- Today I'm finishing the second knife for my fathers 60th birthday. He built and gifted me the heat treatment / casting oven, so I wanted to make a special set for him using the oven.

I can seriously recommend this furnace, I was really impressed by it's performance, while still being affordable! - Zábava
What else should I make a handle out of? 🤔
Make sure to check out the VEVOR Furnace, links in the description + a code for 5% off! I was seriously impressed by its performance!
You can always try some fossil ivory or inlay fossilized wood.
how about an actual fish cast in epoxy?
Could try having some stingray leather on the grip.
Missed oppertunity to make a swordfish the handle, but maybe thats a bigger blade needed?
You could do a camel, where the humps go between your finers?
As a 59 year old dad, you've probably made your dad cry. What an amazing gift.
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you from all the dads out here in YTland.
Hi, great work! Have you ever thought making Corvo folding blade? I imagine its hard to accomplish in real life but to be fair I thought retractable katana wouldn't be possible but here you are.
Thanks! And definitely! It’s high on the list, just 2 fantasy builds before that 👌🏻
Make sure your eagle knife doesn't eat your fish knife before your dad gets to see it.
I’ll make sure they behave 😄
wonderful build Njord! I'm sure your dad will love it
Thank you! He did! I gave them to him last Sunday
I'm blown away. That is simply incredible. Amazing work! KUDOS!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 🙌
Sweet work! Your dad is going to love it!
Thanks! And he does!
yet another banger by njord, each time a video drops im hyped! great job on the knife and getting a sponsor :)
Thanks a lot!! 🙌
That came out wonderfully, I really love how angry the fishy ended up looking. Also that Kydex leather combination is brilliant. I think I'm going to steal that idea for a custom holster for a pistol that I own that's been a royal pain to find a reasonably priced off the shelf one for, thanks.
Thanks! And sure thing, I’m glad I could help! I think it’s really the best of both worlds and I’ll keep doing my sheaths like that aswell 👌🏻
thank you for another video!
Thanks for watching!
I also use my propain tank smelter as an oven usually while warming it up for melting my handle materials. I figure why waist gas. Great knife idea my father definitely wants one now.
Thanks! Yeah, same. I actually heated up the blade from the intro with the vevor furnace in 10 minutes. My forge would’ve taken forever for that
Beautiful.
Those are amazing
Thank you!! 🙌
That’s such a beautiful knife!
Thanks! 🙌
Amazing 👍🏽👍👍🏻
Thanks!!
this is comedy at perfection
Thanks a lot 🙌🙌
Man of many talents)
Finding nemo. There he is! 😂
Ah yes, the legendary Fishblade
Eu já pensou de fazer de cada animal seria uma coleção inestimável único parabéns
I wish i got adds for cool blacksmiths in my area instead of single moms😢
😂
My friend that looks absolutely DOPE!! :O
Also what is the sound track you used at the end of your dagger challenge video? Been looking for it everywhere but cany find it.
Also tested my forge yesterday (didn't work cause the wood was still a bit wet).
Thanks, man! I’ll have a look now and then write you on IG 👌🏻
@@NjordArtisan Sounds great, I can show you what I finished at school on Thursday.
👍
Nice knife and I love your editing. tbh i find the eagle to look a little bit goofy, i think it would look better with rougher edges (it had more character right after belt grinding). But i really dig the fish, the whole knife has really balanced, pleasant to look at shape. I kinda liked how the fish looked straight out of the mold though, with all of the metal "imperfections". I wonder if its possible to preserve at least some of this look while cleaning up. Im an artist so im a little bit picky, dont take the criticism too seriously. You're doing awesome work.
at 6:40, there was a nice contrast between the rough and the polished part, something like that would be cool (the all shiny look does work for the fish tho)
Hey no worries, I’m always open to criticism when it’s politely put like you did
I totally get what you mean, I also think the eagle looks a bit odd because the beak ended up being way too big because of all the regrinding I did. But it was also a balance between what looks good and feels right in the hand. A smaller beak would’ve left the sharp tip right where your pinky should be so I decided to go with comfortability over looks.
And I’m also right with you on the look of the freshly casted scales. I actually wanted to keep it like that but they ended up being absurdly heavy so I had to grind them down as well.
Maybe I’ll file the wooden scales down and try to cast them again
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🙌
@@NjordArtisan best of luck on your next projects!
That's so frigin cool
Thanks!
Another great Video :) will your cooking alter ego be "Njord à la cartesan"? :P
😂😂
It came out beautiful. I did have one question. Doesn't that spike of the fin on the tail poke into your hand when using it?
Thanks! It looks sharper than it is, i rounded off everything and there isn’t actually enough space for your pinky to go all the way in there. At least for my hand size I didn’t feel anything
It looks fantastic! Your creativity knows no bounds :D
One quick thing though, you said it's a fishing knife, did you mean filleting knife or just general use fishing knife? Just curious because filleting knifes are usually somewhat thin bendy to allow efficient use. None the less it looks beautiful
Thanks! Yes a fishing knife set. This one is the fillet knife. It turned out a bit bigger but I really like the look and it’s tempered to be very flexible 👌🏻
@@NjordArtisan I didn't realise it was thin enough to bend! My eye must have been off because I swear it looked like it was a thicc boi 😳
@@somelaser5906 😄
No the blade is just 2mm thick
Make the sword and mask from Dishonored.
You might want to protect that VFD of your grinder before it dies from metal dust.
Yeah I really should! The container was meant to be a month of temporary workspace but turned out to be a bit longer. I always look at it and think I should build a box after this project and then I don’t 🙈

Eu vou te falar uma gostaria que você mandasse um vídeo que me avisasse de corrente de navio e o cabo dela e o cabo de gomos fica com gomos e de vez de você colocar madeira coloca resina clara pra mostra as correntes ⛓️ e algo em cima e em baixo para firmar as mãos
