You are my first video in the build series! What an excellent dagger bro! I love how perfect your lines are. Beautiful handle material and the hamon came out great!
This competition has already been a complete success , as I have been introduced some excellent smiths which means more awesome art peices to drool over .
Wengles/Cole ... a great, simple, step video explaining the build and how details were incorporated. The dagger turned out great ... love how you carried the center apex through and into the handle. Thanks for the share and good luck!
I love the half-a-handful of smiths on YT that actually forge their swords/knives (etc) without super expensive presses and $$$ power tools! New Sub 👍🏽
very true about the fire extinguisher, and be sure to regularly check it's still holding pressure. I keep 2 in my shop, should probably pick up a couple more because I have very bad luck lol.
Nice work! I love the handle material, and how you gave the blade a Hamon, I had no idea that you could get the clay for it! You dagger looks very nice, especially with the stabilized Burl handle!
This hamon looks amazing! Every time I watching your videos I feel like this is so easy to you! Knife making is hard! You have very study hands! This handle was a challenge for sure! Nice work Man!
Lol it's not easy. I really should include more mistakes but when I'm pressed for time, taking the extra time to point out all my mistakes usually get push back to least important I suppose. Thank you Dawid I appreciate it.
Man that leather belt is still really cool to me. Great looking knife! Have you ever thought about using a coping saw to connect the holes in your guard?
Cole, beautiful piece. Loved this video. What was that tool you were using when scribing lines on the end of the handle block? I’ve never seen that before.
Nice looking knife, very clean lines. Where did you buy the polishing powder? Id like to check some out. Good luck in the competition, I still have like 17 videos to watch before I vote.
haha i didnt know what you meant and then i realized you were talking camera angle. i have the camera between my chest and my hands lol. i get a couple shots and then move it to finish. Thanks for watching!
Eye protection,ear protection, a respirator and fire proof gloves up to my elbows and yet you are still here to talk shit. You must be one of those people that still wears a mask in their car by themselves 😂😂
lol i did tell you how. but i will tell you again. The clay that was put on before heat treatment prevents part of the blade from hardening. then when you etch the blade in acid it reveals the hamon which is a contrast between where the blade was hardened and where it wasnt.
@@Wengelsworkshop Many, but I'm in Africa now, and I'll go back to China later, all inyoutubeCan't be used, can you send a link or give a detailed size?
Well you should look into it bc some very good knife makers including Kyle Royer would disagree with you. An extremely tight tang fit can cause the handle to split if there is any expansion in the wood. Which even with stabilized wood there will be some movement. Thanks for watching anyways Richard. Take some time to look into this topic and maybe you will learn something.
Это ваше мнение, и есть миллион видео, в которых есть только музыка или звуки магазина. найди их. многие люди предпочитают, чтобы я объяснял шаги. и сказать, что это отвлекает от творчества, просто глупо.

Beautiful job!
Thank you Rebel!
Great job, love that handle!
Thank you Mumod!
Cole, beautiful piece. Loved this video. What was that tool you were using when scribing lines on the end of the handle block? I’ve never seen that before.
Thank you Adam! it is called a marking gauge. its a woodworkers tool.
Nice looking knife, very clean lines. Where did you buy the polishing powder? Id like to check some out. Good luck in the competition, I still have like 17 videos to watch before I vote.
Thanks Phillip! its 1500 grit silicon carbide polish. I got some off amazon.

Really sweet dagger! Love the hamon
Thank you Drew!
Just the dagger nice work.
Nicely done!
Thank you James!
Nicely done
Thank you Kz!
Prop a stupid question. However, why dont you do all the grinding before hardening the steel? (I've noticed that everyone does it this way)
If the edges are too thin they tend to over heat during the heat treatment. if you leave them thicker it heats up more evenly
@@Wengelsworkshop okey! Thank you so much!
beautiful work :)
Thank you M V!
Great job!!!
Thank you Brigham!
How the heck are you getting the angles at 03:05? It turned out great. I like the simple functional design.
haha i didnt know what you meant and then i realized you were talking camera angle. i have the camera between my chest and my hands lol. i get a couple shots and then move it to finish. Thanks for watching!
@@Wengelsworkshop With a GoPro? It's awesome anyway.
Oh my bad it's a camera on a tripod. Not very practical for actual work 😂
@@Wengelsworkshop awesome!
PPE,,, shorts and tenners with no socks,, sure what could go worng
Yeah socks and jeans will save the day 😂
@@Wengelsworkshop Perhaps they will from burns and shards,, but real PPE will save your butt, I do hope you have EMS on speed dial
Eye protection,ear protection, a respirator and fire proof gloves up to my elbows and yet you are still here to talk shit. You must be one of those people that still wears a mask in their car by themselves 😂😂
Very Nice!!
Thank you WIllie!
amazing dagger
Thank you!
Nice blade.
Thank you Chuck!
How did you get the hamon? You didn't tell us that
lol i did tell you how. but i will tell you again. The clay that was put on before heat treatment prevents part of the blade from hardening. then when you etch the blade in acid it reveals the hamon which is a contrast between where the blade was hardened and where it wasnt.
Perfection!
Thank you Chuck!
@@Wengelsworkshop You got my vote.
Is this dagger you made for sale? How much can I charge for this purchase? Can it be mailed to China?
Thank you for the interest, but this dagger is already sold
@@Wengelsworkshop Many, but I'm in Africa now, and I'll go back to China later, all inyoutubeCan't be used, can you send a link or give a detailed size?
@@Wengelsworkshop You can give me a detailed size.
I'm sorry, but you misunderstood. The knife is already sold to a friend. Thank you for the interest
👍✌
👍
Thanks Don!
عالی
lol "hamoning clay"
you lost at the handle installation. way too loose
Well you should look into it bc some very good knife makers including Kyle Royer would disagree with you. An extremely tight tang fit can cause the handle to split if there is any expansion in the wood. Which even with stabilized wood there will be some movement. Thanks for watching anyways Richard. Take some time to look into this topic and maybe you will learn something.
Болтавня отвлекает от творчества, тому кто в теме и так все понятно, лучше музыкальный фон добавить к видеоряду
Это ваше мнение, и есть миллион видео, в которых есть только музыка или звуки магазина. найди их. многие люди предпочитают, чтобы я объяснял шаги. и сказать, что это отвлекает от творчества, просто глупо.
Well done mate, very clean
Thank you!
