The video got waaaay longer than anticipated. I tried my best with the chapters, so you can easily see which part is essential and which one is optional. Have fun!
THERE IS NO OPTIONAL PARTS! PEOPLE- WATCH THE WHOLE EPISODE god damn it:P!
NO POWER TOOLS and you decided to make a fuller, spine decoration AND a mirror finish.. Sven, now I know.. You are definitely out of your mind, brother!.. The amount of work you put into this blade is remarkable! Damn... I have no words, only a big wooow! WOOW!
Thanks a lot David! I guess I got carried away a bit 😂
If I could I would give 10 thumbs up!
I really appreciate the support, thanks brother!
Love your sense of humor, Nice video. I opted to add the blood, Not at first, but as a result of bad timing. looking forward for the next video
Thanks a lot! We don‘t make mistakes, just happy little accidents, right? 😂 Send me a pic on insta if you want, I‘d love to see your work. I‘m pretty excited about the next video aswell. I‘m half way done with editing, it should be up next week
Немного занимаюсь ножами, но этого очень круто! На коленке закалку сделать очень-очень смело! Молодец 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot! I‘m glad you liked it 👌🏻
Schön und anschaulich erklärt und für mich alleine schon wegen der Griffgestaltung mehr als sehenswert. Ich kannte ja einfache Grooves, aber deine Technik werde ich bei meiner nächsten Griffgestaltung mal ausprobieren. Herzlichen Dank, Micha
Vielen Dank, Micha! Freut mich zu hören, dass ich helfen konnte. Falls du Instagram hast schick mir gerne mal ein Bild sobald du fertig bist 👍🏻
Beautiful knife! Very well done!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Very nice!greetings from funland 🇫🇮
Thank you!
Beautiful craftsmanship. Very impressive! Great attention to detail.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
Beautiful knife. Great job & tutorial! I learned a lot.
Thank you! That’s real nice to hear!
Stabiles Messer, mal wieder! Ich bin hier für den Algorithmus ☺
Die Firma dankt 👌
Just catching up on your videos... That is beautiful, and very basic but elegant almost....
I like everything about it! Thanks for your video…🐋
Thanks a lot! I‘m glad you liked it. I hope my next videos will be even better
Veramente bravo, molto ingegnoso d usare gli utensili che hai già in casa! Il fodero rinforzato con ottone forse è esagerato, comunque un gran bel coltello! Complimenti ancora!
Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! You're right the sheath got a bit out of hand and I wouldn't do it like that again. It was more of a concept testing than a functional design.
Beautiful knife amigo great video and yes learning thanks. One day I will try making a knife😄👍👍
Thanks a lot! If you do, send me a picture on Instagram 👍🏻
@@NjordArtisan yes I will my friend thank you 😊
That edited chop was amazing lol
Lol "think about your life decisions up to this point" ! 😂 killing me! -Coming together nicely. - Haven't finished watching yet! Just subbed, mid video!
I definitely had some questionable glueups 😄 Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@NjordArtisan - you're welcome! You taught me a lot in thjs single video. I'd like to try it in the future.
That’s really nice to hear! I‘ve learned everything I know from KZhead, so it’s great to share that 👍🏻 Definitely send me a picture of your work on instagram if you want 👌🏻
Very nice knive and great job! For myselfe I'm much to lazy to make a perfect mirrow polishing like you, respect for this!
Thanks! It certainly isn‘t a fun job but for a little knife like that it wasn‘t too bad 😄
Great job man. The video flew by despite the length. You do a great job of being entertaining and informative. Thanks for the upload
I really enjoyed this build. I like long interesting clips like this. You helped me with some very constructive tips and insights. Great skills Brother!. Thank you. Also... very funny ;+)
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it and that I could help. Also thanks for the feedback on the video length. I wasn't too sure about that
Simple and functional. That's a good project for a beginner!
That's a very cool project !
Thanks!
Damn funny, I loved it.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for watching!
oh, hatte mich kurz auf nen schönen scandi schliff gefreut :P aber dickes video mal wieder!
Ich hab auf jeden Fall dieses Jahr vor noch mindestens 2 Puukkos zu machen. Da wird dann sicherlich ein scandi schliff bei sein 👌🏻😄
simple art .. but beautifully 😍❤👌🏻
Thank you 🙏 Simple tools and a lot of time is all you need 😄
COOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Thanks! 🤘🏆🎉
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Sehr schöne Arbeit.
Vielen Dank!
Be stoic, Shäl! I am only 1/2 Nordic. Thanks!
1/2 is more than enough if you ask me 😄 Thanks for watching!
Well done.
Thank you!
That's awesome👍👍👍
Thanks!
Very nice job, congrats 👍
Thank you!
Awesome result 🙂
Thank you!
Loved it 🤯
Thanks a lot!
Wow I rly love how you did the fuller...great video!
Thanks a lot!
Your heat treat , did you use butane or propane ? Because if yoy use butane it will struggle to reach temp so propane is the way to go.Hope this helps .Love the channel by the way.😊👍
Молодец очень хорошо
Thanks a lot!
Wow!!!
I hope you're positively wow-ed 😁
@@NjordArtisan 100% am! I was putting off making a knife because I felt like I needed to up my tooling; but, I have every tool shown here! Really inspirational. Now I'm going to buy some bar stock and make it happen! Thank you!!!!
@@theshieldwall1570 That's really cool to hear! I was the same way with my first knife . If you're done with yours be sure to send me a picture of it on instagram!
Very nice work mate , having a proper gas forge is better than using those disposable ones you used. I used to do it that way , then upgraded to a charcoal BBQ then a gas forge with a 9kg bottle. How long have you been making knives for ?.
Thank you! I‘m usually using my propane forge for that aswell. Just wanted to show that you can get the job done with cheap tools aswell. Roughly 2 years I‘d say 🤔
@@NjordArtisan cool I have been at it for 4 years only as a hobby mainly use old files , 1080 , 1084 , 1075 & SUP9 . Well I look forward to seeing more of your videos take it easy mate .
It definitely is a great hobby, best I‘ve ever had 😄 Thanks! I‘m currently editing the next one. Should be up next week 👌🏻
I have been thinking of doing something like this to make a few higher end woodcarving knives. I know the Flexcut ones look like they started as round stock. I really just don’t have any clue what steel would be best. Or how done does it need to be before sending off to be quenched.
I used to burn a tang hole in the wood since the power drill i had was trash at the time
Goode,👍🚴nice
Thanks!
I like the build in German Wörter 🤣
❤💯👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! 🤩🙏🥳🍻
But I DO have a belt grinder, cool video
Thanks 🙌
I like you
Thanks! 😉
Your welcome. You are very honest man and I appreciated .
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. That really helps me a lot!
Hahaha I am notorious for making knives with broken pieces of drill bit in them. Always well hidden though 😂🤷♂️
I almost had one break off yesterday again 😂 Thanks for watching!
Why you don't use electric instruments? It will be much easier and faster
You‘ve got a point 🤔
Fake Sound beim papierschneiden 🤣🤣🤣 ansonsten ganz gute arbeit
Na wenn du meinst 😅 Aber danke
Mate , please... Don't put that groove on the puukko🙏🏻but good looking knife, except that groove and spine
Thanks! It definitely is more of a concept piece than a historically accurate puukko 😄
Пипец колхоз ... Я так делал когда 15 лет....мне было... 👎👎🚽🚽😂
Well congrats. Sadly I didn‘t discover knifemaking as a great hobby until I was 23
hell yea ima make my butterfly knifes look like philipino ones now that i know its as easy as filing those designs into the spine of the knife
The possibilities are endless. There are so many cool designs to add to the spine. I’ll definitely do more of that in the future
