After a year of no videos, I AM BACK! Thanks for all the comments and subscribes, be sure to check out my new videos and keep that feedback coming!!
what was the purpose of putting the blade in the HF mixer? also, what media was used in the mixer?
What power hammer are you using?
thank you and excellent work!!
Rough finish blew me away. What a great idea. Each knife is different, different markings, different rough finish. Unique for sure. Well done, great video work.
Thank you
This is THE music for knife making. Imo. Nice vid man. Thanks 👍
Thank you!
*NICE KNIFE* !!
Thank you!
Proper useable knife ,very nicely done 🇬🇧
Thank you
I don't know if it was that epic music or how great this knife turned out but ...FAR OUT MAN … I fucken love this
Thank you!
I'm guessing you could sell a lot of those. Functional and cool. Nice video.
@🌟HAWG! only do as much as you want. If it's just a hobby. "If you are making money it's a business, if you're losing money it's a hobby". Mine is definitely a hobby
Dope AF knife, @HensleyHandmadeKnives! Now you've got to make an equally dope sheath/scabbard for it!
Wow!
Great looking knife.
Thank You!
Beautiful work
Tough lookin knife. Very cool. Well made video as well.
Thank you
poetic... and relaxing viewing: well done!
Thank you
Totally agree.
That’s an amazing blade. I want one just like it.
That's some good looking steel right there.
Thanks
Just beautiful
Thank You!
Outstanding ! His design reminds me the RAT 5, but i'm sure it's even better ! I just don't know from what kind of steel is forged, but it's realy handsome, and i'm sure it's very strong ! If i was rich man, i was gona buy him, no matter the price !
Leaf spring or 5160 is good steel. Properly heat treated it will take and hold a razor edge. This guy seems to know his heat treat.
Thank you
Fine craftsmanship
Thank you
Professional
Thank You!
Wow! Love it.
Thank you!
A tip of the hat to you my friend. Very well done video and the handle looks to fit your hand perfectly.

Thank you!
how is your HT procedure for spring steel?
Normalize and heat treat and temper just like 5160
Bumpbadabaaaammm! Subscribed
Appreciate the support.
It’s all preference man. I do both the rough finish and the nice polished finish. I have customers who prefer rough over polished.
Exactly. Most of my customers prefer the "rustic" look
Nice
Like that it can be done without 50k in tools
Nice job
Superbe vidéo j'suis fan de votre travail bravo 😉
Thank you!
Dude, awesome vid! You got another sub!
Appreciate the support
Thanks for your vídeo beautifull
Thank you!
Nice! If you can show me more of your work I would like learning from you. Thanks.
Hit that subscribe button man. Trying to make more and more videos. I don’t know where your located but I do offer classes
that dramatic music though.. Lol!
Классный ножик, небольшой клинок и рукоятка коротка как самое то под шкуросьем 👍
Some great work here mate. notice you watch forged in fire 2:25 you should give it a go yourself.
great taste in knives and tv series.
I was actually on forged in fire in season 6!
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives which episode mate?
Hi Hensley, that's great knife. Keep up the good work. Plus keep the videos coming I like watching your videos. REALLY NICE 👌
I appreciate it!
😍🔥
That's almost like a design I drew!
Great minds think alike
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives so true
Nota máxima eu gosto desse estilo.
Thank you!
great expertise ! which oil do you use for the grip ?
Tru oil
музыка только мрачная...а клинок хорош..мне понравился
он там РК на гринлере спалил
Not everyone can afford machines to make knives. I would rather have seen it done by hand.
Nice,can you make a serbian chef knife from a spring steel?
Sure can
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives ok,maybe you can send it for me in Indonesia😁
Eu um dia vou ter uma faquinha dessa meu sonho parabens meu amigos vc é um beli de um proficional
Thank you!
Everything i love in this knifemaking! Perfect piece. Just a question: how do you know the temperature of the heat treating? I use a magnet to know how to temper my jeap leafspring but i dont know if it's very accurate... Keep going! i subscribe ;)
Gran trabajo me puede decir cuanto vale ese cuchillo
Very nice knife. when you put it in the plastic tube and put it on the shelf, what liquid was in it?
Thanks. That’s ferric chloride
You a firefighter?
Sure am
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives firefighters, police and soldiers are the true heros in the world.thank you for what you do from an old soldier. Great knife too
Where did you get your power hammer? Or did you biuld it?
Raymond Head tire hammers, go look I’m up, great dude
I ’m from Taiwan. Can I buy a knife from you? I really appreciate your knife making process.
Right now I’m only shipping within US, sorry
Hi there,
Amazing work! I’m very inspired. I was wondering what you sharpened the knife on...it looked almost like a small belt sander with a very fine grit? Thank you.
Thank you! The sharpener I use is the WorkSharp Ken Onion Edition, and as far as the belts go, there are a bunch of different grits you can use to achieve the desired sharpness on your blade.
Very nice. What is that power strop, work sharp type tool at 6:50?
Work sharp Ken onion edition, with the 1x18 attachment
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives ah I see. Looks very effective. Thanks
Хороший мужской нож
Аага, шлифованный в бетономешалке, суровый как челябинские мужики...
Thank You!
Where do you get the saw hammer and stuff to make knifes
If you go to my channel and check out my shop tour video, theres some better details on my tools there.
Weren’t you on Forged in Fire?
Yes
Hey WOW Hensley 😎, that is a hell of a knife. How did you come with it? I need to learn from you ,man. WOW. Nice really nice 👌.
Hit me up sometime
Tbj
Thank you! Just practice man. I keep doing what I love and keep growing as a smith. I do teach classes from time to time in New Mexico.
Hey , how did jou make your epoxy ?
What was that thing you did to place the logo?
That is an electro etcher. I got mine from Jantz knife supply
Nice! You work on same grinder as me, except I have mine set up horizontally. How do you like the your flat disc sander? I was thinking about getting one, do you use it much? Awesome to see ya work, great video!
It’s alright man, nothing too fancy
pp
Where did you get your bench grinder attachment ?
Grizzly
Музыка классная. Решил повеситься под неё
What kind of oil did you put on the handle and what grinder is that
The finishing oil on the handle was Birchwood Casey Tru Oil. And if you go to my shop tour video I give a pretty in depth look at the tools in my shop. 👍
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives thank you
Alrededor de la cuchillería, el efectismo de las formas, bastardeo de modo notable el arte de cómo cuchillos, a la distancia no es posible juzgar si no solo las formas, siendo el cuchillo uaa eficaz y vital herramienta, no se lo puede tomar a la ligera, sin embargo a diferencia de los cuchilleros a únicamente el uso de la piedra aca se ve algo aunque insuficiente del tratamiento de forja que se le da a una hoja, otro detalle importante es la música, estoy harto de ver como se modifica el arte en desmedro de este, presentandonos mamarrachos insoportables producto precisamente de la ausencia de espíritu crítico, vaya en consecuencia mi aliento y buena vibra para ti y gracias por compartir tu trabajo.

What wood did you use
If I remember rite it was Rosewood.
Hensley Handmade Knives thanks
Нож супер одно интересно ано ржаветь не будет ??
С внутренней стороны ножен сделай полоску из шинели или чего подобного и пропитай её вазелином. Нож входит в ножны, трётся боками о пропитаную ткань и смазывается...
Даже если забыл протереть от вазелина извлечённый клинок, ничего страшного не произойдёт. Вазелин не вызовет никаких отравлений.
;))
found ya on instagram @thefamily_ak awesome blades thank 4 showing , peace
Appreciate the support
How do I get ahold of you,,to purchase a knife
Facebook is best for me. Have a page there. facebook.com/hensleyhandmadeknives/
Do you have a link to your website or an IG?
Both Facebook and IG are Hensley Handmade Knives
Me parece que la espiga quedo demasiado gruesa,por lo cual debe haber quedado muy desbalanceado ese cuchillo.
کارت حرف نداره من عاشقه چاقو هستم
Похоронная музыка, это к чему?
Ну так нож ведь делается...
:))
Ugly knife, but I like it!
кто из России
This knife is beautiful. But please turn of the funeral music. Btw why are you using the forge(that is not protected with fire cement which is dangerous for your lungs... Ceramic fibers... I'm sure you know... yeah.... 😱) for hardening when you have a heat treat oven???
That y i feel .....hehe
That forge does have a coat of protective cement over the fibers. And this knife I dident want to heat treat in the kiln to show it’s easily obtained in a forge if you know what to look for.
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives okay... just from the look of it I say it hasn't a coat. Anyway keep safe and thanks for sharing your work.
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives I do all my heat treat and tempering on my forge. I have a 1906 coal fired forge. I use water quench, mainly because that's what I know best
Not a fan of rough looking blades. Not my taste. Love the handle, but it seems out of place with such a rough looking blade.
62 people sit down to pee.
Haha! Thanks for the support!
Love the video but the music makes me feel like im watching Schindlers List.
Haha I know man! The struggle is real with finding good music.
@@HensleyHandmadeKnives especially when they say "oldies" music and you remember when it came out LoL
You know what? You are not the best knife maker on TH-cam. Hell, I don’t really like this knife’s design. But. But, you present the topic as well as anyone. To the point. The fact that I may quibble over a profile is of no meaning whatsoever. The notion that you are comfortable in the craft does. Well done.
Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words and support!
