I love how good Eli has clearly gotten. Like this video is all about the handle, but then it starts and he realizes he needs a knife to put the handle on so he just slams one out in a few hours like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “Bada bing bada boom knifes done handle time”

I imagine this gets commented at least a few times every video, but as someone who's been here for a heckin long time, it has been extremely nice watching Eli's skill set grow over the year. Hecka proud of our boy.

I've come to realise why I love this channel. Your videos are very reminicsent of the early youtube era in which it was about the love of making the video and the product. You don't start the video yelling at me and you don't have constant shit barraging me throughout the video, just peaceful and clean video editing. Please keep grinding and innovating an original style of video making.

I wanted to finally try my first stacked leather handle on one of my swords so I hop onto KZread and who else do i find but eli. Thanks for not only giving me the confidence to get into making swords and armor almost 8 years ago but for still being here all these years later with more to learn. Heres to many more years to come. Thanks Eli

The first video I watched was the army of two mask about 5 years ago and since then I've been hooked. I'm 14 and you have been a huge inspiration to me and why I make things. I recently started wanting to make knifes and my grandpa is going to help me with it. But I just wanted to say thank you for being one of my biggest inspirations in life, and for being there to upload and cheer me up when I was depressed! - Alex L

The only thing that this could use as an improvement is having the leather a touch more compressed, it would help the visual look and feel a LOT.

That has to be the scariest sharp knife wielded by the toughest man I've ever seen

Hard to believe that this guy used to make pvc bows and saw blade shurikns, it's been unbelievable to know that you've grown this much in the years I've forgotten your channel, thanks yt for recommending me to come back.

This is the most classic channel on KZread

I’ve been watching this channel for years and this dude only gets better and he always finds a way to make it funny too😂

Humor, brown eyes, AND he can make me all the knives I want? Dream guy over here

I took a trip back to your first video for old times sakes. Even though youre older than me, (im 19) ive got to watch you grow up. I started watching 7 years ago with part 1 of home made weapons, and went on to watch the rest of the parts (i think you had part 3 up at the time). So awesome to grow up with you in a sense. i can say i dont think id be doing it if it were not for you. I remember the video where you encouraged us all at home to “just do it” as shia would say. And that day i cleared off our workbench in my basement from all the clutter, put in a vise, and ever since ive been making everything from pvc bows, to bullwhips, to makeshift bongs with my glass cutting bits, and JB weld (i knew about it first😉). So i just wanted to thank you for getting my creative but lazy brain to do something productive. You are a legend. Thank you, Eli. Seincerely, Chase.

Haven't watched u in 2 years. Glad to be back. I'm so glad your still doing you

Yes!!!! i saw this and you instantly cured my boredom

Hey Eli! I've been a viewer for a few years. I haven't watched anything in a while due to work and busy schedules. Just wanted to say I'm really glad to see the progress you've made over the years. I know you hit a rut for a while but when you put faith in God and yourself then nothing is impossible. A bible verse my grandmother taught me has helped me through many trials and tribulations of, not only my faith, but my mental and physical struggles. Psalm 37:24 "Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds his hand."

Totally forgot about this channel. Glad I found it again

i literally busted up laughing at the end. You sir, will get a like forever from me.

I love being part of this journey, to see u improve on your crafts bit by bit, despite any setbacks u keep pushing, thank you Eli, u are an inspiration for many

Man, that tap & die joke was GOLD!

Can’t believe it’s already been 6 years since I found the channel. Keep up the great work

Damn... Awesome build!! It looks like a lot of things came together over the years during this project. Also, that threaded pummel was epic.

You're a day late, but I accept this as a Christmas gift anyways

Oh my god when did he hit a million subs, Jesus . Listen I haven’t been watching your channel since day one, but I have been for a long time good for you seriously your the one channel I’ve just always had a spot for. Good for you honest to god. You put a lot of hard work into this you’ve earned every bit of what you have. God bless man

Its so cool to see how far his skills have come especially compared to his older videos

Man your quality of work has improved so much over the years and it's a great thing to see, watching you fueled me to start making things and now try and start my own woodworking business and it's all thanks to you. You're an inspiration and an incredible guy

Your work is amazing it’s astonishing how far you’ve come 🤟🏾🙌

The amount of saves he made in this video was unreal.

I want to tell you that I recently upgraded my belt sander/grinder. I went from a wen 4x36 1/2hp 1900 fpm to a shop fox 2x72 1hp 4500fpm with a 10 inch contact wheel, a platten, and slack belt, and the difference was accurately "get what you pay for." The 4x36 was $120, and the 2x72 was $640. The difference in performance feels like the difference in cost. I am really glad I made that investment. I highly recommend considering it. They had a 5 month payment plan that made it possible.
