Glad to see you still have all your fingers.

It's Fugly, but it CUTS. It cuts pretty well, in fact. A good, compact chopper. NICE!

Thank you Alex. Another great video. My son and I are going to try our hand at making a blade using your techniques. Just got our first delivery of 1080 today. Keep 'em coming!

Brian Mansfield in about 30 minutes you will get good results but the longer the better. You can really just keep checking back and forth until you get to where you want

Ive yet to see anyone using Macaulay Culkin as a quench oil, and until such time will argue that doing so will have potential benefits until proven otherwise. 😆

Wow I feel pretty, I’ll just skip that part ! 🤪 I’m so glad you did this video because I bought some, but haven’t used it . I live in Mobile, Al and I haven’t been able to find any place to get knife making material . I’ve heard using leave springs . What do you think 🤔? And glad you did you wood fire so I know I can do this too ! Anything you can share I would appreciate ! Thanks for sharing keep up the good work young man ! Oh by the way I’m a 60 year young wanting to learn ! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks ! LoL Have a great day !

As a hobbyist knife maker, I had to use these 2 tools to make knives for about 2 years Mostly involved sharpening thick sheet metal Building a charcoal pit and buying a belt sander was like going up 10 levels in a video game

Electrical tape and a magnet taped to a 1/2" dowel worked for me

It's the best channel I'm subscribed to

always fun to watch these

Iiii liiike iiit !! 😁🙏😆👍🏻👍🏻 I like the size, the design, the material! I like the easy to handle and cheap tools and the short production time. This is my 3. video, and i like them all. Your videos are entertaining, funny, informative and get to the point. Keep it up.👍🏻👍🏻 Best regards from Europe.

everybody has a little bit of ColdSteel in them... be a dreamer!

Damn slim shady realy be teaching us how to make knives. Jokes aside thanks i want to start making my own knives👍

I am really inspired by your videos and really want to start making some knives.

Great video. New shop will be lotta fun.

Good thing I work in a industry I can bring all the scrap of that kind of steel home

In knife making you’re ninja, slicing isn’t bad too. Thanks.

Another potential turd of a day made tolerable by the whimsical wit and wisdom of Big Al. Thank you, good sir.

i love and hate this video for sooo many reasons. I love it because it shows that despite some of the mistakes you make in your process, sword/knifemaking is a VERY forgiving process. That is an amazing feat, though maybe in some ways NOT what you set out to do. I love your desire and your effort. But when you didnt cut thru your baseball I knew i had to say something. its not a sharpness problem, its a geometry problem. If you really wanna make something that CUTS, not PRY open a surface, use a primary bevel ONLY. Basically its incredibly difficult to make a secondary bevel sharp enough to overcome the binding that happens onthe back side of the cut. Make at least the recurve portion of the blade a primary only and the rounded section of the tip area a convex grind with a 2ndary bevel. I know the video is 3 years old, but if you could address this in a reprise video just to a/b compare the 2 blades, Im sure you will see the difference. PS: the only real reason i hate the vid is simple. You put the blade edge DOWN in the fire. You said it yourself edges get hotter faster than spines. you want the edge to get hot LAST the body of the blade will hodl the heat. Edge down increases the likelihood of BURNING the blade. Small quibble really, but i've seen people eff this up and ruin all that work. overall great video though. overseas we would often tell new contractors to put some death on that hip, meaning get a blade. well done.

I love this, and I’m inspired. I have to try this

Awesome! Love the video

Yup. Great video. C'mon kids, I know what we are going to do today!

Super awesome video, thanks!

Super useful, thank you

good method and simple for heat treating. I used charcoal barbecue coals. I have a portable band saw jury rigged vertical and it cuts the steel like butter and steel does not get hot at all

Bahahaha!!!!! Best video ever!!!! Nailed it!!💥👊🏼👊🏼💥💯❤️

New shop looks huge!

I built a forge out of an old BBQ grill that I modified for air and used a shop vac on reverse for the forced air. Works great.

love your sense of humor! :DDD

i dont like big knives, but i LOVE your big knife videos!

Ace. I love the safety glasses drop near the end. Thanks!

Absolutely freaking awesome!!!! I feel like I am in my Dad’s shop all over again. He was an Iron Smith. He made some Machetes too. Great memories. Thank You Alex

You got me with the chopped glove part.. 😯

Really loving your videos. Keep up the great work.

Excelent

That was brilliant 😂🤣 👌

Love the information thank you

Great video man! Excellent tutorial!

You are awesome Alex love the video

Awesome video!! 👍

Looks like a fun one day project, I'm going to have to try that!

great fun to watch and fun to do!

I need to make this but damascus. Might take a million tries but its something i want to try and maybe do in the future.

I like just how that nice big chopper cam out to be and i do like the look and it looks like you crazy sharpen. But thanks for this video keep cool and ✌.

5:40 use a metal etch or micrometer to make a center point line on the blade, otherwise the "Center" moves as you grind material away from the two sides as you work. A crucial step you left out.
