Making My Last Blade

- In part 4 of Matt's Path to Journeyman Smith he forges the largest blade in his set. This will show you how to forge a blade. This was hand forged from 80 CRV. This was made for Bladeshow 2022. This is for knife making beginners and advanced knife makers. In this video we also unveil weather or not Matt passed the test. This video shows blade forging, blade grinding, forging a knife guard, how to etch your logo onto the blade. It was really great to be apart of the '22 testing group. Guys like Will Stelter, Ryan Breuer, James Fleming testing with me and Neels Van Den Berg and Nick Rossi testing for Mastersmith made it all the better experience.

Thanks for watching! This was the last knife in Matt's JS set! To purchase things that we have made please visit thatworks.shop
wait so, it's just his last apprentice blade?
@@LJMpictures yeah
3:05 Totally agree 👍
Procastination disrupts the process
This title was really shocking at first!
I was like "NOOOO! I haven't even been able to save up for one of your pieces and you're already out?!" LOL
Love your work process and the results!
Forging most of the Blades to 80%+ finished is such a Rare thing nowadays!
Thank you for making sure we have more blacksmiths/bladesmiths like you!
Sir can you please forge Burmese DHA.
Now that is a knife. Congratulations on becoming a Journeymen, you absolutely deserve it.
thank you Adam! I wasnt sure at first but I agree with you now!
Definitely has Crocodile Dundee vibes. :D
@ThatWorks what happens now is illya gone
beautiful work. That guard is gorgeous. It's funny that you say in the video that you weren't sure if you were ready for Journeyman status, cause my first reaction to the vid was "wait, how is he not already?!" congrats my dude, it was well earned.
I had a lot of people in my head. Enough doubters can shift your mindset. I also, up until I started that set, had never made a knife to JS standards.
@@ThatWorks then we will help shift your mindset positively, with our support
@@OPL001 I would love that!
Well said sir.
CONGRATULATIONS Matt. Im one of those guys that does not do social media, and I was wondering so thank you for sharing, and again congratulations!!
No problem. I debated on weather or not to share this once since it's been a year, but it felt right once I started editing it.
I always enjoy watching you guys work no matter whether you work alone or as a team. I love watching you pour your hearts into your creations. It shows a lot of passion and commitment to the craft. Congratulations on passing the test.
thank you for saying that!
"top ten soothing youtube videos"
for real though congrats on becoming a journeyman smith! I always enjoy watching your guys' videos, not only for the awesome results, but the care you guys take in the process and the focus on education as well!
haha. Soothing! You are the first to say that for sure! Thank you!
Congratulations, Matt! Beautiful and inspiring build. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing work Matt. The skill, hard work, and attention to detail paid off. Congrats!
I doubted myself at times, but in the end, I did it!
@@ThatWorksIt's intimidating for sure. At what point were you like "screw it, my time is now"?
Man you guys really do amazing work. What you do, and your path, but also Ilya when some videos highlight even how he does decorations all that is simply amazing to watch. Goodluck to everyone part of this channel
Congrats and I appreciate all the great content you guys made over the years. It's been a real pleasure
Thanks Imac! Much more to come! Much much more!
Gorgeous work as always Matt, can't wait to see what you do for your masters.
Thanks brother! I have about 3 pieces for my MS set planned but still developing skills to match my desired designs!
@@ThatWorks glad to hear you’re pushing yourself! I’m sure you’ll make some stunning pieces.
That is one clean knife! All business, with just a touch of style. Congratulations on getting your JS!
You nailed it! Exactly what I was going for and thank you!
years Ago, I discovered Man at arms and I thought "that's awesome" and after a few years of not realy doing anything with my life I'm very proud to say that I've joined a cutlery school in my country since last september !
you guys have been an inspiration since so many years and for the longest time, learning to forge and make blades was like a dream I could never achieve.
that's why I jumped when I learned about that cutlery school here in Belgium, I'm proud to follow your footsteps guys !
That is great to here! What is the name of the school?
@@ThatWorks EAFC Jean Meunier (EAFC means basically a school for adults)
it's not a school dedicated to cutlery, it proposes a lot of different kind of formation on a lot of subject, I took cutlery and ironwork and I'm having a lot of fun !
thanks for your video I realy love to watch them, keep it up !
Congratulations on making Journeyman Smith Matt. As I am not a fan of social media thank you for the update.
Sorry it took so long! Thanks for watching!
You're not a bladesmith, you're an artist! Congradulations, your work is truely incredible!
And you are too kind!
Congratulations on your passing! That knife is beautiful. When you showed it, the only thing I thought was “That’s not a knife! This is a knife!”. Both Croc and Bowie would be proud of your knife. I’d love to see you compete on Forged in Fire one day or at least do a collaborative video with one of the judges. Maybe even for a charity. Would be fun.
I felt like I needed at least one blade to be on the larger side. Didn't realize that my whole set was much larger then the normal. I guess that's just the perspective of a sword maker trying to make knives.
I do the "I'll fix it later" too...later is always harder. 😂🤣😂
So eager to see progress, I actually make progress slower.
Beautiful Bowie, Matt.
*CONGRATULATIONS!!!*
One of the major lessons that I learned! Fix it now! Later costs you time and possibly can screw the whole piece up!
Congratulations, I have been fascinated by the videos you guys make since the Man at Arms: Reforged days and I am truly impressed with your progress and devotion to your craft. Well done!
Thanks Jimmy! Ive always had great pride in presenting the craft to world. I try to represent it well!
Beautifully done Matt. Congratulations again on JS
Thank you so much 👍was quite the journey
Beautiful knife Matt! You are an awesome bladesmith with beautiful craftsmanship! Congratulations on your new title!
Congratulations, even as belated as it is
As someone who doesn't really use social media, thank you for the update
You are quite welcome! Thank you for the love!
Just to let you know, I saw that video only after seeing the friendly reminder community post of yours that a new video was available, I was surprised because I usually do not miss your videos, seeing that it has comparably low views maybe there was an issue. Congratulations to your Journeyman and do not forget to carry us along to your mastersmith title aswell :-)
No that is just CZcams these days. If we do anything "knife" related it doesnt get pushed out by them at all.
You've gained a new subscriber! This is what I love about YT, so many great and artistic people who share their great ability with us less creative people!
Well welcome Murph! Take a look around! Tons of buildy stuff vids :D
that last knife turned out amazing ,congratulations on your JS status ,you definately earned that one,those blades were beautiful
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for some more embellished pieces from me real real soon!
Did you have a favorite from my set?
@@ThatWorks ill have to go back and check out the rest of the videos to see if i can find the entire set and check them out again
Well done! I wish the best for you on your journey to becoming a master smith.
Thank you! It will be a true test!
I'm very happy for you Matt!! Congratulations!
Thank you John! This really means a lot to me. Wasnt sure id ever get here
That is one beautiful knife and to add your own makers stamp makes it even more of a beauty. Thanks for the upload bro
Joined the ABS a week ago after bladesmithing for a year, this gives me a lot of encouragement that I'll make it
Oh heck yea! Feel free to reach out on IG if you have any questions along your journey and check out part 1-3 of this series for more info. I talked more during those vids.
It's pretty cool that you and Will have a similar name and were standing together for that last shot! Would like to see Will come back to the forge for some more projects! Congratulations to the both of you guys. Yall had great looking knives!!
Beautiful knife. It was fun watching you and will stelter go through the j s process at the same time.
He and the other smiths that year were really great at sharing information and being a support group. It can be quite the stressful time.
Very clean work, especially on the guard!
Thank you! The video doesn't show it but I actually spent more time on the guard then I did the blade.
Gorgeous knife sir! Love the design and look! I always enjoy the vids you guys make....pls keep it up! Many thanks
That means a lot! I will try to keep going! As long as YT doesnt limit me reach....
Absolutely incredible work. Congratulations.
Thank you tons!
actually wondered what happened to that. Great that you finally become a journeyman
Thank you! Sorry it took me so long!
Turned out to be a really beautiful blade. I hope one day to be able to afford one of your knives. Have a piece of your legacy.
With you Matt and ilya and the other guys from another yt channel. I found my Hobby my little piece of freedom.
In forging and blade making
Thank you.
Oh that's excellent! What kind of things do you make? Have an Instagram?
@@ThatWorks
Soo. I make little pocket knifes to 60cm bowies 😄
And viking axe's sword's

Thank you for the video.
Hope you enjoyed it! Did you like the knife?
Nicely done, sir! Congrats again!
Thanks again my friend !
Happy to see you getting your props! Carry on, sir.
Always nice to set a goal and achieve it. Esp a goal that was years in the making.
I love it and have been really impressed by your rating 👌🏻
Oh thank you Chris!
Fantastic work!
Thank you Brit!
Congratulations on becoming a journeymans Smith. Also Magnificent Blades !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jerry!
Beautiful work Matt! 👊🏻🇺🇸
Insanely beautiful work, Matt!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Wow! That’s beautiful. Nice work!
Thank you! What's your favorite part of this knife?
Congrats! So awesome to see the conclusion. Gonna go for master smith now?
Congrats and thanks for the inspiration. I just joined ABS yesterday and now the clock is ticking. Thank you!
Oh that is fantastic. Do you plan on testing eventually?
@@ThatWorks I sure do. Just getting started on the path. Taking the two week VIB class in Jan...if all goes well should be eligible to test summer of '25.
I'm glad to see you again. It's been a while. Congratulations on the promotion.
Great having you here! Look around the channel though. We have done some epic stuff this passed year
Piece of art for sure!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks eric! Means a lot!
Nice work Matt, congratulations.
Thank Tony ! I appreciate it.
Your always inspiring. Continue the journey.
Such a beautiful piece and such a calming video! The whole thing was beauty and congrats a year too late!
Thank you! About all of it!
Congrats on JS! Well earned!
Thank you thank you!!!
What is a JS? Something smith?😅
Simple yet elegant. Truly beautiful.
That was the exact goal of this piece! Glad you got it!
Congrats!
Really nice work 🤟😺
thats a beautiful knife! I'd definitely be willing to buy that if I could
I have a few of my knives available on thatworks.shop/ for sale.
Congratulations man!
Thank you Logan!
Nice, very clean!
Thats the idea. Heck even this piece went a little further then needed for a JS set, but I wanted one that I could say that about.
Cool loved it
I love the music! (And the knife obviously)
Thank you! It's always a challenge to choose music that fits the build and makes most people happy.
Well done!
Thank you Joe.
Congratulations 🎉
This was amazing i have always
wanted to do forging and making cool stuff like this but of course i don't have the materials or this skill and i hope for you the best in the future
Thank you! I highly recommend joining your local blacksmith guild. Google your area. I am sure there is one within driving distance! a cheap way to get into the craft without having to invest in materials and tools.
Great build. 👍👍
Thank you Masi! I really enjoyed it!
It's cool that you and Will got it at the same time.
Yea I was very lucky to have tested the year that I did! Fantastic group of craftsmen!
Congrates youg man .Happy trails
Thank you Mike! Means a lot to me!
Congratulation man, you deserve it !
Thank you very much Kalaam!
Congrats. Hope to see you in your post doc.
:D not sure that will ever happen but one can strive!
Awesome. You and Will stelter need to do a calab together it be a amazing video or series to watch
WE did ! czcams.com/video/851IhkfUFFw/video.html
I gotta say, the title scared me a bit... sounded like you were giving it up.
Great video and beautiful knife.
Man that is a gorgeous Bowie!!
Awesome work brother
Thank you my friend!
Congrats Matt!
Thank you Peter!
Congratulations! You were a master smith years before this moment, making it official was just a formality.
Well I am still not a master. I am compared to some but not to others! Still much growth needed! Trust!
Hey. Welcome back!
Congratulations!!
you are too kind!
A very beautiful and well made knife.
Thank you! I felt really solid about this one.
Wow... just wow
I like the mini knuckle bow. Protects the first two knuckles when chopping.
Yea I like that too! I wanted at least one of my knives in the set to have a organically forged shape! Not just ground to shape.
Congratulations !!!!!!!
🤝🏻😁
Thank you!
I spotted a wildWill at the end there
That's a damn nice piece.
Thank you! One of my favs!
A very nice blade! Definitely worth of a JS
Now that is one hell of a blade, sir.
Yea this one felt good! Felt like I knew what I was doing! Ish
Looks like a Kyle royer style knife, good stuff.
Well he is a master smith so I guess that is a compliment.
Extremely inspiring
Yea? Well that's what I love to hear!
to me, your work on man at arms is proof enough of your ability
Congrats Matt. Stagmer knives ooo that name kinda bears a heft to it.
CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 the knife in this video turned out really nice such a clean classic look. Keep up the great work 🥃 Sláinte
Thank you Ronnie! I think this was my favorite from my set. Either that or the one with no guard. Did you have a favorite ?
Yeah the other black handle with a guard or the one without a guard also. I don't know the material used for them off hand.
Good job Matt
Thank you !
Proud of you Matt 🤩
Thank you! You'd be surprised how many people didn't think I would ever get it done.
That's one fine hunting blade. Congratulations on the title of Journeyman.
Thank you!
Вы мастера знающие свое дело👏👏👏💯
Congratulations sir!
Thank you Sathos !
@@ThatWorks you are so welcome Matt, you have worked your ass off to get where you are and for someone like me (disabled, no outdoor or workshop space) watching content like yours is as good as it gets man.
Great work! ❤️ which kungber power supply did you use to etch your blade? 👍🏾
Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations!
Thank you Tiber! did you have a favorite piece in this set?
@@ThatWorks This one. It looks massive and heavy, but neat and elegant at the same time.
Masterpiece
Well that is far too kind.
That blade has a soul.
Once again even though I got to tell you in person last year I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD DO JUST FINE AND NOT TO BE NERVOUS love you dude and glad you think of me so highly and like family
