Just absolutely epic work Freerk. You seem to get better with each new build and yet I can’t see how you can improve on what you are already making. Thank you so much for putting this content out there
That surface grinder is a beast. Mine is the old school with grinding wheels that always need to be recalibrated due too loss of the grinding wheel material. And I love the respiratory safety gear also. That is a must have when grinding any thing. I like the fact that you are showing all the safety gear needed to stay healthy while performing this kind of work. I've been a custom knife maker for forty years. And safety is job one. Awesome job my friend.
This the first time I've watched your work honestly at first I thought this looks like crap but the more you worked this blade I will say magnifito my friend great job my talented friend.
Hola que tal, hablas con Kaska el herrero de las almas. Ello haces. Mira lo en CZcams. Yo hay echo una encomenda de un cuchillo kruki para Portugal. Salud.
Again and again, i love to watch your videos (if hephaistos watch youtube, he will sooner or later try to employ you), thx and good times to you and your people!
with a gas forge is better, the milds steel is bad for knifes and high carbon steel is better. gas forge can be of butane gas or asetylene in a cube of refractary bricks. the anvil can be a piece of metal in a stiff block
Amazing job as usual, really getting near perfection !!! I was wondering what you were applying to guard and pommel at the end to get that dark gray color ?
amazing work! though I am confused about one bit, why do you clamp wood around it at certain points? I would have to guess for straightness, but could that not also be achieved with something less flammable?
Hello, you are a real master👍 if it's not a secret, what kind of powder do you pour on hot blanks? And what kind of steel did you forge this beautiful knife out of?
its funny that all the tons of old farm machiner out there to be had for cheap and enough on one to make dozens of knivies and people buy new stuff the old can be hardened just as good and it d save a little wear and tear on digging more of earth up
There's no doubt that is a true masterpiece by a truly gifted artist and craftsman, but I'v to say there are perhaps 3% mistakes due to anachronisms. Why putting a Latin slogan in Gothic Fraktura letters on a Greek/Spartan sword? I would have chosen at least Greek-like letters, in the best case original Greek letters and a Greek slogan. And I would have edged it on the bow of the guard, not the straight side. Would have looked much cooler. And the boar-head is no doubt masterly crafted, but I personally connect a boar-head much more to Celtic/Gaul culture. I would have chosen a wolf's/eagle's/lion's head (Sparta), an owl's head (Athens), a bull's head (Minoan culture), ram's head (Thessalia, Jason and the golden fleece), perhaps even a Lakedaimon-sign for Sparta (Lakedaimon is the true name of the Spartans' home country, Sparta was just the capital city. That's why the Spartans had the Greek letter L, the Lamda, on their shields.), or a Medusa's head or snake's head. Perhaps even a Spartan's helmet or the head of a Cyclops would have been a cool pommel. Just an attempt for constructive critique, no malice.
Creativity has done a good work that raises the hat for himWhat is the name of the material in which the blade was filled to show the decoration at a minute 17:45
Beautiful work. An instant heirloom for a clan Campbell family.
I’ve watched a lot of videos of this kind of craftsmanship, this is the best of the best. The detail is amazing...
Beautiful work. Some of the process' still have me scratching my head. I have so much to learn!
Hands down the highest quality best designed blades and filmed content.
You have a knack for the execution from mind in to matter.

Absolutely beautiful work and that workshop must be incredibly inspirational to work in - all the gear! (even a slightly unbalanced oven :) )
The shop is a reflection of my mind. Messy but functional. Lol
Another great blade. This guy is good !
You are an artist.
well done SIR a beautiful and geourgous knife.
Love the channel, great to see a real craftsman at work making things of beauty, only issue is the amount of adverts.
Stunning! I am afraid I would have to hit the gym before I could ever use it though.
Such passion and it reflects in his work
Amazing amazing job , very very nice
incredible!! thanks for sharing that!!!
That is absolutely beautiful my friend 👊 i would love to own one, it would look awesome.💯 Because it is 1 of a kind.

How amazing so nice work
Amazing bro, I want to forge myself
with a gas forge is better, the milds steel is bad for knifes and high carbon steel is better. gas forge can be of butane gas or asetylene in a cube of refractary bricks. the anvil can be a piece of metal in a stiff block
Ouch! Forging yourself is gonna hurt. I don’t recommend it.
Amazing job as usual, really getting near perfection !!! I was wondering what you were applying to guard and pommel at the end to get that dark gray color ?
Wrreiteoeueûrzeeuè Zeit tut eu

Офигеть это очень долгий и сложный процесс работы, Респект.
San Mai is my favorite
Most excellent.
video very cool Master from God super
Work of art.. ❤️👍
Sehr Gut Brüder!
amazing work! though I am confused about one bit, why do you clamp wood around it at certain points? I would have to guess for straightness, but could that not also be achieved with something less flammable?
I think the wood promotes slow cooling as well which is beneficial at times.
Very goooooooooodddddd
😉👍️✨goodjob
Good job
Dude, I'd love to see you take a swing at some armor
You should work for a king!
This is a powerful knife
عالی❤
Thank you!
Beautiful
Hello, you are a real master👍 if it's not a secret, what kind of powder do you pour on hot blanks? And what kind of steel did you forge this beautiful knife out of?
probably borax powder
Astounding 😉👍🏻
Nice...
I am not sure, do you include distal taper where it's appropriate or even crucial for good handling?
the Handel is too short for me ... Very Great Work.
cool👍
a pero antes era a puro martillo sipo jajajajaja una broma amigo, excelente trabajo
Дело мастера боится.
Very Sweet Large knife. Would the Damascus still show up if you polish to a mirror look?
Very Nice! Can I buy it? How much please?
The only change I would make is ownership!!! Well done Sir
You grind so much. Your work is great , but why not forge your bevels?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
its funny that all the tons of old farm machiner out there to be had for cheap and enough on one to make dozens of knivies and people buy new stuff the old can be hardened just as good and it d save a little wear and tear on digging more of earth up
Hi Freek, I'm an aspiring knife maker from Belgium and I was wondering where you get your steel from?

If it was still a thing, im pretty sure your blades would go to kings.
Muito bom pefeito
Wild beauty
Ik zou dat ook wel eens willen doen/leren. Wat vind jij van forged in fire op History ?
Queria ter uma arte dessa!!!
Шикарный штурмовой палаш. Для абордажа.
Apakah saya bisa memiliki salah satu dari pisau buatan mu?🙏🙏
Красота👍
