    Of all the knife makers I've seen on TH-cam, the cleanliness of your workshop makes my OCD so happy. All the other shops are so messy, yet is yours is so prestige and organised, as well as super clean.
    Not to mention, your knives have super nice designs too!

      I kinda like having workshops be a bit messy. It gives them character.

    • @jagerfromgsg945
      @jagerfromgsg945 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Darius I wasn’t saying I have character I was simply stating it gives an “element” to them. I don’t even have a workshop lol. I do know people who do though. Ig the typical workshop I see is usually a bit messy so it’s just the idea I have of them.

    Your designs are deceptively simple in looks. But it’s the extreme attention to detail, metallurgy and craftsmanship that make them so. I’m totally in awe man!!
    And I love the satin finish on the blades. Yes - a mirror finish might look good to a lot of people, but use the knife a few times and the mirror soon gets scratches and scuffs. Give me satin any day.

    Also see good to see people such as yourself working to incredibly high standards.
    What an example to the young
    If I may be so bold Sir may I ask where you learn the art of hand made knives.
    A truly exceptional video please think this it was worth the 4 days editing for people like me.
    Many many thanks once again

    Watching this after watching the Infantry knife and although there's only a year between them it's amazing to see the different processes being use between the two knives. I know you are even further ahead with how you do things now but one thing is obvious and that is consistently beautiful and I am sure practical knives, keep at it Aaron. One day I will place an order, one day my friend.
