Honestly, will's onscreen presence when doing a solo video has gotten loads better from when he first did them. Beautiful knife as well

It's really cool to see how much Jamie's range of editing style has grown.

Gotta love that instant coffee. Those small explosions really pop, even on a smartphone screen where one NORMALLY can't see finer details like that. That dark handle with ivory spacer really does help the focus too.

The singular focus of Will when it comes to quality. I thought craftsmanship was going to be a thing of the past but this guy right here... always with a smile too. No matter how many times he drops it. :D

There's more talent on this channel than on any other I can think of, Will, Alec, Jamie and Isaiah all are phenomenal! The filming, editing, music always enhance the amazing craftsmanship of Alec and Will

I have seen a thousands of videos about making knives, but this is the most beautiful knife i have ever seen ❤️

Supernice blade! As usual, Will has knocked it out of the park. And that new pattern is friggin' amazing. What I'm finding really neat is how Will is becoming more comfortable in front of the camera, and starting to really carry the blade content on his own while Alec deals with the business. Keep up the great work, Will.

I've heard 3yr olds hum more elaborate tunes than most of the crap on here. This had something for everyone and was edited to perfection. Possibly the best Steele/Stelter vid to date. Top-notch production quality with great content.

I really liked the change of music in this one, really appreciated the classical and suited the mood :) Hope to hear more of it!

Will, I just wanted to throw a shout out to you doing all of the hand sanding you do. I'm currently hand sanding a fire axe head as a retirement present for a coworker of mine in the fire department. It was a big chunk of rust. Started at 36 grit and have worked my way up to 800 grit currently. My fingers hurt in places I didn't think could hurt. I have a tremendous newfound respect for the work you do on those blades by hand. That tip of running at 45° in both directions on the same grit has been a huge help. I'd still be on 80 grit if I were trying to sand in one direction.

The cool thing about this pattern is if you change any detail of the feather, the final pattern can come out so different!! Super cool idea. Knife is beautiful.

That knife looks amazing! That was such a good pattern, good job Will.

I literally spit out what I was drinking at "it has a spinny feature"

You continue to amaze me will! My only complaint as a knife maker is I feel like this episode was worthy of being atleast an hour long, I could watch this piece come together all day my man keep up the fantastic work my friend.

I am a wood worker and the tip on using ducktape behind sand paper is a revelation!!!!thanks a lot

Wellp, at least Will didn't break anything this ti*record scratch* Will: So anyways, I dropped X so we need to make another X but it didn't come out right so now I gotta make a new Y as well...

This was a satisfying series: great to see a project go from start to finish without clownish mishaps and yield such a masterful result

WOW: superlative craftsmanship; FINE CAMERA WORK AND EDITING...and the best Damascus pattern definition I have seen on this channel. This is a Will Stelter knife for the AGES!

The World Wildlife Fund estimates there are approximately 415,000 African elephants in the wild today, compared to three to five million during the 19th century. During the 1980s African elephant populations decreased by almost 50 percent. Since monitoring began approximately 30 years ago, 2011 has been the worst year on record, with the largest amount of illegal ivory confiscated worldwide. It has been estimated that 35,000 elephants are illegally killed each year for their ivory. The Wildlife Conservation Society’s 96 Elephants campaign emphasizes the unfortunate fact that 96 elephants are killed in Africa each day-that is one elephant every 15 minutes. (Asian elephants are still threatened by poaching but not all Asian elephants have tusks.)" Not cool at all

They've shown in the past that they use synthetic ivory. I think(hope) Will just forgot to mention it.

I imagine it is imitation ivory as you can't even get real ivory. I cringed when he said it though because he didn't specify that it was imitation.

@@neileddy6159 It's mammoth ivory. Like, from Wooly Mammoth. They've been extinct for millennia. The skeletons are found frequently and all parts used in knifemaking and other crafts. I promise, no mastodons were killed to harvest that ivory.

I totally agree with this. I makes little difference to the workpiece to get imitation and is infinitely better for the animals. Edit: alright, it is possible that the ivory comes from mammoths and walrusses but Alec and Will probably still should specify if it is real or faux and what kind of animal the ivory is from.

i agree, id rather just the micarta if they want something white

Is that real ivory? Like from animal? If so, please don't. It might just be a small piece but it supports poaching of endangered animals.

If it is, it's old. Can't legally purchase ivory that was "obtained" from the animal at any point after January 18th, 1990. And while the buyer doesn't have to have paperwork proving it, the seller absolutely does. That said, I doubt it, they've said before in a video they made with ivory that it was a false ivory.

No wooly mammoths were poached in the making of this knife. They've been extinct for millennia. The skeletons are found frequently and you can purchase everything from the ivory to the teeth to be used in knifemaking and other crafts.

Big shoutout to the guys behind the cameras filming and computers editing. Great combination of shots with edits and music!

Man, I was anticipating the finish on this to come out killer, but Will even exceeded those expectations...! And the videography and editing is also stellar on this whole video! GADDAMN, these boys don't mess around!
