I've been a welder fabricator for 1 year and now I'm getting into blacksmithing. This has been a huge lesson! Thank you.

The 5 dislikes must be from forged in fire contenders you sent home. Awesome video!

Thank You...I have a burning desire to forge my own blade. This information is invaluable.

Thanks for this gem. I like how common sense and basic logic intersect with facts and experience in your videos. Makes it real easy to learn 👍

I wish I would have heard this advice 10 years ago. I waisted way too much time on mystery steel and eventually lost interest in the ordeal. This video has renewed my inspiration.

It’s nice to have someone who doesn’t just repeat what he has heard. You’ve obviously done a ton of metallurgical homework. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for dropping knowledge on us Apprentice Smiths!

Jason this is so valuable to all of us, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

Great video great info. Keep them rolling!!!

AMAZING!!! I am so glad you made this video!

Thanks for the knowledge Jason

Thank you Jason. I've been doing my research, but there's so much to learn, and the amount of information just makes my head spin. Again thank you

Thank you for explaining things in a simple down to earth manner...I look forward to watching all your videos that you and your team put out 👍👍

This channel should definitely have more than its current subs! Thanks for the content Jason, very informative to us fellow makers.

Outstanding info thank you. Finished my first friction folder.

Loving your channel. Thanks for doing it.

Great examples of knife mastery, and teaching skills. It was the best knowledge. Thank you

Thank you so much for putting this out. I'm just starting to get into smithing to the point where I haven't even been able to make anything yet. And this has helped me a lot to know what kind of still I should get.

Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

Excellent. Thank you for your expertise.

Thanks for the video! It was helpful.

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and thought. It's much appreciated.

Very cool to hear the knowledge being spread! Im a supreme novice and super interested in bladesmithing. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing invaluable information!

I enjoy your honesty about what you know and what you don't know. No bragging.

Thanks for sharing all these tricks&tips

Thank you for a brilliant informative video 👍👍👍

Great video ! The information you gave was very educational. Thank you

Such great info! I wish I wouldve heard this years ago. Just now starting to use 80crv2 after years of forging. You are right about it.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Excellent and informative. Thanks for sharing the wisdom from the rockstar of bladesmiths.

Just ordered 2 flat bars of 80crv2 thanks appreciate what you do ! BE A MAKER !!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!

Very informative. Blessings and Thank you.🤙

Just wanted to say thank you. Just started building my first forge and look forward to applying the knowledge you so kindly shared. Much appreciated!

The spring that you showed as 1084 is a rail clip. It is used to keep the rail from moving (due to thermal expansion and contraction) causing sun kinks and broken rail.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Super fun hobby and I've learned a lot from you. Keep posting and I'll keep watching.

Great info, thanks.

Thanks for help along the maker journey!

Thank you so much for this insight! I started smithing a few months ago and all Ive been using was spring steel (had some on the property), 1095, and 15N20. Ive been wanting to start using other steels and I just didnt know where to go. Thank you so much Sir!

Try to watch your videos as as often as possible. New to knife making, been forging about 4 years mostly making tools. Great info. Please keep them coming. Learning a lot. Thank you

Great mindset, Jason. Thanks for sharing. I only disagreed on one thing... "I could keep on going on and on abou this stuff but..." Mr. Knight! Please, go on about this stuff! You have all this incredibly curious, precious, robust and elegant knowledge. Make webinars, teach classes, reach as many people as you can. You ARE already changing the world. Beautifully!

2:35 This is one of the reasons I love you brother, thank you so much for all of your videos; they work

Awsome info man

Thank you. Answered a lot for questions for me.

Good and encouraging information.

Awesome video, I really like it. I'm just starting with knife making, only doing stock removal and I have chosen 80CrV2 for my next knife because I saw you talking about it in some previous video and so I did some research. Continue doing such a good content

Great video it answered questions I had. I'm currently planning my forge build and gathering knowledge. Thank you sir!

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

Thank you sir . You inspire me greatly

I loved this video!

Stainless like AEB-L spank 80CRV2 in every aspect according to latest metallurgy lab test... higher toughness at similar hardness, higher wear resistance, and far better corrosion resistance.

Stainless is a bear to forge with though, tough to move and decarbs.

Great content, thanks

Thank you for all these great videos. They are very helpful for beginners like me

Jason, I'm really enjoying your KZread series, thank you for doing them. I've been a fan of yours since you were a judge on Forged in Fire! Looking forward to what is next!

Thanks , i realy like your straight forwardness and all your knowledge

I deeply appreciate your sharing your knowledge,I myself like to work smarter not harder,as you said our time is valuable,so if I can pick up a great tip on working with steel it is deeply appreciated,thank you for your knowledge.!!!!

Thank you for doing these videos. I'm just starting out at bladesmithing and live in a small town so this is the only way I can get the information. Again thank you for doing this

Thx for the great video lots of good information

Great video, wow lot's of excellent info here!

I recently became a sub. And from the first time I saw what and how you do your videos I'm a fan. I'm seriously interested in getting started. Hoping to get in a class this fall. I have an anvil that belonged to my grandfather, and I am buying used tongs and other tools that are nearing 100 years old. Excited to get into this great hobby/ way of life. Thanks for all that you do

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you for the education

When you posted this I was forging 80crv2. I love this steel and the only other steels I use are the w2 and Hiatachi 1085. I love all of them but, my favorite is the 80crv2. I tried it after it was recommended by you ! Thanks for the sound advise.

What's your opinion on 52100? My favorite user knife, is made from ballbearing steel and I like it more than my 80crv2 knives. I would say, that ballbearing is more suitable for small and medium size blades and 89crv2 for large. I could be wrong though, because I;m a user and nor a knifemaker. Happy new Year!!

You just turned my whole world around... loved the style of the video by the way.

Mr. Knight, hands down, this was the most informative video I’ve seen on basic steel. No nonsense, no bs and explained in such a way that even a “metallurgy moron” like myself can understand. Thank you!

Thanks again........Jason...no fubar is very good...!

Hello Sir, I've just subscribed. I appreciate the fact that there is very little ego in your video's. Practical info, useful and observable techniques. Sincere thanks to you. Blessings to you and yours.

First of all I would like to say that I think that you are an amazing Smith I truly appreciate everything that you post and I really enjoy the videos thank you for sharing your knowledge

Just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of forged in fire and am hoping to get into smithing myself after I learn welding for my first full time trade. Seeing that you posted a video explaining what steel is better for beginners etc made my day and I look forward to more forged in fire, more smithing videos and hope having you judge one of my blades someday

Very informative and straightforward. It t makes perfect sense and I have some good bar stock coming in soon. Thank you for the tips Mr. Knight

Perfect man these are the actual questions I've been asking and nobody wanted to give me an actual clear answer you finally did it in this video. #1

Please keep making these videos, picked up more knowledge in these videos then any other I watch

Great video with a good philosophy for eliminating some of the variables. Thanks.

Thank you so very much!!! Love videos I learn a lot from them!

I've watched every episode of Forged in Fire since it started. I always thought I would love knife making. I made/forged my first knife on July 24, 2021 at Resilience Forge with Kyle Gahagan and was in love with forging knives. I desire to Be a Maker. Your Videos are Great with Info for Beginners. I've also started listening to your podcasts. Thank You for Sharing Your Knowledge!

Thank you for transmit your knowledge. Miss you on the show( Forged in fire). Hello from Brasil.

Always enjoy your content. Something you've said earlier this year that has really hit home. "Cheap things are expensive" I think this rings true to what you've talked about here.

Thankyou sir, tis right nice to get just plain good advice.

I watched your video with great interest I never knew there was so much involved in step, thank you

Great info. The uncommon stuff is great for learning and trying different things and then replicating that into a known steel. Nice shirt, Mine just showed up. Thank your whole crew.

That was exactly on my mind. (I categorize myself as an "advanced beginner" because I've only been forging steel for about 3 years but i have also been teaching/supervising/production forging for about 3 years...) I've been banging on some free truck spring and learning pre-form, profilling, tapering, beveling, etc... I still feel like I have basic things to learn from "junk" steel because I don't have a lot if money right now as well...

@RedWest2010

Glad someone else is on the same page :) Can't disagree, nor would I be qualified to do so, with anything he said. All sound advice and based in knowledge I only wish I had. But that $40 piece of 80CRV2 is before shipping, and it's a few feet long. I pick a 3" wide spring that is "likely" 5160, and it gives me 30 linear feet of steel to work with in 1.5" billets. For someone who doesn't know what he's doing and has only been blacksmithing for about a year, I'd much rather learn and experiment at $1.00 per blade. And if I get lucky and it's clean 5160 and heat treats accordingly, I may just end up scoring. But you go into it knowing you're gambling, but practicing. If the day ever comes that I'm making a blade to sell, then all that goes out the window and we're back to the 80CRV2 for a sellable quality product.

Thanks Jason it did help.

Thank you for all the information it is very helpful

Enjoyed the video as always. I think you’ve sold me on the crv2, you have definitely nailed it on the time issue with mystery steel. I’m relatively new to forging and the time taken to figure out a decent heat treat of unknown steel adds up quick, sometimes to find out I can’t get one on whatever chunk I’ve got. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your opinion.

Thanks this answered questions without me asking. Just subscribed

So helpful thanks dude ...👍

Appreciate the info. Thanks!
