    Idk what is better, the soundtrack to this video or the Damascus pattern

    In my opinion this is one of THE BEST channels on TH-cam, if not the best! Maybe their products are a bit expensive for a regular guy, but what they do is not just commercial, it is ART! Supported, of course by a lot of work!
    Congratulations and thank you for give me the chance to see all of this!

    Quite possibly the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen

    Way too much craftsmanship here ! :) and then you wonder why good things come to a price, this is ART

    • @MycketTuff
      @MycketTuff 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Some things are worth the premium. Modern cars and the filth society produces in large; no.
      Pure craftmanship and passion however..

      @Zbyhonj 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Way too much craftsmanship? Not really... using a belt grinder for basic shaping is a thoughtless waste of steel ...or more like heresy.
      (edit: but I have to admit, the finished knife is lovely and just about every other step of the making is very well executed. Especially that carving on the pommel, wow...)

    To say that this knife is gorgeous is a very mild understatement. To craft such an implement with so much love, passion, dedication & conviction; it's more akin to a spiritual devotion to bygone days where work ethics, professionalism meant something far more profound than today's throw away age. Such intricate work is rarely seen much less owned & appreciated then passed on to the next generation. How remarkable to see that some individuals have managed to rekindle that philosophy of bygone days. Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

    People need to watch this and maybe then they won't complain about how much they cost. Each piece is built by true craftsman and are a work of art. If I could afford one I would buy one but for now I can only appreciate them from afar. Keep up the good work.

    To my mind and way of life I strive for, after family and being as close to the natural world as possible, Craftsmanship at this level makes life worth living. To see and be part of these things makes living for the next day's experiences worth working and fighting for. Life is good and full of wondrous things... Thank you for further enriching the world with your efforts!

    it is all of a sudden extremely difficult for me. I feel a massive love for all crafts like this, woodwork, blacksmithing and leatherwork. and along with that I love movies and the way they are ade.
    This, this made some long lost feeling of being reborn long ago arise in me and actually, I feel quite emotional. A lovely knife, a lovely sheath, and a lovely video. Well done to you all

    @seyeruoynepotsuj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The amount of work that goes into a piece like this - the amount of craftsmen, and tools, and skill. If I knew the same amount of love had been poured into a knife I was buying (and I actually had the money), I'd gladly pay real money for it. I've fallen in love with this channel.

      Trollskyy your knives are what inspires me, and they are works of art, but works of art you can take into the bush and use for hunting or even survival. This knife is too pretty for daily use, this is what you pass on to a son, then he goes and chops a forest.

  • @alfbittner6489
    @alfbittner6489 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need a power hammer for damascus, and a big knife with a fuller, I'm keeping that in mind, lighter, stronger. The pneumatic tool used on the pommel was interesting, gave way to some fine art in the wolf. The hide used for the sheath was so hard the leatherman was almost whitleing the leather. Prety work by one and all beautiful piece of art.

    • @spektr540hemi
      @spektr540hemi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @Sansenforhansen Considering how little time and effort is put into production knives that can cost several hundreds of dollars, working works of art such as this are well worth the cost, in my humble opinion. A Bussie blade can easily cost 1/4 the price of this knife, yet at best, take 1/32 the time and effort to make.

    This is the most beautiful knife I've ever seen in my life (even though it's only been 15 years) and absolutely worth the money from the looks of it. I've taken a look at the website and it looks to be 100% worthy of the $2200. I'd love to have one of these if I ever get the money. Once again, one of the most beautiful knives in the world, probably nr. 1. Truly a work of art.
