I am enjoying the Live series. Watching Jason has inspired me to be a maker. His Forged online course guided me through getting started. I have never touched an anvil or knew the difference between different steels. I have already made my first knife and sheath. Thank you sir.
Hey Jason glad to see you have your own youtube now! I'm an artistic architectural blacksmith but love making weapons from history as a hobby. To see a master smith in action is rare and incredible.
I dig your blade crafting and learn alot.I have been playing at blade smithing for about 5 years now..and I can't stop trying. some victories and plenty defeats but I love it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi All, I started making knives last year after finding some elk sheds at work, pre - covid. I thought what can I do with these? Make a knife, and then I was hooked. I have added tools and skills every month and tuning into Jason's TH-cam has made a huge difference in my skill set. I also find the tools and equipment tips helpful. I just signed up for the three-class deal and look forward to learning from someone that teaches what I want to learn. Thank you, Jason.
My favorite kind of maker/instructors are the knowledgeable, no bullshit guys overflowing with wisdom but will make to work for it. Another sub for your fire! While I can certainly appreciate a power hammer for a production environment, before my hands went chummy I was very fond of my customized 5 lb sledge, railroad iron anvil and the ol' charcoal grill that I reworked with some extra steel and a blower motor for a very serviceable charcoal forge. Made a lot of great knives with it too, though my favorite that I wished I hadn't sold was an oversized Damascus kukri I made for a lawyer that wanted it for hog hunting. Took me a good two months but man, I wish I had it in my collection. Some knives come out so perfect it's heartbreaking to part with them.
Great video Jason! I appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge. It's funny how some guys forge, some guys melt (foundry), some guys weld, while quite often people don't mix the three entirely. I see all three as a means to manifest my will upon metal. Melting is a crap ton of fun and I started casting sword handles directly to the tang in aluminum bronze. No fastners. I encourage others to try everything. There are so many talented people out there and seeing them smile is worth all the trouble. :)
So much cool information you’re giving here. Getting ready to take a class but eventually I want to build coal forge and a cheap harbor freight anvil to get started on my own. Jason Knight you the man!
hi Jason...as a Filipino, I am honored that you made this video showing our traditional machete called BARANG....you nailed it with a twist..awesome...
Love your style , I use my power hammer similar to the way you use by moving to the side . Haven't seen anyone else do that as often . Great watching you , really motivating me to get rockin .
Jason, thank you so much for showing this. I have had an underlying shoulder issue for some years now. I have always wished to create with a forge but always had the impression that it involved heavy hammer swinging that could burn me out quickly. I understand that you probably do have to swing heavy handedly from time to time but, this video has really shown me that that may not be necessary. Thank you for a very inspiring video!! A may spend some time at the forge after all! Thanks again 😊
You can definitely get started for less than 500 bucks. My first forge and anvil was an old bbq grill with a bicycle pump for a bellows and I used the face of old sledge hammer as an anvil.
Hope you keep making these awesome videos. It's great for those of us with a more than two second attention span. I love the no editing/fuck ups and included feel, it kind of reminds me of a blacksmithing show in the spirit of Joe Rogan show.
Good man, I dont watch TV either! Great watching your build! I`m just getting started forging knives, though been doing stock removal since last year..Thanks for the videos
THAT'S AWSOME WATCHING HIM TAKE A RAW PICE OF STELL AND TURNR IT INTO A WORKING PICE OF ART AND YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY JUST LIKE MY METAL SHOP AND WOOD SHOP TEACHERS DID IN JR HIGHT AND HIGHT SCHOOL
Can you tell me where I can find the smaller anvil (rectangle with hardy hole, at 1:14 in) that you pointed out (the you are going to clean up and demonstrate later)? At least the proper name, so I can look it up for myself? Love what you are doing... I'm learning a lot!
The sound disappeared for a moment, and I was instant, like crap " How did I mute this? "...lol I would watch this hours, I haven't started working metal yet, so I watch for technique and creative ideas.
Roy Underhill... as in the guy from The Woodwright's Shop? I love that show, the theme song is part of the reason that I play Fiddle Now and Roy really knows his stuff ^.^
Just started watching your channel and I love your content. Seeing this and hearing you say you like "ancient" style swords have you ever made or plan to make a greek falcata or an egyptian kopesh.?
Hey Mr. JK, I really nice your knives. Nice work. But I have questions, you can't carry your knives around especially not here in the South (Tenn) so why? What do you think on this? A time and place on this. But, thank you for you teaching. Your the best I think...keep it up..
I was unaware that you had a TH-cam channel, guess I am just old and uninformed, anyway, could not click subscribe fast enough. I look forward to watching you shape steel.
I am trying to learn the trade i ended up with my great grandfathers old blacksmith forge and anvil date is 1906 so far i have done a few things with it and i am hooked bad going to try forge welding the next time I am off work
Hey Jason I'm just getting into forging my sound went out when you was talking about the series to get to help learn i was just hoping you could get back to me and let me know so i can get it
It came my mind that a little 5 years old bladesmith, forging a blade with a piece of play dough on wooden anvil. Is there a cutiest thing than that for his dad?
Hey again,mr.jk, especially 8-10 inches you can't carry that unless your hunting. You carry on your side. To town.. what do you think and you make those knives. Thank you P.s. I would be arrested or harassed for both.. something to think about carry on
this is probably the most educative livestream i'v encountered so far. have a question: i just found a slab of large, rectangular steel (weights about 30 kilos, about 50x30x5 cm in measure and has a flat surface), which was probably a part of work out equipment in a gym and planning to use it as my first anvil. do you think it would work efficient, if mounted properly on a platform?
Wherever the Catholic church was predominant is where the knights came from and the pattern that predominated in a particular knight came from would be his sword. In all probability the knight would have a sword made for him before he left home and it would have a religious theme to it's adornments.
great learning info have watched almost all your videos so far and have learned a lot from what I have seen but you so need a new camera team or maybe think about doing a training class on how to run a camera lol
I agree, even if I appreciate very very much seeing a real craftsman working, the filming team has to improve their skills like Mr Knight did, does and is not afraid to fail. So, I didn't meant to be rude, but the camera team should be as curious in learning about filming as Mr Knight is about forging. Everybody would win :) (ex: at 1:11:40 , just when a specific reparing technique was shown) , anyway, thanks a lot! :):):)
I bet the 6 people that gave this video a thumbs down have never made anything. They probably buy knives at gas stations. Loved the video.
Or Pelosi left
Many people dislike the video by accident, that happened to myself few times in the past
or are terrified of knives and never buy them. lol

I was like "man... I miss Jason in FiF" and suddenly this channel appears. Already subscribed, man.

What were his videos like? I've thought about ordering them.
Hey Jason glad to see you have your own youtube now! I'm an artistic architectural blacksmith but love making weapons from history as a hobby. To see a master smith in action is rare and incredible.
None of your videos are boring they are enjoyable and very educational

Not a boring video at all. I love your content and mindset. Great teacher and great smith.
As a person who just bought a forge and anvil. Seeing full process video's like this really paint's a picture of what to expect
Great video Jason! I appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge. It's funny how some guys forge, some guys melt (foundry), some guys weld, while quite often people don't mix the three entirely.

THAT'S AWSOME WATCHING HIM TAKE A RAW PICE OF STELL AND TURNR IT INTO A WORKING PICE OF ART AND YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY JUST LIKE MY METAL SHOP AND WOOD SHOP TEACHERS DID IN JR HIGHT AND HIGHT SCHOOL
Your camera men also are great . Do they blacksmith? They seem to know exactly what to film which helps greatly to see what your doing .
Can you tell me where I can find the smaller anvil (rectangle with hardy hole, at 1:14 in) that you pointed out (the you are going to clean up and demonstrate later)? At least the proper name, so I can look it up for myself? Love what you are doing... I'm learning a lot!
New to the channel, absolutely awesome mate , love your style and you seem to be a really nice bloke .
I forge but always love learning more. Thankyou.
thanks jason... love your work... please keep it up
Keep it up as I've been in search of a great teacher that doesn't like TV.
Good health. Jason's magic-statistics yesterday 8,130 subscribers. Today 9,003 ,,,,, Very happy for the knight. Fine blade.
I'm very new at this art how do I build a decent forge?
Love watching your work sir, sorry it took "that history channel show" for me to learn about you, and I also love to carry scout style appendix carry
Forged in fire lol
Really like your video's thanks for sharing your knowledge. Takecare
So Jason have you got any video's of you making a Kukri??
Dude love this video kickin ass learned alot thanx man
I’m very fond of 5160 leaf spring cause it’s a forgiving steel and easy to come by
So fun to watch.
Once our future location is more secure I'm gonna get a forge. My 9 yo really wants to make knives.
It’s not boring! Great stuff, man.
very informative & fun to watch
I love watching your techniques so definitely not boring haha, but I enjoyed the hand sanitizer tangent all the same!
Great beard and great live show!
great stuff big fan of your work
enjoyed watching learned some stuff thanks for sharing .
Jason what thickness are you shooting for thru entire knife ?
Also what do you think about the taper bevel on knives? Thanks
What is the purpose for rest the hammer on the steel before striking it?
Are those round or flat dies in the power hammer?
I would like to get started where can I get the basics for a forge set up.
Where are you located? Where's the shop?
Where could i find some pics of your tomahawks sir?
The sound disappeared for a moment, and I was instant, like crap " How did I mute this? "...lol
I would watch this hours, I haven't started working metal yet, so I watch for technique and creative ideas.
Roy Underhill... as in the guy from The Woodwright's Shop? I love that show, the theme song is part of the reason that I play Fiddle Now and Roy really knows his stuff ^.^
Thanks for sharing. I watched after it was live, how can i donate?

Just started watching your channel and I love your content. Seeing this and hearing you say you like "ancient" style swords have you ever made or plan to make a greek falcata or an egyptian kopesh.?
makes me want to forge a barong. I'll have to try that now!
Great video sir. The barong you've forged looks more like a Malay Parang
Jason, what's that fixed blade on the belt?
Hey Mr. JK, I really nice your knives. Nice work. But I have questions, you can't carry your knives around especially not here in the South (Tenn) so why? What do you think on this? A time and place on this. But, thank you for you teaching. Your the best I think...keep it up..
Not sure why, but all of the audio is only coming out on the left channel. Something to look at the next stream.
@@JasonKnightMS lol yup I heard 45 min after I posted that
my name is junior and I'm from trinidad in the caribbean. if i want to buy one of your knives how do i do so
Railroad Track good for Knives to be forward from
So as a starting knife maker what would be the most important tech tip i would need to know?
This is great! Some of the camera work gives me motion sickness though lol.
Buy a boat!
These are great videos
Ya cannot beat the Irish ☘️ 😍 🇮🇪
Great watch.i think.you will hit one million subs in no time very informative without all the B's
Hi, which German Museum do you mean? Kind Regards from Germany.ps. you are really good to understand , i dont understand the most Americans speaking
I make knives.. my first time watching Mr.Knight live tho..
Thanks for checking my TH-cam channel out and commenting here and on the Wakizashi challenge with my son.
I was unaware that you had a TH-cam channel, guess I am just old and uninformed, anyway, could not click subscribe fast enough. I look forward to watching you shape steel.
I am trying to learn the trade i ended up with my great grandfathers old blacksmith forge and anvil date is 1906 so far i have done a few things with it and i am hooked bad going to try forge welding the next time I am off work
Those make really good fighting knives. I wish I could find someone that would make me one.
Hey Jason I'm just getting into forging my sound went out when you was talking about the series to get to help learn i was just hoping you could get back to me and let me know so i can get it
How do I enroll in your 4 day class
Is this your take on what a barong should look like ?
Have you used a hammer from Jim Poor?
You should weld a metal ruler on the leg of the anvil so it’s always there
You got me very curious cause I’m from East TN
Your fun to watch jason
It came my mind that a little 5 years old bladesmith, forging a blade with a piece of play dough on wooden anvil.
Is there a cutiest thing than that for his dad?
Sorry I missed the live show, but great video!
Why don't I get the notifications? I blame Jason. It was cool anyways. Love me some 80crv2
The only time I have ever used the horn, was with horseshoe bending.
We're is your shop located at
Tennessee
@@broken1965 we're about's in Tennessee and how much $ fer a class
New Zealand!!!!!
Hey again,mr.jk, especially 8-10 inches you can't carry that unless your hunting. You carry on your side. To town.. what do you think and you make those knives.
Thank you
P.s. I would be arrested or harassed for both.. something to think about carry on
Jason, You ever done the forged in fire challenge? Be great to see a video if not.
He was one of the judges in the past
Benny BooBoo yeah i know, always thought it would have been a good watch to see the judges take the challenge personally
Did you ever get into Fritz the cat or any of those weird cartoons from the 70s and 80s?
Note Atlus anvil is 67 lbs and unfortunately, it's out of stock till they can get a new batch cast from 1050 (not cast iron)
Hey brother. When are you gonna come pay the Ladson fleamarket a visit? Let me know. Its mike.

33:09 No, it is not. Not at all. Thank you for doing this. This is better than watching Bob Ross paint.
