I finally received this beautiful piece of art from my father. It’s hard to describe what it means to us... The quality is second to none. Thank you so, so much for creating this for me!!!
@@theriversexperience9383 you done a really great job .I have seen many of knifes made from a file but this is by far the best one that I have seen on utube .
Wow, I can only dream of someone making such a beautiful thing for me. I hope it gets passed down to your great, great, great, great grandchildren and further.
That's a BEAUTIFUL knife! You picked the perfect shape for that thick old file! It screams high quality vintage craftsmanship you can't get from a factory. ✌️
So much knife making content on RUclips anymore that it’s really hard to make a knife stand out in the crowd. Well you got my attention, absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
On top of it being something that his grandchildren and great grandchildren can admire, is that they can watch it being made on YT, pretty much forever.
Id love to do this with one of the files i got from my wife’s grandfather. He was a union boiler maker and then a union electrician later in life. I inherited a ton of his tools including a plethora of files.
I really like how elegant it looks from the side. I thought it would look big and fat with that beefy file, making the handle thick. You made it work perfectly! Nicely done!
I carve, create and build as a professional woodworker, so I’m a pretty skilled maker myself, and I gotta tell you: good job man! That was an awesome build and the final result was absolutely gorgeous! Your creativity, skill and workmanship are top notch. You have the right to be so proud of your work. You deserve great praise... Beautiful, just beautiful!👍
Beautiful knife, I love the thickness of the tang and the pattern of the file. Thanks so much for sharing. I started a small file knife about a year ago and got it ready to heat treat, but stalled on it. This is helping me get back on it. Cheers
@@theriversexperience9383 Hey, I forgot to ask, there is no “join” button on any of your videos for the members section you’re creating…at least for my YT app. I don’t know if it has something to do with me being on YT premium or not, but I’d like to join…just can’t see how to do it. Let me know.
A very pleasant shape of the blade and the handle, I like that you left the patern of the file on the blade, it looks good but most of all I like the handle, the colors, the shape and the finish, they are all perfect for my eyes. Thanks for the video
It's not just you - it actually is awesome. Very beautiful piece. I also like how you preserved some of the old file on the blade as a reminder of its history and its previous owner. Two thumbs up!
great job. i just wish if i knew about this type of hobby back a few years ago, i might be making my own. sorry i missed that window. arthritis. its a bummer
This knife is awesome, I had seen lots of knives making videos but only commented on this video so far, its because I love this knife and enjoyed seeing you makes this knife. Thank you
Just diving into knife making. This knife is beautiful, man! I love that you left the file design as it also serves as a cool memorial to the history. Great job
mines got a crook back and no teeth she cant bite ya but shell give ya a nasty suck !! luv the knife brilliant job she a work of art !! thanks old mate!
I wish I could afford a knife like that with an all macarta handle on the grip slabs for my EDC. Great looking knife. Thank you for making and sharing the video. Subscribed
Wonderful beauty. Finishing a knife is very beautiful. It is nice to have such a knife. I hope you have a beautiful knife like this. Thank you, brother
Stunning knife dude but... please lower the volume of the music. No problem with the actual banjo ditty itself rather it's just a little too loud so that it distracts a little
Thank you! It really depends on the design of the knife and the difficulty. I try to make sure I leave enough room in my time estimates for life stuff to happen, if I get it done before that then that's just a plus lol.
A few words about this knife. Amazing, incredible, stupendous. Seriously that is one hell of an heirloom piece. I hope the kid appreciates the level of craftsmanship that’s in it. Great job!
While this knife is not available, I have a website where some of my knives are available to purchase. Please visit theriversexperience.com/
THank you
What shape is this knife I need a template to try it out for myself!
beautiful knife and great idea how much would you charge to make 1 please thanks
Awesome
would love 1

I'm happy that you like it and it was a joy to create. I hope you enjoy it for years to come.
Christ only took almost a year

you're a extremely lucky lad.

There's full-tang, and then there's this.
Awesome build!
Nice and thick!
That is possibly one of the coolest knife builds I have seen on here. Well done and thank you for sharing!
One million views and 1.6k comments on my favorite knife! I’m so proud of you son!
Astounding workmanship! Truly a heirloom and doing justice to the heritage a tool can have!
That's a BEAUTIFUL knife! You picked the perfect shape for that thick old file! It screams high quality vintage craftsmanship you can't get from a factory. ✌️
Apart from the music bringing back to watching Southern Comfort, lol, the quality craftsmanship of this knife was beyond outstanding.
That knife is the most beautiful knife i have ever seen in my life...the shape, color, handle...everything...i'll be dreaming to have one.
So much knife making content on RUclips anymore that it’s really hard to make a knife stand out in the crowd. Well you got my attention, absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
I like it
Leaving the file intact on the middle of the blade works really well on this knife
Very nice job. Definitely a father to son hand-me-down that can run for generations.
On top of it being something that his grandchildren and great grandchildren can admire, is that they can watch it being made on YT, pretty much forever.
I am a knife Smith, wanted to say this knife is something to be proud of.
same here
looks great some modern things on it and itll still be timeless and look nice for years to come
Id love to do this with one of the files i got from my wife’s grandfather. He was a union boiler maker and then a union electrician later in life. I inherited a ton of his tools including a plethora of files.
Wow in my 50+ yrs of playing with knives that might be the most beautiful knife build ive ever seen. Great job wonderful work.
I really like how elegant it looks from the side. I thought it would look big and fat with that beefy file, making the handle thick. You made it work perfectly! Nicely done!
That knife will outlast us all. What a fun video. Thanks for sharing!

You gotta love American craftsmanship. Job well done.
I can't get enough of file knives!! Awesome work, Erick!!
Definitely a knife worth handing down for generations to come.

That is pretty damn sweet and the fact that it has meaning makes it even more spectacular. Nice work
A work of art…….absolutely stunning
Who the hell are the thumbs down people... I’d really love to see their craftsmanship.
How do you even see the thumbs down number? 🤔
Fantastic. What's amazing is you made use of an old file and made a durable beautiful knife.
This knife is epic! I’d be stoked for my dad to pass that onto me !
A very pleasant shape of the blade and the handle, I like that you left the patern of the file on the blade, it looks good but most of all I like the handle, the colors, the shape and the finish, they are all perfect for my eyes. Thanks for the video
Really like how you left the file markings on there, and that grain of the Zebra wood contrasting the laminate, very cool for sure, great knife!
The coolest knife I've literally ever seen.
I am so glad that you like it!
What a nice way to keep a family heirloom. Different job for the tool but the "soul" of the piece has been past down...
It's not just you - it actually is awesome. Very beautiful piece. I also like how you preserved some of the old file on the blade as a reminder of its history and its previous owner.
Two thumbs up!
great job. i just wish if i knew about this type of hobby back a few years ago, i might be making my own. sorry i missed that window. arthritis. its a bummer
That’s truly beautiful. I love the way the texture fades into the knife face
It would have been super cool to have seen the reaction from your friend when he seen it. Super cool knife.
That is soooooo cool knife! Very very nice work. Hi from Russia again!
You, sir, have some skill! That is one damn fine piece!
Great what to say. No words. Just BEAUTIFUL. Gorgeous..👌👍
This knife is awesome, I had seen lots of knives making videos but only commented on this video so far, its because I love this knife and enjoyed seeing you makes this knife. Thank you
Beutiful job with super end results.
THAT is a perfect knife. I'd love to see it with a nice quilted maple handle or something with a lot of chatoyance.
Just diving into knife making. This knife is beautiful, man! I love that you left the file design as it also serves as a cool memorial to the history. Great job
I'm normally partial to layered steel but this was a nice piece. And great idea as an heirloom.
Great work! I love that you highlighted the character of the original heirloom tool as part of the design! A terrific three-generation treasure.
I'm willing to trade my wife for that knife. she has a strong back and good teeth.
HAHA, this is an amazing comment!
But can she catch a chicken? That's becoming important these days, lol
Teeth are overrated 😉😉😉
Shane Van Wyk thats the reason why he still has his own teeth
mines got a crook back and no teeth she cant bite ya but shell give ya a nasty suck !! luv the knife brilliant job she a work of art !! thanks old mate!

It is really a very nice knife. The body size and thickness are very nice. I really like

Wow. Really beautiful knife.
Stunning knife dude but... please lower the volume of the music. No problem with the actual banjo ditty itself rather it's just a little too loud so that it distracts a little
hi, i really like the design of the knife, you could give us the patterns please
I’d say that it turned out absolutely beautiful and what good craftsmanship. Outstanding!
Thank you very much!
@@theriversexperience9383 anytime!
Sporty looking and nice craftsmanship.
Thank you!
What a beautiful piece you made there, when your clients ask for a knife how many days o time do you need for deliver the piece? Love your work. 🔪
Thank you! It really depends on the design of the knife and the difficulty. I try to make sure I leave enough room in my time estimates for life stuff to happen, if I get it done before that then that's just a plus lol.
One 4 me to...
Very nice looking fixed blade. That's a lucky son!
Shes a beauty. Your very good at that trade.
That's a little beauty! I didn't know you could centre punch a mark on a file. Best regards.
I have to admit that I am a littlebit jealous that its not my knife...
Beautiful knife! I really enjoy watching these videos, as I find it thoroughly therapeutic. Thanks!
This knife felt sharp even before it was made.
Absolutely love this knife... wow.. awesome.. greetings from South Africa..
Great knife , but STOP with that annoying music. Had to turn the volume down!!
Clawhammer banjo was a good idea. Nice touch.
Should have read your coment further down about you tempering the steel 🥴
Just seen the knife you made it's all some . Good job
