I’m a 16 year old bladesmith and Jordan taught me a how to make knives in a weekend course a couple years ago and seeing him on one of my favorite channels is just awesome
@@jackyoung1155 building one is the best way to budget it. I’ll help you start, look up fire brick, you only need a couple of them and they’re an amazing way to insulate the forge
@@jackyoung1155 theres literally a hundred videos on youtube on how to build a forge from 20 bucks (i dont recommend that cheap lol) to 1000+. Every number in between and a dozen methods you can incorperate a part of from each of them. Saw a cool top design, cool door design, cool geometric body design, ect. from different videos and incorporated them all to make mine. Edit: of course by design I dont just mean the look, but also the different materials.
As a classically trained chef I’ll say how important the proportions are to a chef knife. Both smiths got the proportions just right. The bolster is important to allowing the user to vary the grip and maintain the correct balance. Nicely done.
Same here, i would prefer Jordans only because the handle circumference is bigger and since i have big hands would find it better for me but will’s knife looked very nice
@@bobedwards8896 Like any tool or instrument - quality matters more the higher your skill level because you can actually utilize everything the quality affords you. Quality also tends to mean longevity as well - which is important when you'd be spending more money in the long run because of how many/much of the cheap stuff you'd burn through in the same time that one high quality thing would last. For me, a total layperson? Yeah, these knives are an absurd level of overkill. To a pro - somebody who's using that knife tons over the course of their workday, every workday - yeah, they matter.
@@bobedwards8896 you raise a valid question. Imagine using a hand tool for hours a days , having one that works effectively and efficiently makes a huge difference in productivity. Sports equipment, woodworking tools, mechanics tools, quality high performance items make the work go smoother in the hands of a skilled craftsmen. Just an opinion of course
@@bobedwards8896 ergonomics matter. Think of an office chair: sure, you may get away with a £30 jobbie from IKEA, but spend all day everyday using it, and your body will thank you when you use one that you can adjust to exactly suit you. It's also the same with tools - sure my grandads old circular saw still works, but my Mafell track saw is a hell of a lot nicer to use, gives better results (more quickly) and isn't such a fiddle-fuck.
One thing I've always found interesting about you Will, is that you seem to be super well connected. I mean, you're a nice friendly guy so not surprising, but when it comes to smithing/knives you either know a guy, or know a guy that knows a guy, or know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy who can totally hook you up... not to mention other crafting folks you seem to know all over.
Will! I'm so stoked every time I see you post a video. They get better every time. Keep up the stellar work, and I look forward to seeing what you make next.
"They don't call me the Swordbreaker breaker for nothing" lol you're one funny guy Will. I can't wait to see how these come out. I thoroughly enjoy watching you make stuff bud. Glad things are going well.
Beautifully finished projects fellas. I love that the “competition” was more of a joke than anything… and you two just put your focus into making really great blades together, sharing time and information. This is quite relatable and a true joy to watch. Bravo.
Lmao your comments at the end always kill me. "Do your best make us cry, I'm gonna be doing that anyway" this is why I've always enjoyed watching you, you're one funny guy, and you do some exceptional work. Thanks Will
Will you are a very talented young man. I'm so glad Alec came to the USA essentially Montana because without him we wouldn't be watching you. Love your channel.
Hmm. I've never made a chef's knife. But I want to. I've never made an integral. But... yep, I want to do that too. Maybe I'll give this a try but the challenge will be long over before I can finish it. Those are great looking knives, by the way. That is an interesting tip about bedding the tang as opposed to making a perfect fit-up.
Hey Will, love your work and the videos, keep 'em coming. Quick safety note though, close that breaker panel door behind you in your Patreon spot. Not only does it prevent breakers accidentally getting turned off/on, but it helps prevent metal bits from getting back near the bus bars and wire connection points, which could cause a short or arcing. Just trying to look out for you! Keep making awesome blades my guy!
I like will. When he mentioned how perfectly fit handles can crack, you could see the humility on his face. Like he wanted to share the information but didn't feel worthy of schooling the master. I see no ego on him. Its nice.
ANY TIME you work with another craftsman, you will learn something. I learned that being a journeyman heavy industrial welder. Powerplants were my bread and butter for years, but I learned a lot from a couple of younger guys who normally worked in oil refineries and another guy who normally worked in Food processing plants. I hope y'all had a good time working together.
Those knives are gorgeous, which really gets me wondering something...... Are you planning on becoming a Master Blade Smith, Will? Because you're definitely good enough to start that journey and this video just confirms it!! I would love to follow you along that path and watch all of the knive build/works of art that you produce and it would probably make an amazing series on TH-cam. Great work again guy's and thanks for bringing us along 👍👍👍👍
as a chef of 12 years, and a blade smith for 26 years, those are both beautiful knives, I prefer a smoother profile on my handles in a chef knife, but that's just my preference, awesome job both of you.
I know it's been a month now, but I've watched this video at least three or four times since it came out. Great content Will. I'd love to see more of these :)
Don't know if I have anything to cry over, but ....really great knives- a win/win/win if you ask me! I like the limited run t shirt art- announce the production numbers and number them consecutively. Do a collab and donate a specific design to a contest winner's charity. Love how you try to bring notice to all the artists and creators that make something great. Still haven't found any tears- you scuffing a finger is pretty mild stuff for you, Will. I've got it! You've really got past that 17 year old puppy dog thing- maybe in three or four more years, you CAN grow a beard! FR
Jordan made the comment, "Stellar work Will!" Maybe next time, he'll make it easier and better by saying, "Stelter work!" Anytime you're doing anything to restore or otherwise improve the machines is always of great interest to me. I've also never seen you or Alec make a meat cleaver/machete type of blade! Imagine that big rectangular blade with a big ole' Damascus starburst or something, dead center in the middle! Mmm-mmm-mmmmmm! To quote Kody Wranglerstar, it "gives me the Fizz!"
That is what it's all about: spread the knowledge for current & future generations of bladesmiths. Alec & Will and most of the other TH-camrs are still young but give credit to the "old guys" and inspire new smiths of all ages...😎👍
It was good to see you back I'm sure you were all ways here I just didn't know it . I was very glad to see you making the sheath using that wedge peace so the bolster does not wear through the belt strap. I do that on all my sheaths at 78 I have seen many sheaths bite the dust just because of bolster wear . I be leave your the only one I have seen on you tube that has done this construction method it is the only way to go with large knives, as to the hold down strap it's also the only way to go . Good Luck young man keep on keeping on . Stay safe happy trails.
2 beautiful knives made by amazing bladesmiths... I love that even a master smith was learning, and Will man Watching you work is like watching Michelangelo carve David.. just blown away.
So happy to see the channel doing so well, and the great things and people you've been able to experience, Will. I hope to be able to take such pride in my own work one day.
Will not sure if maybe you already use one but a tack cloth with make an immense difference in the smoothness of the wood on your handle, I turned bowls on lathe for years before being let in on the secret, now I cant imagine finishing a high end piece of wood without one! Theres really no visible difference but the FEEL is night and day.
Noice, a new video. Beautiful blades, guys. This past week I just started my own journey into knife making and so far its being a blast. Yes, even hand sanding hahaha. I'm enjoying every minute because its just so nice to see your desing taking form from paper, to raw metal to a full fledged knife. The sheer joy I'm feeling is... I can't describe it with words.
As always love how pure hearted, kind, and hard working you are Will. Those qualities always come across in your videos. Bless you brother. Keep up the good work. I know you hear this a lot, but if you ever need graphic design work or help with a website my company would love to help out for free.
Will, this was a great video. Please consider doing more with other great knife makers. This association gives the knife maker exposure and will grow your audience.
Some natural friend chemistry there. Love you knives Will, got to honestly give this one to your competition, but both very stunning and very impressive knives👍
I know we've seen a few chef's knives from you, but it was also really nice to see a more specialty knife with the leather-working knife. I think seeing some other specialty knives might be nice. Maybe a boning knife or two (maybe one stiff one flexible), a finely-detailed paring knife, a serrated bread knife, a folding pocketknife, etc.
WOOOW that handle story was super interesting (I kind want to know more about that and interesting bits like it ), also seeing just forging a knife with those camera shoots are so entertaining
Something I think you'd do Will, if you read this, have a guest come in like this video and make a knife each, but pre-make a damascus billet and bascially halve it. So your both working with the same steel and same pattern and see how they look at the end. See how different approaches to the same pattern evolve. Maybe make it a 3 day project, 1 for the damascus, 1 for the blade and 1 for the finish.
Those knives look bonkers. Gotta say, I agree with the whole perfect fit VS epoxy when it comes to handle assembly. Mind you, I rebuild/restore chisels so it's not quite the same, but I find perfect fit tang chisels tend to split quite a lot more than those with glue
I would love to see you forge a Saex with as little modern tools as possible. Nice vid, nice guys, nice knifes. Wish I could afford one or two from you.
Really enjoyed the video, nice work! As for future videos, I like some non-bladesmithing content in the mix. It's neat to see practical forging of everyday objects and tools. That Montana vibe is always welcome too.
I just made a couple chefs knives. Took me so long I'm ashamed to admit it lol. U guys both made it look easy. Kudos! Oh and far as what I'd like to see, how about a damascus curved balisong!
Beautiful craftsmanship gentleman. Personal preference of a profile for chef knife design is to have a drop point, slight curve from tip through belly to heel which allows for smooth rocking cuts. It’s nice to have a bit of heel below / free of the swell of the bolster. A full tang is nice to add some weight to the handle making the tip a bit more nimble. An Appleseed grind is nice for a general purpose 8” knife as it makes for a bit beefier cross-section . Thought maybe some of the above might be food for thought for future designs. Again, great job.
As for things I’d like to see you do. I’d like to see you do a full bore traditional katana from bloom to finish. A multi part series likely with single stand alone videos in between as it’s a laborious process. Then I’d love to see you auction it off and make a small mint on it to support your growing business. Other things. I’d love to see you do some “how to” style instructional videos like when you said steel wool and oil the handle, give a longer explanation and show what you are talking about. Show how to fit and make a guard and a spacer. Show how to make a composite handle (liner and 2 materials) etc. useful for teaching and good one shot videos
I could imagine they were talking about cutting the sanding belts into thinner strips, so you can sand tighter radiuses. But that's just a guess, I don't know if that's what they meant.
You both did great work on them I have always wanted to buy a knife from you I want a Damascus blade. But I never have to money to get one hopefully someday
I only have about 10 maybe 15% interest in blacksmithing. If i can make me a smaller forge I would love to learn how to make a bush knife about 10 inch one. But i can't say it's something i would invent a ton of money into. Yet, I still enjoy these videos and respect a ton the craft. I have learned a lot watching someone else when we were introduced to WIll, who I thoroughly enjoy more, so I watch all of Wills videos and have learned a lot. Some day I indeed will make me a knife.
Hey Will, love your work, it is nice to see you at the shop! I've recently tried this exact challenge but fell short on the finish work. I'm enjoying your videos a lot, and if I may suggest you to check your audio, it goes up and down and sometimes there is a weird clicking noise on the background. Continue with the great work hope to see more soon!
This is like an episode of steel Vs stelter. I don't know if Alec will come back to the us but when he does you should start a series on your channel called stelter Vs steel.
I’m a 16 year old bladesmith and Jordan taught me a how to make knives in a weekend course a couple years ago and seeing him on one of my favorite channels is just awesome
Dude, that's really cool! Glad you got to persue a craft like this.
did he break your blade straitening it? lol
what do you recommend using for a forge on a budget?
@@jackyoung1155 building one is the best way to budget it. I’ll help you start, look up fire brick, you only need a couple of them and they’re an amazing way to insulate the forge

Will!
I'm so stoked every time I see you post a video. They get better every time.
Keep up the stellar work, and I look forward to seeing what you make next.
You could say he does.... Stelter.... work.
Get out!
It's so nice to actually watch an in-video ad where it's something you want to learn more about. Great job, Will! Awesome video overall!
"They don't call me the Swordbreaker breaker for nothing" lol you're one funny guy Will. I can't wait to see how these come out. I thoroughly enjoy watching you make stuff bud. Glad things are going well.
thats nothing, Will can break a whole Powerhammer in two just with a flick of one hand.
Beautifully finished projects fellas. I love that the “competition” was more of a joke than anything… and you two just put your focus into making really great blades together, sharing time and information. This is quite relatable and a true joy to watch. Bravo.
Excellent video! Great knives and a stellar edit! Well done all!!!!
Matt this is a good challenge for you. Would be amusing to see Ilya do it too
Jordan: "Steler work Will!"
And just went unnoticed! Perfect joke there.. 🤣
Will. When are you going for a MASTER SMITH title. I would venture a guess you would get it on your very first try. Keep up the Awesome work.
When is he going on and win Forged in Fire!?
He has a long way to go. Maybe 3-4 years
Lmao your comments at the end always kill me. "Do your best make us cry, I'm gonna be doing that anyway" this is why I've always enjoyed watching you, you're one funny guy, and you do some exceptional work. Thanks Will
11:47 love the music
Yeah does anyone know what it is?

I incredibly love the hand sanding station is a patented Stelter *TM sanding station that was stenciled and got to shine, loved it, Ha!

Powerplants were my bread and butter for years, but I learned a lot from a couple of younger guys who normally worked in oil refineries and another guy who normally worked in Food processing plants.

“Willi vs the Chili” feels like a Fall thing…
I tried that once before. Neither me or him enjoyed it.
Well, we are half way through the video: Will is hand sanding, and bleeding. I missed the classics.
but does he snap the blade at the last minute? I'll feel cheated if he doesn't!
Those knives are gorgeous, which really gets me wondering something...... Are you planning on becoming a Master Blade Smith, Will?

your a natural..in the way you talk to us...but in your skills as a smith that is awsome....
Beautiful work on these both. I don't know anything about it beyond just watching these videos, but they're visually stunning.
I love seeing all the steps in one video…please keep ‘em coming!🐋
I must say quality is getting better all the time! And not only the video making!

The update interview style room was a cool part of this video. Thanks for the great content!
Great video. Think every one you make increases in quality and the guests you have are great!
When sharpening his knives, Jordan likes to use his jawline as a reference to make sure that the edge geometry is nothing less than masterful.
I would love to see your take on an early American trapper's kit; knife, clasp knife, tomahawk etc.
As always love how pure hearted, kind, and hard working you are Will. Those qualities always come across in your videos. Bless you brother. Keep up the good work.
I know you hear this a lot, but if you ever need graphic design work or help with a website my company would love to help out for free.
Love watching you guys work!!! Amazing!!
Great music! It so fit with the setting and location of the shop!
Man, what a feat! 25 years old and a peer recognized MS! His best in show piece at Blade Show was incredible.
The knives turned out to be inspiring, and so did this video! Thanks for sharing your passion.
Jordan's on camera posture reminds me of the early days of Will being on Alec's channel for the first time
I think it's about time for you to start work on your master smith test blades. That would be a pretty awesome series.
Will, this was a great video. Please consider doing more with other great knife makers. This association gives the knife maker exposure and will grow your audience.
We done gents both knives are beautiful pieces of art
Im a starting blacksmith ive only been doing this for 9 months and i hope one i could become a master
will your just getting better and better really enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Some natural friend chemistry there. Love you knives Will, got to honestly give this one to your competition, but both very stunning and very impressive knives👍
I know we've seen a few chef's knives from you, but it was also really nice to see a more specialty knife with the leather-working knife. I think seeing some other specialty knives might be nice. Maybe a boning knife or two (maybe one stiff one flexible), a finely-detailed paring knife, a serrated bread knife, a folding pocketknife, etc.
Great job Guys. Those blades look brilliant. Build challenge ... I accept!
WOOOW that handle story was super interesting (I kind want to know more about that and interesting bits like it ), also seeing just forging a knife with those camera shoots are so entertaining
Those are both gorgeous blades. I'd be proud to use either one. Well done!
Great video will. Very fun watching you both give updates throughout the day. Lots of fun banter between you guys
Both are beautiful knives, great job you two..
Jordan seems like a cool dude! Fun challenge, too. Beautiful pieces. Thanks for posting!
Something I think you'd do Will, if you read this, have a guest come in like this video and make a knife each, but pre-make a damascus billet and bascially halve it. So your both working with the same steel and same pattern and see how they look at the end. See how different approaches to the same pattern evolve. Maybe make it a 3 day project, 1 for the damascus, 1 for the blade and 1 for the finish.
Lovely to see the new content. A healthy reminder of how long this all takes - you work hard. Thanks for sharing.
Those knives look bonkers. Gotta say, I agree with the whole perfect fit VS epoxy when it comes to handle assembly. Mind you, I rebuild/restore chisels so it's not quite the same, but I find perfect fit tang chisels tend to split quite a lot more than those with glue
I would love to see you forge a Saex with as little modern tools as possible.
Nice vid, nice guys, nice knifes. Wish I could afford one or two from you.
That blade vise is awesome I’m sure I need one
This is a stellar video Will. Beautiful shots by izea and great editing, combined with two great smiths, makes for a perfect video.
i hope you guys gave each other there chef knives to remember this day by
Amazing Chefs Knives Guys, those belt grinders are Killer !
They’re both amazingly beautiful knives.
Will when are you going to take the test .
Really enjoyed the video, nice work! As for future videos, I like some non-bladesmithing content in the mix. It's neat to see practical forging of everyday objects and tools. That Montana vibe is always welcome too.
@Alexsteel this is how you do it in one video..... 👏
Great vid Will - Nice one! Beautiful work as always.

Awesome job to both of you , to produce that quality in that time frame !
Always a good time watching your channel :)
Nicely done guys!👍👍. Love watching talent at work.
As for things I’d like to see you do. I’d like to see you do a full bore traditional katana from bloom to finish. A multi part series likely with single stand alone videos in between as it’s a laborious process. Then I’d love to see you auction it off and make a small mint on it to support your growing business.
Other things. I’d love to see you do some “how to” style instructional videos like when you said steel wool and oil the handle, give a longer explanation and show what you are talking about. Show how to fit and make a guard and a spacer. Show how to make a composite handle (liner and 2 materials) etc. useful for teaching and good one shot videos
I must say your knocking those intros out of the park!
What did Jordan mean when he mentioned ripping down the belt?
I could imagine they were talking about cutting the sanding belts into thinner strips, so you can sand tighter radiuses. But that's just a guess, I don't know if that's what they meant.
Love all your vids Will. See you on the next one!
Both knives look fabulous great work young man 👍🇺🇸
Awesome knife to make. You both did awesome jobs.
You both did great work on them I have always wanted to buy a knife from you I want a Damascus blade. But I never have to money to get one hopefully someday
This is so awesome! Love the collab. Excellent work, gentlemen.
Great video. I always enjoy the challenge videos.
Looks like your production quality is really improving! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful blades, great vid. Thanks guys!
Great video they keep getting better. Not sure if it's even possible but I'd love to see a knife made it of HY80 steel.
I would love to see a full set of kitchen knives. I’ve been wanting to make a matching set and would love to see the progress you take
I only have about 10 maybe 15% interest in blacksmithing. If i can make me a smaller forge I would love to learn how to make a bush knife about 10 inch one. But i can't say it's something i would invent a ton of money into. Yet, I still enjoy these videos and respect a ton the craft.

Well done to you both, beautiful work, great video, terrific edit, very good tunage, a super effort by all...
Beautiful chef knifes. I'm glad you guys took the competition serious and didn't just do a sloppy rush job.
Hey Will, love your work, it is nice to see you at the shop! I've recently tried this exact challenge but fell short on the finish work.
I'm enjoying your videos a lot, and if I may suggest you to check your audio, it goes up and down and sometimes there is a weird clicking noise on the background.
Continue with the great work hope to see more soon!
This is like an episode of steel Vs stelter. I don't know if Alec will come back to the us but when he does you should start a series on your channel called stelter Vs steel.
They’re both amazingly beautiful knives. If I were choosing one for my kitchen, I’d have to go with Will’s, just for the blade shape.
Great Job. Keep up the Steltar work
