Thanks for watching! A list of sharpening supplies is linked in the video description to keep your knives razor sharp. Check out my website for new knives available www.lewgriffinknives.com Working on a new video out soon!

I LOVE when people ACTUALLY make the knives/blades rather than taking some metal, tracing an outline of a blade, then cutting it out. You get to see their entire craft on display. So for that, thank you!❤

Thanks for watching. Yes there's more control over the steel when forging the shape and much less cutting!

Oh my god. You actually forged a knife beginning to end and it came out amazing. Everyone else on KZread just grinds a knife shape out of a straight, flat piece of metal and they call it “making a knife” once they put a handle on it. Nice job, your talent is very evident.
