Really incredible, Drew! My favorite build so far, seriously great work! ❤
Oh thank you Dennis! That means a lot!
Great product and great support , I wish I had them like you , Good luck soon !
Sweet build. Awesome to know Will was willing to help out so much. I love his videos. One of the top builds for sure.
Thanks!!
Well done young man! 👏 Seriously Drew, incredibly detailed and a beautiful Dagger! I’m inspired
Thanks very much
duude...by far one of the nicest looking blades I've seen! there's an elegance to it, simple lines, beautiful work!
Hell yeah!! HUUGE congrats man, what a good looking dagger you made! Keep up the great work
Thanks man!!
Fabulous work, Drew! This is beautiful. Nice job!
Thanks!!
Among so much other beauties.
It's beautiful and looks like functional so well done.
Thanks
Thank you!
Congratulations, Drew, on some incredible work to build this dagger. You have learned a great deal about metalworking and blade smithing at only age 17, and it will be great to watch you make more products in the future (I hope ... I just subscribed). Great job and Good Luck !
Very much appreciated! :)
I’m glad you and Will are working together.
Yes me too
Drew, this dagger looks amazing! Such a clean work all around!
Thank you so much!
Outstanding workmanship! This is a top-notch piece.
Thank you!!
The slim sleek look design are spot on bro! A+
Thanks a bunch Airin!
Simply stunning, a very beautiful work of art. Well done m’dear! 🍓
Thanks very much!
Great work on the free-hand grind. I imagine it was difficult to keep that center line symmetrical but you nailed it.
Thank you, yes it is especially on a blade this long!
A couple requests for the next video
Bust some dance moves while you're waiting on the forge. Maybe trim some nose hairs too.
Instead of using that cheap wood chisel on the lathe, try a banana.
Have you ever tried staining the blade with a cherry Slurpee instead of coffee?
BTW, I think yours is the most dagger-looking dagger of the lot.
Haha good ideas
Beautiful dagger, well done! it looks fabulous
Thank you!
Beautiful Craftsmanship 👍
wow !!! you did a amazing job on your dagger Drew you are very talented very kind of WILL to let you use his shop this is 1 of the best daggers ive seen so far amazing job 👍👍 for sure Mark
Thank you!
Really nice work- a beautiful piece that may win the challenge.
Excellent work man 17 years old and already making masterpieces, cant wait to see you get better!
Thank you!
The best in the dagger challenge! Well done.
Thank you! Glad you think so!
Outstanding work Young Man! I have to say that this blade is perhaps one of the very best of the daggers I have watched being built so far. I disagree with some of the final finishing but that is simply down to personal taste. Thank you for sharing with us your build, I would have to say that I might actually vote for your project, I haven't finished watching all of the daggers yet, but yours is definitely in the top five! Well done! Keep working on your talents, they will continue to grow and one day you might actually be another blade master like Kyle Royer! I urge you to seriously consider taking your skills to formal school, and learn as much as you can so you too can call yourself a Blade Master Craftsman, you have your entire life ahead of you, and being your own boss is the best way to plan for the future! Good Luck!!!
Thank you!!!
OK, smallest channel and youngest bladesmith, BUT, HUGE talent!
This is such a beautiful piece I'm gutted I found these videos after the voting was done. This 100% would have got mine
Thank you so much! That’s all right though don’t worry about it :)
Absolutely amazing work Drew! Well done!
Thank you!
You should be proud of the forging work you did, absolutely great looking knife. Will Is one heck of a great guy to allow you to utilize his tools and knowledge.
Thank you! And yes he’s the best
Honestly out of every build in the series this one speaks to me the most. It's elegant without being flashy, and it's well-crafted and has some absolutely stunning design work involved. Thanks for making this just so I could see it.
Very much appreciated!!
Stunned...Speechless...Blown Away !!
Yayyy that’s the intention!
Fun to see you taking part in this challenge!
Thanks! It was fun to be in
Wise and skilled far beyond your years!! Seriously impressive! The sky is the limit for this “kid” - keeping a keen eye on your channel! Dennis Tyrell definitely has an eye for talent - thankful that he included you in this challenge!!
Special mention and massive credit to Will for helping a fellow smith out - what a champ!
Thank you! Yes Will is great!
Stoked to see you enter this challenge, Drew! Will is a great supporter.
EDIT: This is an absolute phenomenal build, Drew: you have my vote! So much potential!
Thanks! He sure is!
Great job!!! Skill level is growing and growing!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely awesome!!
Gorgeous!! Great job!
Fantastic build mate, really well done!
Beautiful work Sir 👏
Awesome work Drew! It's an amazing looking piece!
Thanks James!
Beautiful dagger sir excellent job!
Will is an awesome bladesmith and you couldn't do better for someone to help you
Yeah he’s amazing!
Well done, you have made a stunning blade to be proud of, you showed talent and skill well . Great to see other smiths helping and guide you, this how it should be done, I hope some day you in turn will pass on what they have taught you and what you have learned yourself to future smiths. Once again well done, take care, God bless one and all.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful dagger, great work!
Tysm!
Dude, this is one gorgeous blade! I thought Tyrell Knifeworks had the nicest blade in this challenge, but seeing this piece of sharp art made me change my mind. And on a side note: nice Suunto Core, they're great watches.
Thank you so much!! Means a lot, yes they are great watches!
Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Tysm!
Excellent work Drew!
Thanks a bunch!
Right on man!!! Great work!👏🏻

Late comment but that is a beautiful dagger, I really love the damascus effect
Thank you!
Awesome knife Drew, great job!

I died inside watching you drill INTO your hand.
Funny I don’t recall ever drilling into my hand in my entire knife making career
Damned well done ! You have an incredible future ahead of you. I personally look forward to seeing more of your work !
Thank you! Always trying to improve

Thank you! He just might! ;)
Very nice build, Godbless

Tysm
Have come a long way since I found you on your mini power hammer builds keep it up buddy !!!
Thanks! Long time viewer!
That was a awesome dagger great build love to see you build a short sword to match the dagger
Thanks!!
Beautiful work there young man, well done.
Tysm
Nicely done
Be proud young man great work.
Thanks! I am
Si jeune et si talentueux ... RESPECT , P'tit . 🙂
Beautifull work Drew! And If this is your first try of forging guard I must say I'm shocked! You Rock Buddy!
Thanks so much man!
epic bro. looking forward to the next one
Some really nice work.
Thanks!
What a beautiful blade! I really love it! Must admit that I am not so keen in the music in the background of the video but that I can turn off! I guess, we have all different taste. :)
Love the dagger!!!
You say you’re the youngest and least experienced Blade-smith in this competition? Well my Man I can’t wait to see your future works then, as this is just amazing!!! Great work!!!
Haha thank you so much!!
It looks like a mini longsword. Great geometry, hope I can see you make a longsword someday.
Thank you!
Dang impressive dagger - that is an amazing accomplishment - the final result is a work of art. I think the old masters have to watch their back 😉! BTW - would be really interesting if you ever choose to get into crafting a Wootz blade - that gets down to concocting your own crucible steel so maybe not your cup of tea at the moment, but check out FZ's channel if you haven't already. Again, awesome blade! 👍
Thanks so much! Doing wootz would definitely be fun, probably not for a while though
thumbs up for that ❤🔥Most beautiful dagger i have ever seen before good job dude💕Im trying to make a dagger like that out of file
Thank you!!🤙
I’d vote for you if my husband wasn’t in the challenge! Shhh, don’t tell Dustin 🤫 But seriously, you made a beautiful and elegant dagger with clean lines and well-balanced proportions. The design is perfectly executed. We’ll done!
Haha thank you so much! No one would have to know... ;)
All things considered, this is definitely one of the finest daggers in the competition
Thanks so much, I highly appreciate it
Great job, Wonderfull looking blade. And kudos to Will, I've never met him and I probably never Will but I have alway enjoyed watching him work, personally I think he's a better blade smith then Alec and he probably taught as much as he learned. Sorry this is about you, not Will, what a truly beautiful piece of work. Be very proud of it.
Thanks!! Yes Will is the best.
Beautiful piece! I love the proportions. When I think of a dagger I think of nimbleness and speed. The Slim look is so fitting for the weapon.
Thank you!!
Well done! Nice job and a stunning dagger!
I will not vote for anyone, because each single knive is amazing, but I got to say I'm deeply impressed! 👍💪🗡️
Thanks!
2:48 Using a cutting disc as a grinder. Wouldn't let you use my tools again.
Oh well, but no that’s a 5/16 grinding disk and that’s all that specific grinder is used for in his shop :)
Too bad I voted before watching your video, I think the best job of all young man, a lot of attention to detail as it should be, you won my subscription
Thanks!
Ha!! New subscriber!!!
Thanks!
May be a stupid question, but why not quich a blade already in a vise to begin with. Seems it would help with the warp problem.... Could easily draw a few layouts that would do what I'm thinking of.,.
There was a warp but it corrected itself in the quench.
Dagger? That's a short sword. An oddly thin short sword, but a short sword.
I’d say dagger, only 21 inches overall
Очень крутая работа 👍
GJ
👍
Could you explain the purpose of the WD-40? To get more even heat during initial welding?
It burns up to lessen the chance of gaps in your welds.
@@Drew_lininger Interesting technique! Thank you!
Hey bud, good on you for making knives at such a young age. All I ask is that you pls, pls use gloves when using a grinder. That's a great way to lose a few fingers. Just a word from the much older and a tiny bit wiser.... maybe 😁
Oh thanks! I’ve heard many times not to use gloves when using a grinder and I’ve never done hurt myself because I didn’t have them but maybe I don’t know 🤷♂️
@@Drew_lininger well, you do what you think is best but I always used gloves with a grinder. If that thing binds up and kicks back at you, if your hand is in the way when it does, good luck. I just wanted to say something because I know how bad an angle grinder accident can be. Just a suggestion, nothing more. Take care 😊
Oh you mean with the angle grinder? I thought you meant the belt grinder. Yeah I’m not opposed to using gloves with an angle grinder at all, I do it with it. 🤙
sober and beautiful.
Imo, the guard is a bit too large, but still, that's an amazing work, you got my vote and my sub
Thank you!!
what's the purpose of the WD40?
To get better welds and less of a chance of gaps or cold shuts.
I've never seen someone use wd40 to forge weld. Also applying wd40 to the blade before etching? Oh, and agitating the tray of etching acid and making it foamy before laying the piece in.
I'm not criticizing, I'm just genuinely confused and interested because I've never seen anyone do these things before, haha.
The wd40 allows for a cleaner forge weld and the the tray has instant coffee that darkens the steel more than feric chloride will.
@@Drew_lininger Ohhh okay, I've heard of the instant coffee thing. The wd40 is still foreign to me. I'll look into that, thanks.
