I just have to say how much I love this new(?) series. Crafting has always held a special place in my heart. Being able to create something so beautiful out of raw materials. And being able to get a glimpse into a crafter's trade, being able to hear their passion for their craft is just so beautiful and wondrous to me! Keep up the good work! :) Also, that paring knife is so gorgeous.

HANDMADE Incredible series! Loved the one about Plates also! Thanks!

Thanks for the look int the life of an artist, I love knives and his blades look amazing.

​@@RoivonPC Her main knives are just ground from horseshoe files, no forging, no heat treats. And as an aesthetic choice she retains the raspy edge where your fingers would wrap the blade in a pinch-grip, which is a truly bizarre decision. Plus the profile of her blades are also strange, big sweeping rounded shape that would only work for rocking and not for any other techniques like push, pull, slicing. And for all that she quotes 800+ dollars, which in a free market sure whatever. But when compared to dozens of other options out there, incl those made by people who've spent decades specializing at forging, sharpening, handle-making, that are readily available for 300 dollars, her prices become absurd. As for the ad hominem breed of comments, she is an attractive woman who appears to have welcomed the attention by inviting a number of different camera crews to promote herself over the years. This raised her profile, which raised awareness of her work explained above. And in the land of the internet, that combination will always draw extra heat that she partly deserves but also largely unfair.

Will is an absolute badass and master of his craft. I've purchased multiple knives from him and will continue to do so.

A wonderful man, a wonderful product, and a wonderful video. Thank you.

@Eater: I really love this video!

@@eversforgeworks Actually you can make very good knives from rasps, given that they have a decent amount of carbon. The problem with Chelsea Miller is that she merely grinds them down then doesn't heat treat them. Files, saws from mills, leaf springs can make good knives.

amazing attention to detail.

A1 keep on truckin. Your work will live on..

2:50 Sorry man, but it's the exact opposite. Smaller grains, hard/brittle metal. Bigger grains, soft/ductile metal. The reason why you use forging instead of casting is because deforming the metal (hammering it) creates dislocations within the grains (THAT takes too long to explain), and the higher the dislocation density the lower the ductility. It's a bit like, if you let steel cool down slowly, all the atoms will be where they want to be and the steel is pretty ductile. If you mess with the atoms in any way (quenching = not giving them time to move / deformation = making them move by force), you get more brittle steel. (Metallurgical engineer here 👋)

Respect great job

An extremely well made video. Kudos to the team that filmed and edited it. Will Griffin's passion comes across so intensely.

Respect!

I really like the look of the paring knife... It looks like a neck knife or a boot knife.

I love the chef perspective in designing the knives. I hate the lack of metallurgy knowledge. Grain distribution is better when molded not by hammering. The gain or crystal size are larger if cooling time is slower and smaller if cooling is done faster. Mold and stamped products can be superior because the composition is more precise and the grain is more uniform. The heat treatment process is more important in determining the durability and hardness of the blade not some mythical sense. Machine can make better knives for a fraction of the cost to manufacture. They should be honest with their pricing. 10% design and manufacturing 90% beliefs. Ps. Machine grinding should be done before the quench and tempering. He is going to have quality control issue as he does all his grins and sharpening after his heat treatment.

I do agree with most things you said, but you have to consider that plastic deformation also increases hardness of steel or anything for that matter. Therefore hammering it does make sense and will most likely lead to the better knife. To be fair, the value you get out of these knifes isn't great, because of all the hours of work that go into the making. Most people are better of machine forged knifes.

No idea how I got here but this is a very interesting video 👌

God, I absolutely love the juxtaposition of the dark, raw look to parts of the steel in some of these knoves (the natural steel grain along the spine, as opposed to an all-over mirror finish,) directly next to/combined with the extreme refinement and careful honing of the blade, and the clean, carefully formed wooden hand scales... It's just such a fascinating and gorgeous aesthetic. This is undeniably art, and what fantastically beautiful work it is.

I enjoyed Your video very much ! I grew up on a farm in Mid. Tn. My Grandfather once owned that farm . He must have been quite a Man ( I never knew Him , He died the yr. before I was born ) . He was by all accounts a " Jack of all trades " . He must have mastered at least a few . He owned a post office , grist mill , two farns , and a country store . He was a farmer , and part time Blacksmith . I was raised by My Aunt ( His Daughter ) & Uncle . I wish I could have learned His skills , but , I guess it wasn't in the cards . I would LOVE to own a kitchen do it all knife made the way You make them ( but , I doubt I could afford one ) .

Poetry in motion.

Beautiful work and very well explained by Will. One small question to the knife maker, when you are dipping the hot blade in the quench oil, in my limited view from the video, it appears the handles are left out of the quench oil dip (irrespective of them being also red hot) than the other knife makers that I watched making the knife's. Would you kindly let me know, that there is an editing issue here, or the process that you adopt do not take care of the metal in its whole form and only use it on the top metal. The problem I presume - one part of the metal is strong and other part of the metal is brittle, resulting in the knife becoming weaker in its entire metal structure. Apologize in advance, just curious to know.

@maximeregamey4458

3 жыл бұрын

If you have to pierce some holes to rivet the handle of the knife, you can't harden the tang (the metallic part of the blade inside the handle). You could pierce them before quenching, but it is not the case here. It won't cause any structural problem though... at least unless you are making some high technology pieces, in which case I can't say what is best.
