I’ve given up trying to glue leather while on the tang , now I glue up a stack and drill the stack just like if it was a wooden handle , I found it’s easy and less voids
Amazing Blade sir! That was a most enjoyable peek over your shoulder as you went through the process of this build, thanks for taking us along! Funny thing though; for some reason, and for just the briefest instant, no more than a whisper above the sounds of the shop, I thought that I caught the sound of a gentleman's voice over your other shoulder saying something along the lines of, 'hi I'm Bill, Bill Scagel, and I must say, that is one fine blade!', or maybe it was just the reverb from the Little Giant 50 Pounder . . . .🤔? Be well.
Just a tip…glue and compress your leather as a block before you assemble. An added bonus is being able to drill a tang slot/hole through the leather like you would any other hard material.
Lovely work. I just wanted to say that l am not usually a huge fan of brass, leather, or antler in handles, but the way you put them all together really ended up looking fantastic and compliments the blade very well.
That is one of the most beautiful nice I have ever seen congratulations I wish I could make a knife like that I know I don't have the money to buy one but I wish I did so congratulations on the perfect knife
When you were twisting the W s resquare the billet then put the twisted Ws in tile form and call it twisted Texas DubYuz 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Dub Yuz I bet it would make for a great pattern... Cheers M
I agree with James Downey. Nice to see you make the chop tests 👍👍. I am neither s fan of stacked leather nor of antler, but you still made a nice knife.
When I see people like you, I am proud of human beings, so much effort,and perseverance, a real man, the hands of an artist, I am happy to see this video, thank you man
Another Beautiful knife, I know you build them to be used, but that one needs to be showcased. Awesome Damascus pattern and beautiful guard and handle.👍
I appreciate your dedication to proving the hardiness and usefulness of your blades. I see you doing that chopping/shaving test in your videos and it definitely adds something where so many TH-camrs create something that looks nice, but obviously will not stand up to any tests.
I really like this one, my grandfather always said you may have a mind set but forging has a ways of telling , you not telling it, besides it cant hear anyway !!! Lol
You're very good at designing your own knife patterns but I was curious have you ever done a take on the Loveless subhilt fighter? I think that's probably one of the most beautiful blades I've ever seen.
I really love the look of this one u did a amazing job thanks for sharing it with us all till next time stay safe and I hope your family is all doing well as well thanks again
I greatly appreciate the progress you've made in improving your commentary. You've come a long way since even 1 year ago, that's great to see and hear!
For the leather stack, I recently tried drilling at hole at each end then using a wood chisel to make the two cuts connecting. It was much easier than a razor.
I really love the pattern. I am not sure, if I could sometimes make something as good. I try it (look on my video), but it was not as perfect as yours.
Deer handles are not my thing, and distressed brass, well I don't prefer that either. Thank you for showing me all the science that goes into the work that you do. It's mighty impressive when you come up with designs on the fly, you are very artistic. Now make an out the front switchblade that will go through a brick wall and not close. Then you would be the best in the world with steel.
now I see where the two layers of 15n20 make such a big and impresive difference to the final pattern, they really make the twist pop and super obvious ...definitely worth the time on the handle. it looks awesome.
In your future builds it is best practice to fully finish the guard before you install it. Trying to shape it after it is on the finished blade will only result in one of two things. You damage the finish on the blade or you can get a good finish on the top of thd guard.
This knife reminds me of the story I once heard about a young bull, old bull, and a field full of heifers. Beautiful end result nonetheless.
Great knife 👍
Very nice knife....great workmanship......and thanks for not editing out the f ups.
love the blade
After seeing the short I had to try to make a handel like that thank for the inspiration
Knife so pretty I just had to contribute the swear jar.
Real nice finish on the build
I bought one of your throwing axes. It remains a prized item. I would happily buy some throwing knives from you, if you would make some.
Another beautiful creation Elijah. Whoever purchases this knife, I hope they display it, for others to appreciate.
Thank you sir!
Yes😍😍😍
Nice work mate.🙂
good job ! keep it going .
Very nice
I've been forging for about 5 years... You made that look TOO EASY!
I’ve given up trying to glue leather while on the tang , now I glue up a stack and drill the stack just like if it was a wooden handle , I found it’s easy and less voids
love the combo of the brass leather and the natural shape of the antler.
Beautiful work Sir! Also thanks for showing the failure of the first handle effort.....as a part time maker I found that part very encouraging!
WOW!! beautiful blade, great work, keep well...

No worries. Just saying what I feel to be truthful. Looking forward to the next project that you share with us.

Love your break downs, and also how all mistakes are included as learning opportunities! Great job!
Dude this is such a badass knife. Outstanding job.
Great work. I watch your videos as many as I can find.
Beautiful pattern. I have become very interested in forging since watching 'Forged in Fire on TV.

Turned out very well, nice and classic looking.

Great build! Excellent way to overcome the "pains".
Beautiful, unusual knife, great video
Love the way that handle turned out. Keep up the good work!

You are correct to call this knife a " fighting " knife ( Anyone would have to fight Me for it , if it was Mine ) !!!!
Beautiful work as always.
Thanks a bunch!
Nicely done
I really like this one, my grandfather always said you may have a mind set but forging has a ways of telling , you not telling it, besides it cant hear anyway !!! Lol
Fantasmagorical results! I love the subtle blue shade of that steel!
Beautiful fighter!
This turned out awesome! I need to do an antler handle like this. Great job.
Thanks man!
Gorgeous knife
Sharp looking knife. Great Work as always. Thanks
great show!
I love your work.
You're very good at designing your own knife patterns but I was curious have you ever done a take on the Loveless subhilt fighter? I think that's probably one of the most beautiful blades I've ever seen.
Very nice finished knife. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and explaining your process. Love Damascus!!
Another nice job, and evidence that perseverance can overcome adversity.
I love the antler leather handle combos. Keep up the awesome work.

Beautiful
I greatly appreciate the progress you've made in improving your commentary.

came out great. cool build.
Wow! Very impressive. You sir are a master craftsman.
Awesome work!!! Pretty darn cool
Awesome Knife !!!!!!!!!!!!
Another beautiful blade
For the leather stack, I recently tried drilling at hole at each end then using a wood chisel to make the two cuts connecting. It was much easier than a razor.
Good idea!
OMG that is a beauty!😲
Beautiful work brother amen
love the knives, very well made and good commentary!
brass cleaning rods (guns) are generally 13/64 and make nice pins that are easily available
Great looking knife.
That is awesome!!
Beautiful work
That pattern is amazing! Top quality work as always 🤙🤙
I really love the pattern. I am not sure, if I could sometimes make something as good. I try it (look on my video), but it was not as perfect as yours.
Just beautiful pattern, love your homemade press! It inspired me to make mine.
The detailed accounting of your projects is excellent, not too long, just right - thank you!
That's a beautiful finished project. A work of art really.
Very cool knife

Beautiful blade, the handle's not bad either. I like the differing textures that make it easier to grip.
Great job!!!
Amazing stuff as always dude.
