- Finally finished this knife! It has been a 4 month process. Started it in the fall of 2016, but winter came early and it was very cold as well my belt grinder broke. Also I started this knife a week after the video game Battlefield 1 came out and a month later I found the knife on youtube made by another youtuber! So I changed my plans a bit to make something a little more unique. The handle is walnut end grain, the blade is leaf spring steel ( 5160 ) ,the hilt is mild scrap and the sheath is kydex. Thanks for watching and check the links below!

Thank you!
Total beatiful knife! I go share to my friends!
Thank you Thoros!!
awesome Cam, always awesome 😉
Thanks, Davvy Crockett!
Music too loud, I'd rather hear power tools or narration of what you were doing each step and why.. That's how I learn hearing you more experienced blacksmiths with your tips of the trade.. Good work buds..
Thanks regardless
Beautiful knife 😍😊😇😎😘💕💞💓❤️
Thanks!
Amazing video! Also, I think I recognized an acoustic version of The Song of the Dragonborn at the end, is that what it was?
Thank you very much! Indeed you did hear that.
Nice video! 👌☺️
Thank you!
Yeeeaa new video!
Not the way I like to do things... But it's your way... Cheers
may i know the length of blade also thickness the look of it can be useful here in the philippines such a beautiful knife this makes me subscribe to your channel thank you sharing the video
Thank you! It is 3/8 inch thick about.
That's a pretty dope knife how do you get it to look musty dusty and crusty(old) like that it looks awesome 😊☀️🌵
Braden Keim thanks! It's a special compound that I should be making a video about soon possibly. Basically some vinegar and Etching solution. Thanks again!
xRoSkii ok thanks 😊☀️🌵
Beautiful work! Love the bloopers at the end by the way. What chemical did you use to get that patina on the blade?
Thanks a bunch! Yea, figured I'd throw some in the video for fun hah. It's a special compound that I should be making a video about soon possibly. Basically some vinegar and etching solution.
It looked like it worked perfectly. I would like to see a video on it, I think that'll be interesting to see how quick it works.

Not sure, I am filming for one now. It is pretty calm and boring. until today, another flying creature came from no where. So, hopefully in the next few weeks.
xRoSkii cool
Great Job!! One question; after tempering the spine, did you quench or allow to air cool? I've always been a little hazy in that area.
Thanks! Air cool, but I made sure to keep the edge in water, ( I had a soaked wash cloth ) to not let that edge get any hotter.
Interesting, I like it. Thanks!
I want one so bad lmao 😂😂
Haha make one then!
How would you just make it shiny?
Sand it with sand paper.
lots and lots of sandpaper! lots and lots of time! lots and lots of effort!!! but well worth it if you want that shine, but, either way this is a VERY NICE knife!!
Jist dont do the thing he did
