Jason has the ability to explain and remain natural, not trying too hard to be funny or sensational. A really instructive, pleasant, and enjoyable channel.

Watching you establish the two tapers and your bevels all with and on the hammers was, honest to God, a wish come true. I have watched many a smithing video and I've never seen it done so thoroughly, or carefully, anywhere. Thank you, sir Knight, for making an old man's wish come true. Damn fine camera work! Looking forward to seeing you finish it

This channel is gold.

Your blacksmithing skills are insane, and I mean that only positively. I've seen a lot of people forging, but you're the first one I see who is at a much higher level than my teacher who has forged for over 40 years. You would like him if he hadn't died a few years ago and had ever spoken a language other than German. But if I think more carefully, there is a common language, the language of the singing hammer. He spoke it, you speak it and I understand it a little ;-) Sry for my bad english, I had to use google to write this comment.

Jason, between the FORGED instructional videos and your KZread videos, you have established yourself as one of the top instructors for bladesmithing. I am proud to be your student. Thank you.

Fantastic! Also, your video team do a wonderful job of getting in there and making it really easy to see what you're doing, and how the metal is moving.

Extremely educational content. Thank you for sharing Jason. It’s greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

Man... this is so good! Love watching a master at work!

I waiting and waiting and waiting, no 2 yet. Nice videos? No Great. I just heard a voice back in my head "A matching pair"!

Incredible session as usual. Love the interplay between power hammer and hand hammer.

Can’t wait for part 2 ! Enjoying the videos thx!

Great video, learnt loads again, great camera work to, top class

Amazing job sir. Once again you prove how great a bladesmith you are. Cannot wait to see how this ends up.

Hahaha that's a great pencil sharpener! Awesome video jason as always ! Hopefully you do a live stream this weekend !

Outstanding ! Im working on my 2nd wakizashi now, longer blade and a recurved handle. Great work Jason!

Brilliant to watch you Jason. 🇬🇧👍👍

I always did love to watch you play.

I like the close up real time blows. This helps me understand how the direction of your hammer and face of hammer moves steel.

The quality of the videos keeps getting noticeably better. Really like what they did there with the camera following the power hammer. As always great quality craftsmanship! Keep em coming to stave off the quarantine boredom.

Excellent!!! I like your presentation style as in no nonsense and unnecessary babble,clear technique and process without hype and gloss!!!

Mr Knight thank you again for another amazing Video!

Best effects in the video work I've seen in a smithing video. Props!

It's the Apocozashi! Love it, I've made short swords out of rail clips.

Soundtrack is just something! Loving your videos, master Knight!

So nice to see the metal moving and how you are guiding the shape. The shop in CA I go to for forging classes is on hiatus due to shelter in place and I’m missing hitting metal. Props to you and your camera guys.

Good work Done 👍

Right on my low country brother .... great to see your success after these years

This is one of my favorite channels

I use this stuff all the time. I am glad that you said about the normalizing comment because I was blasted on a blacksmithing page on facebook saying I was wasting my time and fuel because when it reaches 800 degrees the steel doesn't remember what it is anymore. But I kept saying no you want to normalize. Then was told I didn't know what I was talking about lol

You're just going to leave me hanging after all this???? Honestly, I love your videos. They have a lot of quality production value and I really like your personality. Once I find a place in Cincinnati to set up a small work area I'll be buying your online class for sure.

Intense music! Loved the shot that followed the power hammer up and down a few times!! Awesome video as always^^ GG Well played!

Ive made stuff out of the spring clips before, and man are they tough to work with but strong as hell. Im hooked already 🤘

Great channel. Production level and editing are top notch quality. Your natural ability in front of the camera is terrific.

Love your videos! Started following you recently on here on Instagram after becoming completely obsessed with Forged in Fire! You and that show have inspired me to get into this craft. With a very strong welding and fabrication I think this will give me a pretty good jumpstart!

it's amazing you share you'r knowledge whit us sir thanks alot

Man jason is a fucking boss. We need tons more of these mysterious metal challenges.

Best pencil sharpener ever!

With your production value, skill, and comedic ability alone, you should have 10 times more views

That material looks difficult to move even under the power hammer. I really enjoy your channel for it’s production quality, entertainment value, and the opportunity to learn a thing or two. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

Looks beautiful already

in the UK those are round and they are used to tie rail track to the hardware in sleepers , really hard steel to hard in fact to weld without pre heating , it just snaps either side of a weld i made a rotating sculpture out of some once, they serve a similar purpose in the states i assume just a different shape from an older system of laying track.

@tehbonehead

In the US they're called "Rail Anchors" those look like Unit Spring type. Fairly tough stuff. As to the shape, there are several popular types used in different applications and to the preference of the particular railroad...

It's a rail tie clip we call them dogs. They're place on the underside of a railroad track next to the ties to keep the ties from sliding.

I have enjoyed watching you work for a few months now and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the talent and composer you exhibit. I am not trying to be cynical, although I will sounds it. I have not seen a blade yet, just shaped steel. Do you have plans to show any of the finishing because I , and i'm sure others, would enjoy seeing what and how you get from these beautiful shapes to a finished blade. All stated, I will anticipate your future videos and continue to enjoy past videos i have yet to watch. from a forge aspirant in Wisconsin, keep up the fantastic work Sir Knight!

Hi Jason lovely work there bud.That is called a rail clip if I were a betting man I would have said 1060 as the steel type funny we also use the round types around these parts and I picked up a bunch of them just 2 days ago.

I got my first forge going last nigh It's a cast iron sink I got from work packed with dirt right now but it works. I was so excited when saw scale falling off when I was working. I've never seen my steel so hot before

I love the Hawaii 5O music at 15:00.

I had a friend give me seven of those pieces of that steel you used for this video, I'm excited to try to make something out of them now

Those hammer swings alone are fun to watch.

Dope vid series

Waaaayyy better than forged in fire. All the content, none of the drama BS.

Thanks for shering.

I love working with spring clips. I’ve made lots of blades and tools out of them.

No Sleep till Hammersmith! :) Great Work! Will you do some differential hardening, or just heating up and Quenching?

Absolutely bad ass

You should make a video with tiger lily

Great shape! Any zombie would happily want to go out this way!!🧟‍♂️

The fireproof wooden ruler. A classic blacksmithing tool.

The camera tracers were a nice touch 🤘. What are you doing with that Sabian cymbal? lol. Looks like a large splash or small crash 😅

I've been looking forward to this video. Quick question. Around the 6 min mark could you use the vice to flatten the metal instead of the hammer or were you looking for more info on what type of metal it was?

Those are anchors used to keep wooden RR ties from moving and sliding once they are spiked. They’re mainly used close to railroad switches and frogs.

I REALLY wish he was still a judge on Forged in Fire when they started having the competitors compete against a judge. He would have wiped the floor with them!

Never had the opportunity to see hot steel in person and was curious if it bothers your eyes after staring at it for awhile? Always wondered , been binging forged in fire , lol.

Great video ! And it will be a awesome wakizashi ... do you know some smith in Canada... or even in Québec 😅

Wicked knife 😁😎

Dude! Quick question that’s totally unrelated to this particular video. You posted a vid about folks freaking out about a 1200.00 chefs knife. That knife you held in that video has a bevel right at the heel/choyle. How do you do that? Is it hammered in or ground. I’m struggling with that particular spot.

Hey there! Just subscribed, can't believe I follow like four other blacksmithing channels and never ran into you. Your work is amazing, and honestly the way you present and explain it, so great. If I can make one little suggestion, it's that it would be great if the music was a bit lower when you're talking. It's not bad enough to drown out your voice, but I think it would fit better with a little less volume. Just a thought, and a very minor nitpick, but regardless, amazing content, man, you got a sub for the long run ;)

I can't wait to see how it turns out. I got a bucket full of various railroad steel, including those rail anchors. I was thinking of doing a bearded axe made from 2 spikes with a rail bit for the edge.

If I remember right, those rail clips should be right around 1060 per AAR regulation.

Track anchors are 400 series steel which I use to make knives. I like it!

Music 🎶 definitely a nice Touch

Hi Jason, after straightening you let it cool down. Is that to stress relief or for grain size or what is the reason? Sorry if you mentioned why, I missed it. Thanks, Bjorn

Those clips are actually railroad track anchors and they normally are used to control expansion and contraction of the rails. The railroads put an anchor on both sides of every tie for this purpose

I wish there were more links when Jason brings up other blacksmith their Facebook and Instagram

THAT'S A BAD ASS SWORD

Great hammer work, I like the shape. Once you've completed it you can ship it to me. LOL

Hey Jason! You have to make one katana with the traditional ways, with tamahagane!!!

Wicked dumb question...But will this be available??
