Clicked on this to watch and see what Sparks Motors was up to, but I got an explanation of blacksmithing that gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the fantastic work that Andrew and his wife do! Forged in Fire touches on some of it, but they haven't ever explained it as clearly and precisely as Andrew did in this clip.

That's a great looking press you've got there Andrew 😉 thank you for your service brother. We're thrilled to be a part of your shop.

What an awesome gift for her and for Dave. It's great to have good friends/family.

The end of the video when you presented “The Bill” to Dave’s Mother brought tears to this old Vietnam Veterans eyes. I found it fascinating that he used the phrase “you’re one of the good guys”. I have found myself using the same phrase over the years with people I think are worthy. Some days they can be darned hard to find. 23rd Infantry Division “Americal” Chu Lai & Combat Support Base Vandergrift 1970-1971.

Thank you for your service mr Andrew and anyone else who serves or served👊🙏😎

This was an awesome video! Great job guys! It was very touching seeing what you did for Heavy D and making that knife personal. It brought tears to my eyes. You guys are truly “one of the good guys.”

Had the pleasure of serving with Andrew, and I am also an owner of one of his knives. He's a great craftsman and a stand up guy!

Thank you for serving as well Travis. Sending some California love👊🙏😎 and the next 8-10 weeks will be long for me waiting to get my hands on mine but for a work of art its well worth it👊

I have a whole new perspective on blacksmithing and all the time and work that goes into it Andrew is a beast at this and it’s honestly hard to believe he made those

This was a incredible gift for the Sparks family! You guys did a great thing!!

As a knife collector, a small collection, those knives are beautiful!

You guys are some of the good guys. Awesome job!

Awesome video, true patriots, and you made mama Sparks cry! What’a bunch a guys!

What a way to give back. I love how they thought they would even compress a military truck spring lmao Edit: Andrew is just an amazing artist. Those tools are just absolutely beautiful.

it's truly a dying art I'm glad to see some people are still doing blacksmithing

Great idea, many tears. You all are doing good work. Thank you for sharing with us, it's the little things that count. Sparks mom will cherish that knife/momento forever!

Didn't anticipate tearing up today damn it. Fantastic video all around. You all find top notch people not only to make your products but to work along side. Hearts bigger than the planet, keep it up guys.

Having watched Alec Steele and Will Stelter and "Man At Arms: Reforged" for years it was kinda hilarious to me how oblivious the Sparks crew was to the basics of blacksmithing... 😂😁😇 But yeah, leaf springs and coil springs are a staple for bladesmiths for over a century now. High carbon steel makes good sharp blades - if the smith knows what he's doing. It's not just about smashing steel into form, it's also a lot about the knowledge of metallurgy. Heat treating and hardening through quenching are two critical things where the bladesmith has to know what happens inside the steel... 😉✌️

You guys always make my Thursday a little better! Thankyou! Your videos are the best!

Thank you for your service to our USA! a Marine. Andrew has a nice place. The monkey is a cool mark. The scenery is so beautiful. Reminds me of where my parents grew up. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Andrew and family are true artist. The stealth knife rocks I liked the Bill knife also

What a great sitting , revealing the knives with Andrew. Awesome project!

What an awesome, fun, interesting video! To see and listen to a real blacksmith explain this process was great! Thank you guys for taking us along.

This is beyond AWESOME!!! Thanks guys this was very cool! Keep the content rolling!

The plasticity of steel is so interesting!! Feeling the metal move with your hammer blows is an incredible phenomenon!!! Forging is so exhilarating!!!

The ending definitely made me start to tear up! Awesome knives guys! Would love to see the video when the knife was given to Dave!

38:00 Sumbeach made me cry too! I think I'm getting more sentimental, the older I get.

nothing better then seeing blacksmithing! That guy was a bad ass. I loved hearing him explain everything.

Thank you guys. Amazing video. I learned something new today. Much appreciated.

Awesome video! I love watching blacksmith's at work. Way to go Andrew. Those are some pretty knives.

I was not surprised to see you and Dave on TV helping rescue people stuck in the snow in California. Dave being so helpful yet again to people he doesn't know, and the team of course. I just wanted to say thank you. Big fan from the UK. Thank you. XxX

Andrew, this one really touched me when you present the knife to Dave's mother. I served during Vietnam, and while the Abraham tank was tested for field readiness. It did not do so good out in the desert and i watched as it had to be towed in because the air filter clogged. It showed a lot of history in those knives, and I am proud to watch your show.

What an amazing Idea.. with such a great purpose... and best of all.. the memory and dedication. Definitely a great gift.. Thanks guys! 💯💯

That was friggin awesome. Bill sounded like a dude I would of loved to have met. I too am from a family of awesome men who served our country proud. One Grandfather served in Korea, I have Great Uncles who served in WW2, my uncles and Dad are Vietnam Vets. For a blacksmith let alone one that Served in the Corp to have made such beautiful blades is mind blowing.

Love my Trained Monkey Blade knife. Very likely to order another one. You just want to hold them constantly, they feel so good.

One of the best things I've seen in a while. Thank you

Love watching theses Guy's they are AMAZING AWESOME!!!!

That background is crazy Utah is beautiful

Bravo, this is a truly beautiful creation and tribute to the memory of America's Patriots.

That was so cool. So touching at the end too.

That was awesome, all of the builds and shenanigans' are cool but that was over the top cool. We need an update when you give it to Dave.

Good on ya brother, keep on keepin on...

My 3rd son is getting into blacksmithing, this is very cool!

I remember I always look forward to Metal Shop in Highschool. There we had a forge, there we make simple tools like hammers, chisels and pliers we also sand casted items too. You video brought back some good memories.

That means so much to me that he built a knife handle with the material from Vietnam-era fatigues. There are fewer of us around now because of the things we were exposed to.

Ok that ending got me.....just lost my dad in November and my father in law on Sunday. Both armed forces both served with honor. Semper fi

Haha, I have a pile of springs I use in my forge.. Tho, I thing my husband wishes I would let him scrap some lol…. They make amazing tools, I reworked a few for forge tools, and knives.

Spring steel makes great swords and knives.... Just Saying
