    Truly beautiful work, every aspect came out incredibly on it's own while also working harmoniously with the overall look. I wanted to thank you for all the detail you went into on the process, beside being entertaining I learned new things. :) Spring tempering the upper portion of the tang makes perfect sense, but it's not something I've ever seen in another video or read in a book. I also had no idea that profile taper was as important as distal taper on the tang. Thanks for sharing.

    Not gonna lie, this is the kind of dagger I'd picture a master smith submitting to a blade tournament _and winning_ Everything from the damascus, the handle, guard and pommel, to the gold engravings and even the profile of the blade. All not only excellently made, but also masterfully designed This belongs in a display case atop a marble pedestal And the fact that it holds up to genuine use? It is masterpiece not only in design but also in quality

    This is amazing work, the only thing I personally would have done different is use a better handle material, like india sambar stag, the enamel on India stag is the finest of any stag antler and takes a mirror polish, and over time starts to yellow gracefully over time and almost takes on an ivory kind of look, (unless you dye it of course). The other parts of the knife are so well done that it deserves an upgrade in stag. Also, it's an interesting choice to leave the solder on the finished piece like that. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it's kind of cool, and it goes well with what the knife represents. Cheers, have a nice day!

The attention to detail is top notch, and I would rate this one up there with the last dagger that Kyle Royer uploaded to his channel. The $24k dagger that took him 3 months to make! Truly an amazing work of art. And seeing you butcher that 2"x4" with this beauty closer to the middle of the video, that is just a testament to not only your knowledge of how to properly heat treating a blade, but how to make a beautiful work of art that is also VERY capable of going to war! You deserve for the whole world to know who you are, my friend! Great work, and I am definitely looking forward to your next build video!

You have a EASILY got a sub from me! I am a plumber and a pipefitter, and I have always loved working with metal. Metallurgy has been super interesting to me for some years now, and I have been eating up a lot of black/bladesmithing for a few weeks now. I have been looking for more bladesmiths that go in depth in their videos, here on TH-cam. I am hoping to purchase a forge and some steel stock so I can start teaching myself how to make high quality knives. I am very grateful for channels like yours, that go into detail and walk you through their process step by step! I can't wait to see the finished product at the end of your video! Cheers!
