To everyone involved in this challenge,
I have been watching most of you for quite a while. I am a huge supporter of small businesses, especially those that create and add a sense of community. All of you have done a great job doing both of those things. Thank you for sharing your journey’s with us. Good luck everyone
Thank you 🤝
Sooo happy for you!!! Those bend tests had me cinched up ! Love IT!!!
Tight as a snare drum! 🥁
You were so stoked at the successful bend test! Way to go!
My adrenaline was pumping!!! I’ll be watching your video here in a little bit!
You are always so positive, and so excited on every build you do. Love watching you forge.
Thank you buddy! I appreciate that you’ve watched for a while. Which one is your favorite so far?
I think I liked your bowie challenge entry the best. The dagger last year was beautiful as well.
Greetings Mr Kohn.
Great job.
It was a pleasure to participate.
Greetings
Thank you. 🤝
Excellent job! The torture test was making me fidget in my seat. 😅
I was a nervous wreck. I was so glad when it was over
Congratulations on the bend tests! Awesome builds!
Thank you! It was a lot of hard work but it sure payed off in the end!
Pretty darn good performance!
Thanks man! Almost as cool as your knives! 🤙
Great job Brian, that bend was a real nail biter!! 😯
Thanks Maddie!!!
Great job, Bryan! I was stressed out just watching you bend that first knife. Can't imagine how you must've felt when you heard that crack from the scales
Thanks buddy! I about jumped out of my skin! It was so scary! 🤣
rolled my chair to the other end of my room watching you bend your knives like that. Trying to get away from the shrapnel from the other side of the screen lol. Great job!
I was feeling the same way… watching myself knowing how it turned out! 🤣
Great job, Brian, on these knives and a fantastic idea to incorporate the ABS testing into your project. Thanks for the share.
Thank you for the compliment! It was a lot of stress and a lot of fun!
Dude Amazing Builds On Both!!!! Bending them would have me sweating bullets hahaha 😀🤘🤘🤘
I was so worried all the way through the bend! It was crazy for sure
Awesome job!!!You are definitely very good at your trade.
Thank you kindly. It’s been a lot of hard work and good luck.
Great job, B! You're ready for the JS test now! 😉
Just need to get the HT oven for myself! 👍🏻
I was so scared for you of them breaking! But they succeeded!! Awesome work man!
Thank you! I had such an adrenaline rush when it was over!
You’re welcome! And I can only imagine! Job well done!
I have to say that I am very proud of you for making it happen not only once but twice and those are good looking blades keep up the good work
Thank you kindly! I honestly felt so worried that neither were going to hold up to the test. What a happy surprise!
Well done Bryan! Really enjoyed this one. 🎉
Thanks Brian. I truly appreciate it from a friend like you.
That was a great build, and congrats on the success on the bend and cut test. 🎉
Thank you! It was an absolute adrenaline rush!
Very cool. Great job Bryan!!!
Thank you kindly
To echo other comments, I was so stressed watching the 90 bend in both of them. Wow, you should be immensely proud
Thank you. I am incredibly proud. Thank you for this comment.
Great job! Keep up the amazing knife making!!!!
Thank you Keith🤝
Wasn't familiar with your blades, but I'm gonna have to get one of your blades after watching your test!! Very impressive sir!!
Thank you! Message me on Facebook or Instagram and we can talk customs for ya
Very impressive workmanship
Thank you kindly🤝
Bravo! You should be proud!
Thank you. I appreciate this comment 🤝
Bryon great job brother thats a hell of a acomplishment you made 2 beatiful choppers i just ordered some CF from you today as well 😃👍👍✌✌Mark
Thank you for the order! I’ll get it out Monday morning!
Props for the testing there, pretty tough stuff!
Thank you sir!
Ive never made a chopper for testing like that but i bet it was an amazing feeling when it hit 90 without breaking. Great job bud
Absolutely exhilarating! My adrenaline was pumping! You should give it a shot. I’d love to see your version pass the test
Dude. I was so stressed for you! Congrats!
It was so crazy! I was so relieved when it was all done. Could you feel it in the celebration after the forged knife bend test? 🤣
@@BKohnKnives Absolutely! Those two blades earned my vote, brother!
I consider the ABS performance test to be more of a test of the abilities of the craftsman especially when it comes to controlling the heat treat to get specific properties than an actual practical test of knife quality. I could probably get a piece of mild steel to pass the ABS performance test by case hardening the edge, but it wouldn't make a very practical tool for everyday use. Still an interesting take on the challenge.
Do it and film it. I’d love to see if it can be done!
@@BKohnKnives I have actually been thinking of doing it for a while, as an illustration of how far you can push a terrible material. I don't know if you are aware of this, but a person on TH-cam who goes by Chandler Dickinson posted a video of making a railroad spike knife that passed a simulated version of the ABS performance test albeit barely.
Oh wow! I did not know. I’ll have to look that up. Sounds crazy
Kiln vs forge is not a test of the forge, but you skill with the forge. Kiln will give you mass prodused results, the forge's results will be based on you skill level. The fact that both your knives survived the chop and bent tests prove your level of skill.
I appreciate the compliment, but I disagree. I’ve had knives crack and otherwise underperform when heat treated in a forge. It adds a level of unknown that the kiln will remove. Reliability is the name of the game. 👍🏻
@B. Kohn Knives as you have actually forged knives, and I have only watched TH-cam I assume you are correct.
Good job. After the us test I straightened mine and made a bread knife out of it!!
Not a bad idea!
Next challenge needs to be a dungeons and dragons challenge. There will be rolling a dodecahedron. The resulting number will be the weapon assigned to the number
I’ve always wanted to do a knife where all of the major decisions are chosen by a D20 roll. Cool idea!
Great job Bryan!
Thank you sir! Can’t wait to get my hands on more of your handle material!
Great job Brian!! You had me on the edge of my seat during the bend tests! I could watch ABS TESTS all day, but I don't think my heart take it! Lol! As an Apprentice in the ABS, you really got me excited to take my test! Congratulations brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪
Thanks Bob! When are you taking your test? Good luck
Nice ones, this inspires me to try making/testing knife in this style. Probably never going to do it officially but just to test if i can do it. In Finland we have bit different approach on getting certified as blade smith, it's more school type thing in here. Lot of non knife making stuff also in it, like bisnes/marketing. But i haven't done that either, just youtube learning 😊
You are well on your way! You should film the test because I’d love to see it!
really fantastic builds, some of the others maybe wouldnt stand up to the test
Thank you! Remember to vote!
Nice! Real journeyman test when???
Hopefully in a few years as soon as I’m eligible
Hell yeah, Brother!
Thanks my man!
dude reminds me of chad from cold ones, except less drunk. haha
I’ll have to look him up.
@@BKohnKnives haha you def should him and maxmoefoe on cold ones can be a fun watch! tho this is borderline promoting someones channel, sorry! i love your content and am glad i discovered you in my feed! keep up the amazing work!
You can promote anyone you want! I’ll go look them up
Nice job man!
Thank you 🤝
You have my vote, sir.
Thank you kindly! Remember to share this video so more people can see it🤝
Not gonna lie. I thought I was going to upchuck if those blades broke. Didn’t puke but those tests by the abs are scary enough to turn your hair gray
Imagine how I was feeling! 🤣
Bryan where have you been my man great videos outstanding build🤙👊😂👋
Had to take some time off to move into a new house and a new shop
that was amazing.
Thank you! Don’t forget to vote!
Shop is looking a little different. Nice blades!
Juuuuuuust a little different! 🤣
You got my vote!
Thanks buddy!
Well Done!
Thank you
My viewer entry chopped through a 4 x 4 inch hard oak beam and then shaved so hah
😅😅😅
Ok but seriously what you did was super impressive, keep up the good work!
Best of luck my man.
One thing for Shure none of the other makers will do that to the knives they make for this challenge 👍
Do I have your vote? 🤣
I haven't seen all of the entries yet
Great job bud!!!
Thanks buddy! Your shirt is gonna be my favorite this summer. Thanks again.
@@BKohnKnives hell yeah man!
Good job, my friend
Thank you 🤝
❤oh that was painful to watch .good job I'm imprest ,blades should not have to endure such punishment
No knife should go through that… but it’s good to know they can I guess😂
Did it scare you when you heard the handle start popping😂
My life flashed before my eyes! It was a shock it didn’t break!
@@BKohnKnives for sure that first one looked like it might break at any second but the second one just seemed to bend a lot smoother. Good job on both
I was sweating bullets on the first one! After doing the first I was so much more confident on the second
😮
Thanks buddy 🤣
@@BKohnKnives your very welcome my friend. Forge on. God bless.
Shame u bluebacked them. Otherwise great job, nice n thin
I had to blue back them for the bend test. I would never unless a customer really wanted me to. 👍🏻
in all fairness you making it harder by squatting down and doing it! mount it waist high and go to town
100% agreed. That is the best way to do it
Seriously, I don't see a point in making those ridiculous tests for bending. No-one is going to use knife in order to perform like that, to bend in 90degrees. Its just stupid and pointless. The ideal knife is holding sharpness and also is easy to sharpen. Looks good and its comfortable. Period.
These tests are not 100% realistic, but people do use and abuse my knives. This is a test to take them to the limits and see what they can hold up to. I agree that comfort, sharpness, and durability are the most important traits in a knife, but how am I to insure that my knives can take and hold up to abuse unless a test then every once in a while?
@@BKohnKnives I get it, some people don’t have idea how to use knife, and that it is a tool! Same as other tools, it have its purpose and job to do. I’m not saying don’t test it from time to time, but this test, left you with banana knife😅 and if some of your clients will try to insert your knife in a vice, and bend it with pipe, should think about getting some medical help. Just saying. Anyway nice work👌
I hope nobody tries to bend a knife on purpose. I’m with you🍻
"Waaah waaah waaah. Period."
😂Wot a puss
Great job, B! You're ready for the JS test now! 😉
Thanks buddy! Your axe is so badass! Well done as always
@@BKohnKnives Seems YT posted my comment twice. 🤷♂. For the HT oven, you should get the PID controller for your forge first. It's only $100 and its as acurate as the HT oven. 👍🏻. I had mine set and kept it within +/- 5F.
And I responded to both! Gotta keep those interactions going!
Yea. That PID situation is on my short list
