Why on Gods holy earth did 3 people dislike this video? This is one of if not, the most comprehensive videos on knife making. Fantastic job, very well shot. Your videography is fantastic. Well done.
Some people live in a throwaway culture, and the thought of making and refurbishing tools is an anathema to them. I love this channel, and have tried many of the projects myself in an attempt to learn new skills.
I do not comment on videos very often, but as I have some downtime over Christmas, I have been catching up on your archives. I sure enjoy your attitude. You are not a tool brand snob. You save old things and give history new life. Please keep it up. It’s a real pleasure.
Haha I read that really fast and saw “you are not a tool….and I chuckled…..and then saw, brand snob” and not sure what a brand snob is but, also wanted to add to comments: Dustin you are not a tool!
Shoutout to Devon, the camera man. Most uTube videos, even the very good ones are shot with one camera on a tripod. If you are alone in your workshop what else can you do? That’s obviously not what we are dealing with here. The shots follow the action. Clearly there is someone who knows what he (and you ) are doing. I’ve been around photography for a long time. You can sometimes get a lucky photo. Right place, right time. But, nobody gets a lucky movie. It’s clear you put in a ton of time to deliver high quality content. Right on.
I watch a lot of makers. I love The Art of Craftsmanship the best. Purely for the the style, calmness, his shop and tools, authenticity, videography and music is great.
I love the way you talked me through this process. As a newbie, I really need to get my head wrapped around it all so I don't miss a step. Sooo many steps.
Everything is so right about this knife .. the size ...the shape...the looks ....the contours.. the quality of craftsmanship that you put in it..the liners ..the walnut....I could go on and on..... I want one just like it.... And the sheath you made for it in the other video was just as awesome...
I’ve seen a lot of knife making videos and this is the very best one for a hobbyist like me wanting to get into knife making without breaking the bank. Thanks for the video
That came out great 👍 the coke bottle handle is hard to do without a contact wheel. Ive never been able to do it well with my 4x36. Looks like you nailed it👍
The choice of music and the cinematography are just superb! It makes for a very enjoyable viewing. I’ve watched every single one of your videos, and the fact that you manage to keep the quality of the content so consistent is pretty damn amazing! Keep up the good work.
You have a way of making knives and sheaths that makes a complete beginner say I think I might be able to do it too! Very simple processes with lots of detail and skill
I see a lot of demo knife making videos but you probably do the best how to videos, IMO. It’s hard to learn to do something new without working side by side with someone who can show you the way. How to videos like yours help me out a lot so thank you; sir.
I just started watching your videos. I have not made a knife yet, but I am learning alot watching you. I retire in a few months and want to start making knives. "Never had the time before now"! GOD Bless and keep the videos coming young man.
Absolute perfection! Told my ol lady years ago I'd make her a knife. Guess it's high time I got back into the art. You inspired me friend. Thank you! 👍👍 Btw you got another subscriber.
Love your channel, it's great to see a craftsman turn out the quality work you do... with tools anyone can afford. I tell everyone I know about the channel... keep it up ! 🇺🇸! 🇺🇸
Best video by far, watched it twice. Knife making is your strong suit. Making a knife out of billet ensures the quality of the steel which is what a good knife requires.
Mate….I think even Alan wood..would congratulate on that very…very …exquisite…piece of work you’ve done there,and the late Steve W Cox,he took over making the knife for ray mears,when Alan wood stopped….take a bow sir 😬👍👏👏👏👏👏
I've commented on this before, and I'll say it again: your camera person is OUTSTANDING! They have a great eye for the kinds of shots that keep the viewer's interest... I WISH I had someone like that to help me take my channel to that level of production! On another note, I need to modify the table on my 1 inch belt sander like you did- I keep my table level and adjust the angle of my jig right now, but I think I'll get more consistent results doing it your way. Great video!
I’d be curious how many people watch these videos and never think about that. I find myself constantly being just swept away until I snap myself back and realize I’m not watching a PBS documentary or something on Nat Geo. No! I’m watching TH-cam. Are you kidding me?!
I'll say Wow also. This is what a How To video should be like. Great comments with a ton of detail, yet it seemed like the time went by fast. Keep making projects and videos.
What an absolutely beautiful knife and a very excellent video sir!!!! This is probably the best knife making video I've seen yet. I have been trying to watch as many videos as I can because I want to make 5 custom knives with my four boys so we can all have something special to use when we spend our summer at the river learning and practicing our outdoor skills together. I love the glowing liners! We talked about using different color liners and maybe making our own micarta scales to make each knife unique to us. They are differently going to want this option as well. We have also been researching making our own pins and I'm super stoked to bring this family project together. Thank you for putting in the time to thoroughly walk us through this process!
Super impressed by your attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship. I always wondered why hand made blades cost so much but they now seem underpriced! Easy watching and a real pleasure.
Loving ALL your videos! Thanks for not only the content, but being so inclusive with every step for those of us that are completely wet and green still!
recently began knife works as a hobby and now realize how much more there is to learn,I am at least thankfully experienced and trained in the right skill set and do .hope to become a craftsman but you,master, are incredibly talented and knowledgeable, More so an Artisan Thank you for sharing and i do appreciate your quality,integrity,and sheer excellence,Sir
I'd buy two more HF buffers and maybe a vise because those are hard to screw up. There's lots and lots of things that nobody should buy there - hit up flea markets or used tool shops instead and fix up an older tool of quality. Buy NOTHING from HF that uses brushes (ie; universal motors), fluids, batteries, or consumables. Don't even think of buying a machine tool, welder, or similar there. It will seem like a deal at first, but it will let you down sooner or later and you will regret it. Thus spake the bitter voice of experience. Used tools rock.
FANTASTIC!!!! As a disabled veteran I can't afford a beautiful knife like that on my disability pension, but someday maybe. What a beautiful job you did! What a treasure!
@@edwardfletcher7790 These knives are nice but you really don't need them, a mora and an hatchet are everything you need and you can get them for cheap.
Dustin, I remember watching Ray Mears on a cable channel years ago on his survival series. They were excellent shows. I also remember researching that knife. You did an absolutely incredible job on this knife. I am always amazed at the temperament and abilities of folks like yourself. That thing sliced thru that leather like it was hot butter.
The 68 thumbs down here are 68 turds. The love you have for creating your art is awesome. The video was great. I wish I could afford that knife, the glow in the dark was genius and fit the black walnut perfect. Great work man.
I “love” how some people try to give you advice on how to improve, in their estimation, on your skills! I’m just trying to get over how beautiful your knife turned out! They must be great makers. Why are they watching your videos instead of making knifes to sell? Great knife. And perfect videography and editing.
It's a beautiful knife. And although I'm a knifemaker, and my knives are maybe *almost* that nice, I might still come up with something that seems to be a gem of wisdom to me that Dustin may not know - and if so, why wouldn't I want to share it? (Respectfully). I still watch his videos though, because he does great work, gives me fantastic ideas (the glove fingers on the clamps right!!) and his videos are entertaining and relaxing. I can't spend all my time making knives - sometimes you just want to chill and watch youtube. Especially quality content like this channel.
bit late at catching this video but your right those are fantastic little magnets. but you shouldn't go side to side on the quench keep it moving front to back along the length of the blade . going side to side can introduce a warp
Just one suggestion, when your open the valve for any type of compressed gas bottle that is a combustible gas only open 1/2 turn. Your will have plenty of supply and if anything in the pipe system starts to leak it is must faster to shut everything down in an emergency. My old welding instructor was a fanatic about that.
Your instructor was a fanatic that did not the school shop burned to the ground. You and I are here because of good teachers. Another point for everyone to understand is that propane is heavier than air. You can have a leak that your nose can’t smell. If it builds up to the level of a water heater or furnace pilot, BOOM! A man in my area was returning a propane grill to a friend’s house. There was a leak. He lit a cigarette and blew his van to the junkyard.
Why on Gods holy earth did 3 people dislike this video? This is one of if not, the most comprehensive videos on knife making. Fantastic job, very well shot. Your videography is fantastic. Well done.
I agree, who could possibly dislike this video?

They’re cretins I guess
maybe wants the complete video with the sheath process

Thank you so much for the kind words Ira. We try hard to produce them to a certain level, and are always appreciative when people notice. 🙏🙏🙏

Another cold, dark and rainy evening spent pleasantly watching a craftsman at work.
Wow! That glow liners not only look awesome but are very practical in the dark too. Great video and even greater job.

Great job. What a beautiful knife ! I want one !!
I’ve seen a lot of knife making videos and this is the very best one for a hobbyist like me wanting to get into knife making without breaking the bank. Thanks for the video
Отличный нож! У меня почти точно такой Здоровья вам и радовать нас новыми видео!
That came out great 👍 the coke bottle handle is hard to do without a contact wheel. Ive never been able to do it well with my 4x36. Looks like you nailed it👍
i made mine with an half-round rasp, i managed to get that shape litle by litle
You make some pretty nice one to bro
Very nice video and I felt very comfortable watching it. A beautiful knive and a really god work !!!

Man I would love to take a class if you teach one.

Awesome man!
A true work of art that is also functional. Well done indeed.
The Matt Brown?
That 🔪 knife is a work of Art 👍
The liners are a beautiful and practical addition to the design !

I love your craftsmanship and camera work. All of your videos are awesome and I have shared many on my website.

agreed. professional job.

I have knives in daily use that have been in use since 1918. I think you can pride yourself that your work will achiever the same reach.
Wonderful clone! Now, make a wonderful sheath, to carry it in!
i like the way you shaping the handle
Euphoric video. What a beautiful job 🔪
One hell of an awesome video.... the camera angles, knowledge, detail and craftsmanship are amazing. Outstanding Channel, thanks.

Great video, on a scale from one 1 to 10 this knife is a 10. Best knife you have made so far in my opinion.
Thanks Bjorn!

Rocking Your Shirt in Dark Blue Today! thanks for the Video! Great Work Dustin!
Amazing. You’re the first person to let me know they got a shirt. Thanks so much!
Great Knife btw i like the nightime effect :) @@TheArtofCraftsmanshipwife likes the shirt too
One of the nicest knifes I’ve ever seen..

Super Arbeit, mein Freund!!👍👍
love that you're using accessable tools like harbor freight stuff, many many channels use a $3000 grinder to make a $50 knife. Bravo!

Railgap Esoterica seems to be working fine for this guy 🤔
@@jadeddragon4254 yeah exactly. Reminds of that old saying about a bad workman blames his tools.
What is the best tool you can use?...... The one you have!
Mr Darren, anybody can do good work with top-notch tools. It take a real craftsman to use the stuff I have. 😀
Beautiful job brother. Thanks for the video.
Thank you
The only TH-cam video I have ever seen that has zero ‘thumbs down’ ! Amazing.
Loved it, brilliant video and a beautiful knife too.
archiebenno dude, you jinxed it!
Beautiful knife, very well done. Saludos, Anaco, Anz.
I like your work it show the skill and the sadisfaction you get when it looks so good.
I
Very, very impressive. Love the glowing liners. Never lose another knife at night.
I really like watching your project.
That is a cool and beautiful knife and glow in dark easier to find in night
Beautiful absolutely beautiful !!!! Great job
Love a horizontal grain on a handle. Beautiful knife
FANTASTIC!!!! As a disabled veteran I can't afford a beautiful knife like that on my disability pension, but someday maybe. What a beautiful job you did! What a treasure!

For those of us at the blunt end of the world's finances, the US$40 Condor Bushlore knife is an acceptable substitute...

Brilliant knife. Love the handle. 👌👍👍
Such a sweet job on that handle man. Superb
Wow you did a fantastic job truly Craftsmanship
You would'nt believe it but I have the near identical knife, down here in NZ. Another quality build and video Sir.
Thanks Chris!
all your videos are great but this one was my most favorite. You explained everything so well. Very nice work. You have an amazing talent.
My only criticism is that blade needs a maker's mark. Absolutely incredible work.
Nicest wooden handle knife I've ever seen, for sure ! Thanks for the vids and keep em coming!
💯❤️🇺🇸!!
Thank you Michael!
Just one word...... '' awesome ''
The 68 thumbs down here are 68 turds. The love you have for creating your art is awesome. The video was great. I wish I could afford that knife, the glow in the dark was genius and fit the black walnut perfect. Great work man.

Well done. With something of that quality would not a makers mark be in order?
It would. Maybe on some later builds.
Great film, keeping it real, thanks

What a beautiful knife!
Beautiful craftsmanship. Very nicely illustrated. Love the acrylic liner. I can't find it anywhere.😥
You can order it from Gemini, or Rowmark.
Would be great to see other iconic and “bushcraft” knives and axes 🪓
I have not explored the bushcraft style of knifes but I must say that is one good looking knife👍
just beautiful love watching your awesome work. thanks for sharing.
Awesome work 💪⚒💪⚒
excellent work, easy listening as they say...no drama just do something....👍
