months of watching videos, this is the best by far showing everything. THOSE HAMMER BLOWS BRUH. such a small frame guy and DAMN probably causing tsunamis in the Philippines with those.

Jordy, I never write comments cause I'm a proud lurker but it is crucial that you understand how important you and your videos are to beginner blacksmiths like me. I appreciate the detail of your explanations and how well-edited the whole video was. Thank you for teaching me and others.

Thanks I try really hard 💪🏼

An INSTANT SUBSCRIBE my friend! Absolutely well done! Your explanations of each step of the process is genius and very insightful. I have made one knife, been working on my second for a hot year 😢 will finish soon (me hope's) I will check out the rest of your stuff. I have one video on making a fire poker. It's a little older and have since gotten way better. Keep hitting the metal and I will keep watching! Again thanks for the video, very informative and I will remember your teachings. - a Padawan learner

This is awesome. Tempting me to fly down there for a course.

My shop is located on my family cattle ranch, feel free to camp out 🏕️

Thanks for the tutorial. Would enjoy seeing how you accomplish a forced patina. Handling methods for that style of knife as well.

I’ll make a video for sure 👍🏼

This is very similar to the way I prefer to forge blades, except I forge the tip back in the opposite direction. I like your saying -we are bladesmiths not knife maker's I need to post that in my smithy. Keep up the good work godbless and be safe.

did you edit the barking in on hammer strikes or your dog barks on every strike lol HAHA, but besides that maybe the best video on the internet of how to brute de forge a chef... THANK YOU

Really enjoyed this video, ive watched hundreds of videos online now, my forge is all set up ready to go i just havent made the jump yet. This video has pushed me closer to starting sooner rather than later. I never knew you needed to warm up the anvil, makes total sense after hearing it, im in the UK and its cold and wet 110% of the time so glad i know this now. Subscribed and looking forward to watching every single one of your videos. I have one question, you say about bringing the knife down to around 200 degrees, (Fahrenheit im guessing as youre US). If i dont have any way of measuring the temperatures. How long am i looking to get it A- up to temp, and B- cooled down enough. Same for up to temp on the normalising?

What Doug do for annnealing?

When forging bevels are you starting from center and move towards edge or is it other way around? You also do not touch the spine, right?

Is that a copper wort chiller?
