To help with not getting shocked, run some copper tencel, or some sort of copper wire from your machines to the ground of your shop floor....

What was the blue wood called?

Kyle, I too am a knife maker in Australia. I haven't even been able to get out of my house into the shed because of major Depression for 2 years But I just wanted you to know that watching has really inspired me! And now I have my motivation back and am making knives again and am better mentally. All Thanks to you. Please keep up the great videos you're a pleasure to watch the best on KZread...Cheers!

Good on yah ~Aussi, may the forge be with you...

I like the dark ones, but the blue one is my favorite, it looks like a Van Gogh canvas.

To not get shocked, ground yourself and the machine to the same source. Search "anti-static bracelet". Electricians use these to not cause discharge when working on electronics so as to not damage the electronics. Same principle here. Keep yourself at the same electric potential as the tool. Take the lead from the anti-static bracelet and connect it directly to the grinder/buffer's ground. You'll get build-up charge on the wire wheel just like a brush motor, probably same with the cotton wheel on dry days. You'll can make a slipping lead on the axle and tie it to ground as well. This will keep everything at the same electric potential and you won't get the random static discharges. Hope that helps!

That would have been my answer, except there's no way I'd recommend a wrist leash anywhere near the spinning buffer. Buffers are one of the most dangerous machines in a knife shop without an extra dangly to get caught in the wheel. Would that bracelet work the same if attached to your ankle instead?

As an electrician with 40+ years of experience, I approve of this comment, and highly recommend using this method to prevent static discharge.

Not worth the risk of getting it wrapped up and pulling you in.

47 years old and I just learned what a "~ tilde" is called. Thank you Sir for everything you have taught me, in, and out of, my shop. Really cool video my man

It's okay, man. Not every language uses that character. :)

Hey Kyle, there are anti-static shoes you can buy, as well as anti-static mats. I used to work for an electronic repair shop and that's what we used to get rid of static. The mats are grounded to the equipment you are using, then the shoes ground you to the mat. It also insulates you from the rest of the shop and Earth ground, so you're less likely to be shocked by faulty wiring. Plus you can get steel/crush resistant toed anti-static shoes. Pretty handy.

Isnt there a kinda like gel coating you can cover the floor with, like a paint or poly? I worked in an automotive shop that was previously a computer repair shop or something and the entire concrete floor was covered in it. Couldnt really tell until like brake cleaner got on it and it started to bubble/gel.

What's up buddy ohhh yeah!.man!.I miss you so bro and my favorite one ivory blessings to you and everyone 👌 👍

Kyle I would have to say the white ivory look is always my favorite contrast with darker blades. Hope you are doing well my friend and am enjoying your videos while I patiently await getting my shop back up and running. Take care buddy and keep up the fantastic videos and work! Sincerely, Evan M.

I'll give 5 stars to all 5 knives

the blue one looks like van gogh's starry night and im more than a little in love with it

The purple one!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

That etching montage was hilarious

Radio stations use grounding mats on the floor that gets rid of static electricity so it doesn't shirt the computer equipment. So they definitely have a mat to get rid of ur static problem

The "Starry Night" handle is stunning.

Kyle - another fantastic video. Yours is the best knife making site on YT. My favorite is the blue, followed by the purple. I'm not a fan of any carbon fiber. THANK YOU.

probably the greatest knife/ sword artisan of our age haha

It's so cool how you got the damascus to read subscribe! The blue handle looks like a painting by van Gogh.

Im first, hey I just began into knifemaking and I made 19 inch 5 pound kukri and I was sucsesful because of your tips, thank you!!

The production quality just keeps getting better and better. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.

If the Smithsonian Institute has not contacted you yet somebody should let them know you're work needs to be there. I like the blue wood.

By far the best use of nestcafe bold, only a desperate person would drink that

Amazing work, as usual! The resin ivory handle is by far my favorite.

It would be the ivory for me it’s got a nice classic look about it beautiful knives

The simulated ivory is gorgeous

I waited 18 minutes and 9 seconds for your coffee break. Was worried it wouldn't be filmed! Love the content. You inspire me to get back in my shop and keep trying to make improvements on my work.

This blue one is my favourite.

Beautiful knives once again!To avoid getting hit by static electricity when sharpening the handles, just use a grounding strap, like the one used when working on sensitive electronics!But a copper wire around the wrist and attached to the body of the grinder does the same Purpose! I'm already looking forward to the next video!

That video production was fan-frickin-tactic!! Nice edit! And the resin ivory was my favorite

Смотрю с удовольствием.Работы шикарные!

Hi Kyle the quality of your works is stunning !!! I’m from France and i’d looooooove to get the blue one !! It looks like a Van Gogh art « nuit étoilée » thank you for the sympathy you bring on your videos Your Damascus forging is amazing

The blue handle and I love the Damascus patterns , excellent and tedious work Kyle 🙌👍

Take some copper wire and find a good bare metal spot on your buffer that you can hook it to and run it to a ground or outside and stick the end of the wire in the ground and that'll stop it. I've had to do the same thing to mine as well as my 1x30" grinder. Those blades are amazingly awesome and beautiful! Always a pleasure watching you make them. May the forge be with you!! 😊

You guys should do an entire video on how to shape a handle like these! It’s not as easy as it looks, and to get that facet to come out, so nice takes lots of skill! I think a lot of knife makers focus on the metal and the blade work and don’t put as much attention into their handle shaping. I am absolutely stunned at the way these look. Great job Kyle!

My favourite is the resin ivory handle because it reminds me of a knife my grandfather bought for me which was sadly stolen in a burglary, it certainly wasn’t as beautiful as your knife but to a 10 year old me it was the greatest ever made. Thank you for reviving a great memory 🖐🏻😊🤚🏻

My favorite is the first blue one you did!

All 5 are beautiful but my favorite is the carbon fiber one at 24:46 close up. You mentioned they were weaves but it almost had the appearance of forged CF because of the swooping angles.

As a fellow craftsman of a different discipline, watching you create these masterpieces each ith the sme amount of love and care is just extraordinary. I hope I can put that amount of meticulous effort into my projects someday. My favorite is the blue, hands down.

OO i like the white kinda corian looking one. It would make a great gentleman's table knife for smoking cigars with the friends!

Stunning collection, Kyle!

Ivory handle looks gr8 to me!

You make the most prettiest knives ever there were knives.

The blue one is my fav😍

Blue looked amazing

I like the red/purple handle!

The blue burl reminds me of Van gogh's stary night. Beautiful knives.

Starry night is my favorite one!

I prefer the blue handle. Nice to see you do "many" knives at a time, slightly simpler than your normal marathon builds. They are all beautiful 👍.

Beautiful work Kyle! I like the white handle against the dark Damascus and the the blue burl wood handles.. Beautiful stuff!.

The white handled one is my 2nd favorite and the one at 25:51 is my #1, I just love how the handle pops, it also works with the silvery to dark contrast on the blade, the pattern is gorgeous, the handle keeps your eyes going and you can look at it as much as you want but you'll always find something in the handle you hadn't noticed before. So absolutely amazing. All of them are.

Beautiful work as always. projects come and go but the memories of working with your dad and making the hydraulic press last forever in your heart that NO ONE can ever appreciate as much as you both or take away!

I love this forging channel, at least he says what, why and how he's doing it I really like that

Blue. And the Damascus is pretty good especially for a W’s billet.

I appreciate your expertise with all equipment, especially the micro adjustment sledgehammer! Those all came out great. Hard to choose a favorite!

That blue handle reminds me of the Starry Night Van Gogh painting.

Ever seen Freerk wieringa fit a guard… It is made when super hot.. And fits like hand in a glove 🤘🏼

Batch dang I can barley imagine making one. This rocks big time.

That blue handle strikes me the most and I can't believe that's wood?!? Awesome skills and knowledge you have, artisan at its best! Greetings from the Philippines.

The tight carbon is my favourite as on camera it compliments the Damascus Twist pattern really well.

I love them all but the blue is my fav

The resin ivory is nice. With so much going with the pattern of the Damascus, I like the more solid handle color. Truly, they’re all beautiful

18:41 looks exactly like the Van Gogh Painting "Starry Night" ! Magnificient

Wow they turned out spectacular! Dang!! 🔪🔥🔨🦾

I love all of them, but the blue one is spectacular!

stunningly beautiful knives!!

I laughed way to hard towards the end when you went through the blades one by one lmao. Thats a ton of work bud. Amazing work as always tho. That one blue wood is my favorite too. Just gorgeous, but i like them all to be honest. Maybe one of these days I can hopefully own one of these beautiful work of art's. You definitely perfected your craft. Bravo bud

Все рукояти хорошие, мне очень понравилась синяя рукоять.

Man first time you uploaded this I loved it. Watched it again and learned more again. ;)

ВЫ КЛАССНАЯ КОМАНДА У ВАС ШИКАРНЫЕ РАБОТЫ ,ТАК ДЕРЖАТЬ .УДАЧИ В ВАШИХ ДЕЛАХ

Blue handle for me! Amazing work as always!

Love the Burl handles!

Digging the white handle!

Gorgeous lineup!

Kyle mano!Sou fã do seu trabalho,aprecio muito seu talento e dedicação. As facas ficaram show excelente trabalho!Gostei mais da de cabo preto que estava acima da azul na mesa,mas a azul também ficou linda!

Kyle, you are a marvel with such skills. I always enjoy watching so thanks heaps.

Sir you are my favorite smith on you tube and one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing as always and I love the white ivory handle ! Keep the superb craftsmanship !

I just saw an ad in the middle of ur vid and it was a drill bit that can drill squares and rectangles. It has some weird fitting on the outside of a normal drill bit. I know you've always done 3 holes side by side the file to get the right angles on all your handles but this square bit could be a game changer. Look into it maybe

Wow, this video is incredibly satisfying to watch! The way you meticulously craft these knives is pure artistry. The precision and attention to detail are truly impressive. It's amazing to see how a simple piece of metal transforms into a beautiful and functional work of art in your hands. Your passion for knife making really shines through in every step of the process. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see more of your creations in the future! 🔪💫👏

Blue maple one has my heart. All your craftsmanship is amazing bro. Super talented . Love your videos

Purple was my favorite too

Best knifemaker in the US, period. Been watching you since you had like 2k subs. Never stop!

incredible

I like the blue one the most. You do really good work my man.

Si tuviera dinero!!! Los compraría todos!!!

Oh man, I have a hard time picking between the ivory and purple. The contrast on ivory is very cool... but that purple is alluring. Wonderful job as always Kyle!

I love the coarse carbon fiber! I know it might cumbersome but a grounding wrist strap would stop the static electricity.

Fine and hard work Bravo. Nice job

Great video, and I love the ivory handle blade the best. Thank you for posting!

That ivory handle 😍

Cool build man! Love the rough weave carbon fibre the most, almost looks like snake skin! ;)

Say Hello to your dad as well, Kyle! Love the work you both do!

Starry Night is what I'd call the blue one. They're all incredible. Are these already sold?

incredible work! you make the best knives I've ever seen.

Hi , my favourite handle is the rough weave version. Ultra cool the way the light plays over it , highlighting the deeper and lighter shades . I’ve become a fan of your videos for a while now , so Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿 to you and your family. Alan

Pop it's in a press is okay but rolls of the big bubble wrap in a sheet metal roller is amazing.

this is the best blacksmith channel on YT, hands down. I do not understand why you aren't at 5 mil subs

The blue burl is my favourite but all of them are mesmerising 😅

Another beautiful build. Thanks 🔪🎸

Nicely done as always 👍

I like all of them each has its own nice grain, but i think i like the ivory colored one , it seems to have the biggest contrast between the handle material and the darkness of the blade.

The amount of uploads is insane for the craftsmanship that he put in these builds
