It always makes me feel good hearing master smiths admit that they still make mistakes. As a amateur hobbyist I'm very use to making mistakes and scratching my head working out how to fix them!! Thanks to Benjamin for some of the pointers working in a choil. Sharp blades all.
Hi David! Benjamin is a master of his craft but it was actually a lovely opportunity to show everyone that even a master, like you said, can make mistakes. The most important thing is resilience and persistence and that's what Ben shows in the video series as well!
Thanks Benjamin for sharing your process details and philosophy with the world and big thanks to UKBladeshow for a fantastic job on the video and editing side of things!
Thanks buddy - really appreciate the feedback! If there are knife-making topics you would like us to cover, please let us know and we’ll do our best to answer them for you!
Oh no! Apparently I'm a grumpy old blacksmith despite not being a blacksmith at all. I was totally thinking "Oooh, that's some nasty fishmouth!" Jokes apart, really cool video. It's so good to see masters admit they make mistakes and then, very importanly, show how they fix them and still end up with a fantastic product.
Hi Rob! Thanks for the feedback - me and Ben were having a good laugh about this hahaha! I hope you understand that Ben meant this in a humorous fashion (absolutely delightful guy and a talented maker) hahaha! Thanks again Rob!

Great video as always! Something clicked when I saw that oversized blade and realized how much easier it would be to make a forged to finish blade
Excellent spot there mate! I am seeing a lot more comments of people appreciating this as time > cost of steel in my opinion. Thanks buddy!
Amazing video, as always. I never really thought about forging over sized and then grinding it to shape. I've always forged to 90%
Same here! Looks like some good time saving as getting tip right can be so fussy. Love getting tips and tricks from this channel. Have a great day.
Cheers Shaun. I think time is valuable and I personally see the benefits too of doing Ben's method.
Very nice of you David thanks for the compliment!
looks really good, really liking that method and style of knife
Thanks again for watching Andy!
Sublime video as usual!
Cheers buddy! Thanks again for watching!

@@UKBladeshow Ben's humour came through loud and clear :)
