I am not a big one for commenting on videos, but as a maker myself I really admire your philosophy of sharing your craft and being generous with information. We need more of that in this world. Also encouraging folks to just do it really is key. Thank you.

Our society is failing with higher failucation we need to bring back apprenticeships for almost all jobs not just crafting. I mean all jobs for lawyers to doctors to teachers nurses colleges are a plague

I couldn't agree more. The "i don't wanna give up my originality" mentality is ridiculous. This man is a legend in his own right. He inspired me a couple years ago, and I go back and rewatch things on a regular basis...a lot of times on mute. Watching the technique is invaluable once you've heard the description. (And understand what he was talking about) Only thing I will say, is the only reason I use wd-40 when I do, is using oil soluble lapping paste for final polish. Rolled Stainless sheet, .1 micron paste, and wd-40 has gotten me the cleanest finish I've been able to attain.

Love how you constantly advocate for actually getting up and actually MAKING. Need more people like that.

“Never made a perfect knife”. Just keep trying is the best advice I’ve heard

Thank you for making long-form videos and explaining in so much detail what you're doing and why. I have been frustrated with other youtubers who make videos that are either primarily for entertainment, or are long-form videos of their process but with little to no education.

Love that you push getting off our butts a make something. You have given me a push that has added time that I enjoy. Keep pushing us, being a maker is time well spent...

My son and I REALLY APPRECIATE you and your videos. Our knives aren't perfect yet, but we're up and making!

I love your attitude and how you pretty much tell people how it is and not really hold back about getting off their butts and actually doing something.

Jason Knight doing it Right! Great and informative videos. 👍👍🗡🗡🗡

"Keep making knives until the money runs out." I love your light-hearted honesty. I'm actively educating myself at starting a business AND forging knives, and don't really expect the two subjects to intersect. The business will (hopefully) pay for me to enjoy forging knives. If I can sell knives and break even on materials and propane, then I'll consider myself victorious.

Its cool that as I improve as a knifemaker and come back to these videos I pick up different tips than what I did the last time I watched it. Thank you Jason Knight!

i just did the exact same thing + i can make my own damascus now which makes it even more interesting and allows me to find new thing the second time around.

Love your marking sound effects LOL.

Thanks man really enjoyed the lessons you passed on to us beginners, I’m just starting at 65 years old , but have loved knives of all sorts all my life. Thanks again.

He is just like my high school shop teacher. Sprinkling great information through a long passive aggressive rant about whatever. I could listen to this for hours. 🤣

Perfect is close to possible or vice versa, depends on determination. Your make the coolest blades. My 14 year old is learning forging the past year, and is doing great. He would be a master blade smith in time.

Man I love your videos..I like the information you share with the other makers out there and the way you do it. Many greetings from a young knife maker from Greece!

When someone loves what they do it shows in there work!!!

I think great art is like children no two are alike but are a pleasure 2 behold. thanx a bunch.

You've inspired me to build my first forge and get my first avil. I hope to eventually be a top South Carolina knife maker one day.

Have to try this technique... as a new maker I'm not even close to ready, but this gives me something to look forward to achieving, thank you

Great process man, thanks for the video. Ill be doing the same phase very soon on my current knife build in the latest series.

Thank you for making that mistake on the touch mark, because watching you fix it taught me a few things I needed to see!

A good blend of grumpy and caring. I like it hahaha! subbed mr!

I have a 165 layer billet waiting for me to try this technique out. Thank you Jason.

Another great teaching Vid, thanks Mate :)

I've listened to the unabridged version of the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion more times than I'm willing to admit on a public forum. Makes my commute much more bearable. Great video Jason, thanks. These kinds of videos are the best.

Came for the knife making tips, stayed for the Lord of the Rings talk! Seriously though, awesome video and such a beautiful knife

i am making knive for 2 year non and 80% of what i know about making knive is from video. Your video are so much knowledge dense, i learn more in a 5 minutes video from you than most hour long video from other. Thank you . Hope what i say make a bit of sense in english since i am a french canadian.

Love how you share and almost always say, that may not be right, or that may not make sense. As someone who has spent a lot of time cutting things in kitchens, I prefer no plunge grind, just nothing but edge on a chef knife

Takes some amount of courage to always seek new ways to do the same things. I feel that it can be the best teacher. When it screws up your stuff, a lesson I have passed. When it works well, I feel like I get another gold star next to my name. Either way I feel like I smarter at what I do.

Yup, the "plunge line" doesn't really show up at all in the finished blade. The knife looks absolutely amazing. If I had the money, I would be more than proud to have it in my kitchen. Very well done, Mr. Knight. Edit: BTW, if your trying to show how to do things, have your canera guy/editor switch to the second camera showing what you're doing more. That would be super helpful. Thanks.

As always thank you!!!! Definitely appreciate people who don't take there knowledge to the grave!!! It's so important to learn from one another. Have a good day brother

Really appreciate all you do for all of us novice knife makers. Awesome video and great tips thanks.

Love to see how you made that handle and finished it. Sanding a blade by hand seems to be the most time consuming part of making a blade. Kinda of a nice escape from the world.

P.S. Thank you from 🇨🇦

I don't know how to say this... Your work is GREAT! Thank you for sharing. Going back to my blade. Good day!

GREAT idea with the audio books

Man I love you and your style brother-thanks for the share!

Thanks Jason for all the great videos. I learned a lot from Forged in Fire, but I learn so much more from your videos. I really appreciate that someone of your capabilities will take the time to teach. That is a beautiful piece of work btw.

Chef knife with a shark fin. That's style baby. Pretty knife.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻

got some pointers from this Thank you sir,

Don't need a car or anything else in the end if you have done the foot work .you will be the wiser .love ya Jason Henry dogs friend .

Yeah the rusty erasers are beautiful are they.

I love Jason’s Philsophyizs!

Great information for when I finally manage to get a billet of damascus to work without delaminations.

Thanks for the video. I'm forging my first damascus piece next and I'm really excited to try your technique on it. Also love your nonchalant attitude towards the whole knife making business. I just like to make knives for people who enjoy using them and if I someday get some money out of it to pay for the materials that went in, I'll call it a win.

Thank you as always!!!!

The hours I've spent hand sanding because I did not have a 2x72 grinder taught me alot. And now that i have my reeder grinder I still hand sand but it goes way faster now!

After watching Jason's videos I always learn something small that I didn't know I needed to learn. Like increasing the surface area increases the stiffness at the tip. Kinda knew that rounding it did something but never understood what or why never knew if I should round the spine or not. Great stuff.

Beautiful Knife Jason, love your content.

Great looking knife

...your teaching style works for teaching any artistic genre...great job....

Hey Bubba thanks.

My goodness gracious! That finished knife was gorgeous.

Thank you Jason I started bladesmithing after the first episode of Forged in fire and I haven't stopped yet ! Thank you for your information it has been a great amount of help. I have been doing it now for 5 years and I love picking up new ideas and tips on making Blades and axes. Your a great teacher and mentor keep up the great work. 2020 has been a pain but on the good side I have been in my forge almost every day hammering out new blades and teaching when I can. I always like to give back when I can.

The sound effects nearly killed me; so funny!

Just absolutely beautiful love your work

Thank you for sharing... I’m going to get myself a press so will be checking back on your vids

There's a version of the Silmarrilion being read by Chistpher Lee here on the tube. You might like the Tales of the Otori (fuedal Japan/Samaria). Nice knives, thanks. Very entertaining.

just bought a rounding hammer and a two burner forge i have an anvil that my dad helped me refurbish i look forward to taking the advice from these videos and working my way to becoming a true maker

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the many helpful tips. Cheers Peter

Beautiful blade! Thanks for sharing..

This is super helpful information. I will definitely put it to use. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge.

Coffee etching works really good also.

Absolutely awesome video. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge. That knife is gorgeous.

Beautiful work

That was one beautiful knife. I know I'm 2 years late to the party but damn. Makes me yearn to go start up this trade!

Wow!!!! Such a beautiful knife.

Education is awesome! Thank you

Looks incredible

This was very insightful, as I didnt know how to finish my very first successful Damascus attempt. Thank you Mr. Knight!

Great stuff. I appreciate it.

Thanks for posting this. I’m about to try my first Damascus here pretty quick.

Absolutely awesome blade! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Super video, lot learned, thank you sir

thanks for sharing

i love this style very versatile.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, i shall put it to good use

Absolutely gorgeous knife!

Very nice and simple technique for finishing a forged damascus chef's knife. Hope you make a bunch with Christmas coming as they will not stay on the shelves for long. Good luck and peace too. VF

I love the work and the videos.

Great work

just watching and learning

Nice, thank you.

I enjoy your videos. Very real.

I’ve watched forged in fire for years, has been one of my favorite shows, I’m a second generation welder and fabricator, learned most of it from my dad, recently with all the covid stuff going on and not being able to have much for work I started doing a bunch of crafts in my garage I had always thought was cool, and one of them is I started making some knives, I’m far from great at it but I try learning more every time I do, if I can figure out how to add some pics I will

Wonderfull!

Thanks alot for this one in particular. I just finished a chefs knife and may have went a little deep with the etch. Thanks for what you do for all of us other makers. Thanks, Zane B&B Forge

Great blade I'm a full time truck driver trying to make blades on the weekend at home love your videos

Beautiful blade. Great timing too. I hame my first twist damascus that I have to etch. I hope that I can get at it tonight.

Books on tape!!! I love it, thanks for the great videos! I used a bunch of this on my first chefs knife, plain carbon. Turned out pretty good if I say so myself!

Thank you! I have a damascus blade that I've been trying to get the etch right on. I will be doing these steps and can't wait to see the difference.

Beautiful chef knife. You are a master.

Great video thanks for taking the time to explain. im working on my first billet of Damascus now, just finished the first stack now cutting and restacking. Saved this video so I can watch it again when its time to finish. watched almost every video of yours, love how you teach its more of a real world approach

VERY nice Damascus blade! Beautiful, bold pattern!

Good stuff.

Good stuff!

You are inspiring good stuff

Watching you burnishing the spine reminds me of burnishing the edges of zinc plates in printmaking class in college. The burnishing tools were awesome... I've even used mine in pottery to get that smooth shinny surface.

Always informative , great tips! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare þe ure maegen lytlað"
