Eli, your production quality has skyrocketed recently. I have been binging you videos the past few days to try and get some ads (also because I love them), and I gotta say that the video quality has always been great, but you just keep getting better and better man.
Seeing proper use of a tap/die set has restored my soul. Seeing you grab the swarf from your drilling with your bare hands immediately returned it to its shattered state.
Hey ZNA, can you try doing something cool every now and then? (with love from a long time supporter) Also, you just got memed. #butseriouslytho,yourchanneldoesntreallyfeelveryinspiredanymore P.S You're pretty talented and we like you a lot but we feel like your talents aren't being used to their full potential and it makes us sad to see some times.... Again, "with love"
Been watching you for the last 5 years or so, through the nonlethalbychoice stage, the sharpened squares, the bone splitter, nearly all of it. You’ve been my inspiration for the longest time and you are actually the reason why I’m where I am atm. I just wanted to thank you for everything, it’s been amazing seeing your content improve vastly over time, you can see the changes video by video, the lighting, the sounds, the consistency. You’re great. Thank you Eli. - Benjamin L
This dude literally has to move back in with his parents because of youtube and still makes the coolest things ever I love you and your content keep it up
I imagine this gets commented at least a few times every video, but as someone who's been here for a heckin long time, it has been extremely nice watching Eli's skill set grow over the year. Hecka proud of our boy.
Agreed man. Ive been watching since Parcourse (1/2) and the quality of his builds, videos, stage presence, and humor have just skyrocketed, even with TH-cam just continuously crapping on his groove, he keeps chugging along and makes some of the best content on the platform. He even got some sweet biceps along the way.
Eli 3 years ago : 20 min knife build, and yeah, I slapped a handle on it, so... Eli today: 2 min knife build, so yeah, that's the knife, on to the 10 min hadleing-part ladys and gents Loved it tho, great vid 🙌🏼
He knows we like it when he highlights his new skills. I’ve been loving the leather stuff. Someday he will get a full forge and make a knife from a billet hopefully we will see an Eli and Alec collaboration eventually too.
@@bingledorf no they don’t. They run ads on claimed videos and monetized videos. The whole point of demonetization is that brands don’t want to put their products in front of non brand friendly videos
@@williwonti that literally isn't how that works, and you saying that is a clear representation of what you don't know. Lets say I run a business and I want to advertise that business. I buy some ads on TH-cam and I say in the contract or in some other thing "don't put these ads over non brand friendly videos" something of the sort like that. and TH-cam does it anyways, am I going to buy ads from TH-cam again? no, which is exactly why its a horrible business plan to do what you think that they do.
I love how good Eli has clearly gotten. Like this video is all about the handle, but then it starts and he realizes he needs a knife to put the handle on so he just slams one out in a few hours like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “Bada bing bada boom knifes done handle time”
Hey thanks man ! Im finishing a hatchet im refurbishing tomorrow and ive been torn between wood scales for the grip or stacked leather and I think after seeing how that came out Im gonna go with the stacked leather !
Dude I love your content! You should maybe look into getting on Forged in Fire, you'll have to make some bigger blades, but it would be good to get your self out there and potentially win big! :D
Love your videos man and just wanna say can tell you're based and redpilled as cringe as I find those terms now but anyways wanna say as a guy in my 30s your videos are entertaining but you're also a great role model for the younger generation being a strong christian with good character.need more people like you in the public eye too many people think to be Christian means being a spineless worm when its more about being a good person thats strong and protects whats his and is good.Anyways that's enough of me giving you a big head because we all know it's big enough already...gotcha lol just playing keep making good videos like this man sweet knife.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 he mad both. The penguin is featured in his homemade weapons series snd he made a video showing how he made it, and built the fledling
Man your quality of work has improved so much over the years and it's a great thing to see, watching you fueled me to start making things and now try and start my own woodworking business and it's all thanks to you. You're an inspiration and an incredible guy
Sorry you got hacked, Eli. Maybe nothing went wrong with the handle glue up (that you showed us) because you were gonna get hacked. I don’t know, does sound a little cherophobic, but then again, stuff just happens... but maybe there’s a bright side. In honor of your hacking, you should put out some “hack” merch. Maybe since it’s probably still pretty pertinent in your mind, you might consider censoring a letter; say the A. I could see people buying “h*ck” stickers, hats, or maybe even hoodies!
I love being part of this journey, to see u improve on your crafts bit by bit, despite any setbacks u keep pushing, thank you Eli, u are an inspiration for many
Bruh I'd been watching you for like 5 years and recently hadn't watched you for awhile. I'm back now and was not disappointed lmao. Ps: the edits in this are I M M A C U L A T E homie
I had an idea for like a arm mounted mace flail thing in my mind is kinda junk rigged with a fishing reel spool the line fed down a tube into an opening above the wrist where theres a second locking mechanism besides the one on the reel where when you squeeze your hand and it locks the line at the length where you can then swing it around and I was thinking about having an auto retractor mounted next to the reel and on your shoulder ik its 00.5 you'll see this but if you do and think it's cool idk let's make it lol
Make a sword please you have not made one I wanted to see how good you are when it comes to foraging a hard piece of steel or or any metal that's hard if you can try to forge a katana type sword and a medieval type sword please I believe you can do it making
Hey Eli! Just wanted to say how happy it makes me to see your vids back up again. I hope you had a great Christmas despite this mess happening in the middle of it. Loved the video as always.
Rip the “Hunting knife” vids. I wish you the best for the future man. You’ve definitely made my life better since I started watching. And it pains me to see your videos gone

I know right. One can only hope to make it to that level of video making:)
His edits are smoother now but he definitely used to get better camera angles on his videos like two years ago
I was going to say this
Seeing proper use of a tap/die set has restored my soul. Seeing you grab the swarf from your drilling with your bare hands immediately returned it to its shattered state.
That montage was A+ . Great knife and great editing.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting that to end with a hoodie sales pitch.
Instead
I only received guilt.
10/10 liked and subbed
Honestly this video is one of your greatest, loved it
mate you succesfully tricked me into this like button
Instructions unclear, stacked some dough instead 💪💵
The tap and die joke killed me
This is a good video love your work 🙂
That's a thicc spine
And the knife has one too
Goes from being happy to straight up not having fun bro
I wish you and Gingium were best friends
I also shared it... Cause I loves you

I honestly feel like Eli's humor is pretty underrated. I came for the builds but stay for the memes.
Yeah I was looking for variations in people’s leather techniques but I’m subbing for the humor

Good idea 👍 it's fun
He kept saying "somehow nothing had gone wrong" he finally has perfected his craft. Epic
i literally busted up laughing at the end. You sir, will get a like forever from me.
Hold up, Eli makes this video then Alec Steele makes on 2 weeks later. Kinda sus bro.
I very much appreciate the Arnold Schwarzenegger cigar meme you added in😂
Dude I love your content! You should maybe look into getting on Forged in Fire, you'll have to make some bigger blades, but it would be good to get your self out there and potentially win big! :D
Who would win
Seasond blacksmiths with years of forging swords.
Or one knifey boi.
Maybe after he gets more practice
0:41 BUT BEFORE WE...OH! That was where he had put the sponsored ad before finding out they were a scam.
The only thing that this could use as an improvement is having the leather a touch more compressed, it would help the visual look and feel a LOT.

Man last time I was this early I told Eli he got hacked.
Hope you had a good christmas my dude
Damn... Awesome build!! It looks like a lot of things came together over the years during this project. Also, that threaded pummel was epic.

Haven't watched u in 2 years. Glad to be back. I'm so glad your still doing you
