I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this before Freerk, but thanks for not including music in your videos. Most music I hear in videos is unnecessary and/or unpleasant. The sounds of construction are music enough.
Literally just scrolled in the comments section to say basically what you said haha. Yeah I was like "I've not really actually heard a power hammer before, despite seeing so many videos with them in because of all the damn music playing over the top."
Of all the blades you've made, these 2 are my favorite. That center line through the length, the size, the sound of the hilt perfectly hitting the wood on the sheath, and the simplicity of it are just amazing. I'd love to have this set of daggers.
It's amazing to actually see a blacksmith these days normalizing their steel before doing the finishing work and grinding... my hats off to you for that. Sometimes it seems like the little details like that are left to the wayside, and it shows a lot of pride to even include you doing it in your videos.
I have watched so many of your videos, and I honestly am just awestruck with the craftsmanship of your pieces. Thanks for giving us the insight of what a true artist does
Great job, fine craftsmanship. And I love this style of video - no stupid music, no narration - just the shop sounds. I add this to my sleep sounds. Great stuff. Thanks.
Freerk, you know I think you're the man. I only say this for safety and nothing else. After being a furniture maker for a lot of years I mastered the table saw. The one thing I would suggest HIGHLY that you consider is a spoil block on your table saw fence when cross cutting. Just make it exactly 50mm or 2" or whatever you decide and clamp it to your fence on the near side and well away from the blade. Then set your fence that much further away in order to compensate for the block. That way when you move the material through the blade and the cut is made, the piece that was cut has NO CHANCE to launch like a missile back into your chest or face! Because wood that is stuck between the fence and a whirring blade with jagged teeth has a tendency to get ejected in a violent and instant manner. 👌 30:20 ...is what I'm talking about. - Thanks for the videos they truly inspire me to want to work with metal.
Nice to watch a master at work, love the real Damascus the care gone in to such well balanced blades. I could go on needless to say it’s always a delight to watch you and your work none of theses fake won’t to bes who insult your trade. Thank you and keep up the good work
freerk, thank you so much for posting the long videos that show so many additional processes. You are a master maker and an inspiration to us all. Joe from Texas
Un travail de maitre,j'adore votre travail,vos réalisation sont juste parfaite,je n'ose meme pas envisagé un prix,vu les chefs d"oeuvre ce ne doit pas etre donné!
I end up having to do the bevels later on the grinder. I try at the anvil, but because I am a novice it is never good enough and I have to re-detail it later. More practice needed!
@tinysim Theres nothing wrong with using mechanical tools in your work. Do you only use hand tools? I f you do then I'm impressed, but if not then you really need to stfu
a smith is just someone who makes things with iron or modern steels/metals. No reason to make someone feel bad because they aren't a master smith that can forge a bevel by hand, it takes years and years to be able to do that well and consistently.

You know the Master as he sets to do his work. Calm and deliberate he proceeds apace. His mindful purpose is to forge and bend this to his will. The Artist knows a sure stroke by the ring of the hammer, bringing forth the living beauty. Spun steel wrapped 'round- its inner soul shines forth. another piece by the Master.
For a second there I was wondering why you were doing a normalizing cycle on the billet... Then you go and make a rectangular billet into a squared billet and the lightbulb turned on for me. Helps prevent delamination when forging against the grain.
Freerk you are a true craftsman, and I cannot stop watching your videos. I would like to know where to see your work in person? Do you ever do knife shows? If so what country? Incredible!
Have you ever thought of using brass somewhere in the Handel or scabbard, not that they need it, just a thought, thanks for sharing you truly amazing talent.
You are My.... Favorite Forging Hero.... 👍 I wish.... I could have ordered some kitchen knife.... Japanese style.... Made by You.... But I don't think those are legal and allowed in India....
I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this before Freerk, but thanks for not including music in your videos. Most music I hear in videos is unnecessary and/or unpleasant. The sounds of construction are music enough.
I find it kinda relaxing without any music honestly.
I would upvote again if I could.
you're totally right !
I couldn't agree more.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Awesome work!
Great job, fine craftsmanship. And I love this style of video - no stupid music, no narration - just the shop sounds. I add this to my sleep sounds. Great stuff. Thanks.
I watched this in parts, and now I watch them in whole. Thanks for the quality content.
thanks.

Не могу найти слов,чтобы выразить восхищение,поэтому любуюсь молча.Супер,супер,супер...
We need about 20 of you for the apocalypse!! Awesomely done ✔️ true craftsmanship!!
Once again, fantastic skills. Thanks for sharing your build.😎🥃
i think im going to accidentally fall asleep at 3am and wake up at 5am with autoplay bringing me to one of this guy's videos
Nice to watch a master at work, love the real Damascus the care gone in to such well balanced blades. I could go on needless to say it’s always a delight to watch you and your work none of theses fake won’t to bes who insult your trade. Thank you and keep up the good work
Beautiful and symmetrical - a brilliant work.
Beautiful Work ❗️
I want them both ✨⚔️✨‼️
I could watch this level of craftsmanship all day. Bravo! 👏
Não tenho palavras pra dizer. Você é simplesmente o melhor nessa arte que já vi.👏👏👏👏👏👏
I just wanna say that watching you work has been so therapeutic for me thank you I hope someday I can work in a blacksmiths shop it would be my dream.
freerk, thank you so much for posting the long videos that show so many additional processes. You are a master maker and an inspiration to us all.

Un travail de maitre,j'adore votre travail,vos réalisation sont juste parfaite,je n'ose meme pas envisagé un prix,vu les chefs d"oeuvre ce ne doit pas etre donné!
for your reason I am beginning to assemble tools for the forge, I already have tongs and crooked anvil :)
man has talent that is one beautiful blade!
What a masterclass, want one for Christmas.
I will get one for Christmas... 😛
It's nice to see a forged bevel. So many modern "smiths" spend hours on the belt sander shaping their blades.
I end up having to do the bevels later on the grinder. I try at the anvil, but because I am a novice it is never good enough and I have to re-detail it later. More practice needed!

Always perfection! AWSOME!
I LOVE the first one but both are gorgeous!
O cara é muito bom. Produz uma arte atrás da outra. Espero um dia aprender um pouco de algumas dessas técnicas.
WOW! Very nice!!! Great design and the craftsmanship is one of the best!!! I would love to own one of these.....
Deserve a loving heart🥰💝
You are creative .. You are an artist .. You are a professional .. Thank you from Iraq 🇮🇶✌🏻🌹
Would love to see a knightly sword that matched the dual daggers
Pretty sure thats the 1st smile ive seen on this channel lol
2:44
You did it! You made a matching set of smallish blades! Man, they're the epitome of perfection.
A chisel in the shape of the blade...
Thats just genius. Probably the best thing I've seen in like any of these videos
im pretty confident, that this thing glows when orks are nearby

И увидя свет убегают.
Maybe all steel swords and knives do but since orcs aren't real we just haven't found out yet
I can't take my eyes off your video
It's always nice to see someone who cleans up before moving on to the next step.
Nice work on your drawing. I love to watch your videos! Jack
Beautiful work your a true craftsman.
Great dagger! The bottom of the sheath is also necessary to put on a metal shield. The lock on the scabbard and dagger would not fall out.
It was very interesting to watch you work!
best pattern on the blades yet, great daggers! : )
For some weird reason I like to watch your videos before sleep. Somehow, they relax me :)
Same here
beautiful work respect .
Отличная работа!
Really glad I found your channel, mate. Been learning a lot from you.
Keep it up :)
omg I love these! So nice, great job here!!!
Really best work. Awesome! Bravo ...
Absolutely amazing craftsmanship
Great video, thank you for your fine demonstration!
Wow they are so beautiful seriously amazing job
There is a bit of waitign around as the metal heats up to the right temperature...Nice pattern..nice balance...nice project thanks for showign.
Excellent work top notch thumbs up 👍
Oh so beautiful!

Excelente.!!!! Sin palabras👍
Браво...шикарные клинки ...мастеру лайк ! Сколько стоит скажите !!!
Thank you for the amazing videos!!!!!

This one was really wholesome!
Jesus that's a big surface grinder, I didn't know they made them that big
How many layer was the Damascus? I love those weapons. They are both beautiful and functional.
Beautiful....
Realy good my respect. Good job.
Freerk you are a true craftsman, and I cannot stop watching your videos. I would like to know where to see your work in person? Do you ever do knife shows? If so what country? Incredible!
Holy shit, I thought build videos only came in snippets with 76 parts! Nice man. Nice.
Beautiful craftsmanship
Great effort! A true masterpiece! Respect!
Echt Prachtig wat jij creeert ! Oerdegelijke Dagger ! Helemaal mijn smaak !
uhhh - those are amazing - and i like your video style.... +1 sub
Such an amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
say that it is a master piece is not enough !
Have you ever thought of using brass somewhere in the Handel or scabbard, not that they need it, just a thought, thanks for sharing you truly amazing talent.
I really really want those! Or one at least. They are awesome.
I love this.
awesome craftsmanship. respect.
You make the "sickest", most bad ass blades I've seen. You Sir are talented. Wish I could afford something like this. Keep up the great work.
Honestly, i have no clue who would put you dislikes. What level of skills and knowledge one has to posess to see how you screw things up
Well done 👍
真好看的劍柄
результат офигительный
I really enjoy the Damascus patterns of his blades
реально мастер.руки золотые
love for this guy to be the one who figures out wootz... others claim to have,,but they're full of it.
chế tạo con dao găm mà kì công quá , mất mấy ngày mới hoàng thành ..
Молодец! мастер своего дела,в за хлеб смотрел ролик.
Excelente...
thanks for sharing this amazing video.
good looking knives. Great job. The sheath though does not look like there is a lock or secure for the daggers.
good work
Ты очень класно сделал
Просто супер
Ставлю лайк 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Мне очень понравилась ваша работа. Если есть возможность купить этот нож уточните цену. Зарание спасибо!
Beautiful knife
Very nice
You sir, have a beautiful beard.
fantastic

You are My.... Favorite Forging Hero.... 👍
I wish.... I could have ordered some kitchen knife.... Japanese style.... Made by You.... But I don't think those are legal and allowed in India....
Превосходная работа приятно посмотреть.
Nice work !!
Very good... good work.
Magnifique, superbe travail, bravo!
