SIMPLES E BEM ELEGANTE, GOSTEI MUITO DO QUEBRA CRÂNIO. O DESBASTES PROXIMO DO RICASSO FAZENDO O REBAIXAMENTO PARA REGULARIZAR COM O GUME FOI ÓTIMO. A ANGULAÇÃO DO CHOIL FOI INESPERADO, VAI AJUDAR MUITO NO ESFORSO DE AVANÇO.
PARABÉNS, ÓTIMOS ENSINOS.
👍👍👍
Fantastic video and an amazing knife! Do you have a website where you sell your knives? I’d love to own one
Το υπερβολικό τρίψιμο των πείρων στον μύλο δεν τους υπερθερμάνει με συνέπεια την κατάρρευση της κόλλας σας; Έχω δοκιμάσει πολλές κόλες στο υλικό G 10 αλλά απέτυχαν, γνωρίζετε κάποια κόλλα που δίνει ικανοποιητικούς δεσμούς στο G 10;
Looks beautiful! The one thing I couldn’t get though was why the glass breaker on a hunting knife?
Car accident while driving out to hunt. Ya never know.
beautiful Knife. i love the layout. where can i steal it?
❤
👍💯
Why not heat treat the whole knife, instead of the glas breaker and then the knife?
Is the trace for this knife available? Would love to have a go at making a similar one
Was that stabilized wood?
The knife is fantastic....but those scales look like used floor boards from the hood
First thank you for making this video. Second I have my BlackSmith shop and garage please work on the audio as I don't want to miss your instructions but can't bear the unnecessary shop noise.
I'm interested and will review this later as to loud for family in the house
Thanks
@John Jude, I feel sorry for you. The ear specialist who supplied your hearing aid is not good. The machine noise is always soft when he speaks. When rhe machine noise is loud, he does not say a single word. You miss nothing, because he only speaks when the machine noise is muffled.
Where/What is the tool you use to chamfer the holes @ 3:54??? Send link is possible. Thanks!
Hi, i want to ask you that, is N690 steel got enough hrc and stainless steel with your heat threatment process? Because in some areas i saw N690 steel need oxygen free process. What do you think?
Sorry, can I ask for a template image for this knife? because I didn't find it in the video description
Se vende ese cuchillo?
Wat glue make do you use. Thank you
What drilling speed do you use??
How well did the teeth hold up on that?
I meant, of course, the carbon in the steel
Steel grade???
what kind of metal do you use to make a knife?
AHTOH, replay the video. He gave the type of steel at 1:16-17
Hi, can one order from you?price please?
красиво. Жаль не понимаю по английски
it is wrong to do metal hardening after removing the descents. carbon burns out
Ganz okay aber mir zu klein....
you should not handle epoxy no matter which kind without gloves .. otherwise nice work and beautyful knive
12:53 12:43
you need to invest is some lights in your videos , too dim hard to see in some places, ..
Nice metalworking and fit&finish.
Heat treat? *siiigh* Why no tempering?
I won't trust a blade that did not went through proper tempering. This is inexusable with 690, which is easy to temper (150 to 180 C, doable in simplest electric oven, and it should produce 58, perhaps 59 HRC blade with much better toughness).
