This is a great video about making a knife! No stupid music, no 3x speed on the hammering, and he knows enough about what he's doing to fill the dead time with useful explanation! I haven't seen the movement of metal explained during forging so intuitively before. I also like the fact it's real, no influencer polished presentation of scripted text, just him talking through the process. Glad I found this video!
Mahalo for the appreciation. These videos take time to do in our busy schedules. We try to keep it as real as possible, informative and Some laughs because this is how we actually are in the shop. Stay tuned. We are working on more episodes and trying to find a flow for content. Much Mahalos!
This video definitely deserves more views and I hope people jump on and subscribe. I love it when you do videos in this format. It's chill and laid back with tons of actual useful and applicable knowledge.
And yet the people with worthless knowledge are growing popular.
But that's not to say I don't agree with you...🥺🥺🥺🥺
Great to see you on youtube Neil ! I like the story in this video, slow and chillin aura !
I've learned more from this video than 75% of the countless videos I've watched. Just....thank you
I’ve wanted to be a blacksmith for a long time. Never done it cause money but honestly you kinda eased my worries a bit. You made a awesome lookin knife with a hammer, anvil and a forge for the most part. Imma save up and give it a shot. Your def the best blacksmith channel I have found and I watch a lot of blacksmith videos 😂
He definitely has an awesome channel. But he’s a Bladesmith, not a blacksmith. If your looking for specifically blacksmithing i would have a look at black bear forge as well as a good few others. I started blacksmithing a few years ago and yea you really just need a hammer, anvil and forge to start out. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
@@tuskcustomgarage This was my first set up: i.imgur.com/pxywv71.jpg Literally less than $100.
@@tuskcustomgarage John is amazing. I've enjoyed his insights. 👍
You don't need equipment to forge it does help but you can slam steal on sledge hammer face!
Well that was two months ago when realized I loved the idea of being a blacksmith. I did change my mind on blacksmithing as a whole and focus on becoming a bladesmith. I now own a anvil, angle grinder, forge, and vice. Got it all for as cheap as could while still getting quality stuff. Tried my hand at making my first knife recently and gotta say I respect Mastersmiths so much more. It is hard! But I love it. Def a workout. It’s satisfying to see my creation slowly take form. I also have now realized how easy it is to get upset over a small blemish. Seriously it’s pure rage 😅. Love this and I won’t stop tell tell imma master bladesmith!
I picked up more useful information from this video in 1 hour than in all the years of videos I have watched in the past. Many thanks Neil, a true craftsman. Cheers from Sunny Florida
You watch too much porn!!!
Hi, this is Anthony Smith. I am 8 year backsmith in Tennessee I love your videos thank you all for doing what you do.
I found your channel today and I'm so glad as learnt so much information from you
Perfect channel to learn so much from
Thanks for letting us watch you work! I feel like I learn so much from videos like this. I love your style of knives brother. Keep doing what you do 🤙
Thanks for the insanely comprehensive explanation, bro I've never seen blacksmithing visually drawn out on paper, great job I'm a huge fan of this content
Heck yeah!
Aloha and Mahalo! I know I'm late, but I have to say this is incredible progress since you were on the show. Hard to believe that was seven years ago.
Damn, the amount of force you put into those swings, television doesn’t do a smith justice.
I enjoyed every minute of this video. Record as many as you possibly can. I hope you understand how much your work inspires us amateur blacksmiths. Today is exactly 1 year since I made my first knife in my backyard with cinder blocks, grill charcoal, my wifes hair dryer, and a log as my anvil.
Please continue to make content for the smiths that are hungry for the foundational tips. Going over your hammers and their uses, how to swing a hammer correctly, and the importance of reducing the grain structure and why/how the process works were priceless little pieces of information. I can't wait for the grinding and sharpening videos.
Thank you for your passion. I can't wait to own one of your blades one day. Truly art ♥️
Hahaha funny how you started out, you must have seen the same video as me hahaha. Hope you're doing good and forging a lot.
Thank you for getting your children involved in the craft. Whoever gets this knife will be able to carry the craftsmanship of your family. Nice job!
Neil is so fascinating to watch especially when he straightens out the piece. I really enjoyed the mic placement. It made him sound like a powerhammer which cracked me up and what made it better is he was moving that steel like hes a powerhammer. Conclusion... Neil is a powerhammer
The dogs racing was easily the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all year. 🖤
man , you make a real good teacher ,thank you for making this , knive and the videos🙏🙏🙏
Much love , thank you 🤗you are also a bunch of beatifull people 🤗
This has been one of the most helpful videos I have ever watched on forging. I didn't really understand how to get a good profile, but you explained it well. Drawing it on paper and explaining the back and forth between hitting the cutting edge and spine was invaluable to me. I think a lot of other smiths don't take the time to explain like you have. Thank you Neil... Much appreciated!
Neil Kamimura, much respect.
I watched a video of you forging and talking about your life experiences.
It make me cry a lilbit.
I know when I'm out at my forge, all I'm focused on is the craft in that moment.
It helps me in a thereputic way.
I can relate to your story.
Thank you for being you, and doing what you do.
Neil, this 1 video taught me so much incredible information today. I’ve only been forging knives for a minute, but I’ve been a steelworker and fabricator for 45 years of my career. Please keep doing this for us… & Thanks
Amazing content man. Starting out at 42 this is exactly what I need 🔨
Man, thanks for putting out these series on knife making Neil. I just finished watching the series on the Kukri, I picked up so many tips. Thank you!
Thank you for this!! I’ve never forged a chef’s knife, but I will be trying one soon for a friend, so this was extremely informative (and entertaining). I love how you described the angles of the hammer-blows for each step. SO helpful.
You're One of the Best ( if not the Only ) Blade Smith's to actually take the time to educate the Ignorant
among Us ( Myself at the top of the
list btw ) ! Thank You !
You folks know how to work and play - both are important! I really miss living in Hawai'i!
100% agree with the comments saying this 1 video has taught me more than all the others i have watched. great info here.
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for this forging series.
as i a beginner blacksmith , this video helps me a lot , can't wait to see another video of your amazing works , Love from borneo indonesia
This is awesone. I've only seen this stuff in cartoons and films. And I just realized all of them were so wrong.
This is some of the best instruction I've ever seen & at the same time humble, casual & entertaining. You get a sub from me sir!
I honestly enjoyed every minute of this video. I'm glad to see the actual forging process using the hammer instead of the press. Most videos I've been seeing, the Smith will trace the design on a piece of metal and use the machine to do the rest. To me, that's not forging. You got a new subscriber 👍
This dude is my favorite Forged in Fire Champ. I can't forget what he in the show after his blade was tested on coconuts "I won't hear the end of it back home if I made a blade that can't chop coconuts..." Keep doing your videos. All the best!!!
Been watching more than a few black smith channels...you gave a lot of good tips of what and how to followed up by explanations of what it does and why. Better than the videos I have seen so far. Thanks for the good insight and good watch. May you be forever successful in your ventures.
Thank you for all your guys hard work ❤️🙏🏿❤️
I think it's beautiful that in America you can find cultures from all over world kept alive by people from that ethnic background. We live in the only country that is home to a mega multicultural population. 🇺🇸
Just stumbled on you on Facebook rating forging in movies. I'm HOOKED! Keep up the great work!
Loved it! Thank you for sharing your process, shop, and experience!
Thanks for just being yourself, honesty is in short supply these days, it is very refreshing!!
So much good info in one video!
Thankful for your ability and willingness to explain your craft. A treat to watch you work!
My favorite RUclips channel by far
One of the best teachers of knife making I’ve seen on here ! Thank you. Wish I lived close to u. I would work for free
Thank you for describing the steps along the way. I've actually learnt quite a bit by just this one single video.
Easy to understand and follow. Very educational, you are so eloquent.
If you like it, like it… i don’t like it…. I love it. Really amazing vidéo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 format perfect, much détails, well filmed, a touch of humour, can’t wait to see more !
great video man, im 100 percent self taught which means i dont know shit. videos like this help a ton
Super cool, down to earth, and informative. Lots of little tips just thrown off the cuff.
Great video! Thanks for sharing not only the technique, but the genuine atmosphere of your shop and family!
Fantastic video. I was one of the people requesting this. I usually worry about heat treating my blades when I forge them this thin, so I'm really excited to see your techniques for preventing/mitigating warps. Thanks for sharing your process! Looks like you all have a good time in the shop. Always good to see
Amazing content for free. Thank ya'll so much. The hammer sound for a bleep was perfect lol
The hammering as a censor noise thingy is brilliant, incorporate those sounds more often! lmao!
Awesome forging video! Very inspiring! Can't wait to see what the next steps on this knife are!
Love the video. Made it look fun, as it should. Taught me some lessons my elbow will surely appreciate.
My all time favorite skater is Hosoi!
RESPECT!!!
Love the long form video, can't wait for the next steps in this knife build.
Neil - this was just fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks Neil and co that’s an excellent video! A lot of good tips in this one 👍⚒
Have fun, and make a knife! Geoff Feder mentioned something on one of the podcasts about dancing from one grinder to the next. So, I threw on a Grateful Dead show while shaping and finishing the handles of three knives, and got groovy going from one to the other. Caught myself smiling a lot during the process 😀
I like your presentation, easy to follow. Been mostly architectural style forging myself, but thought I'd dip a toe into blade work for something different. Thanks for your work on this.
Ty. Enjoyed your video. Appreciated the exposition. Look forward to your next installment.
"Know your steel
Know your shadows
Know your heat"
Is such a great tattoo quote idea
awesome vid, obviously well versed in your craft. thank you, hope you keep pumping these out for us.
Bro congratulations on a beautiful shop, family and home. You deserve, I got the opportunity to meet you at bladeshow this year . One of my favorite smiths and a super awesome guy, I got their early and no one was around I got to hang out for a bit and look at your work. I’m a fan for life ❤ from Florida
Hands down one of the best instructional videos out there. I’ve seen so many videos and learned a ton more from just this video, and your coffee etch video. Thank you for sharing your process with us!
That's a MAN'S chef knife right there. That thing is huge! \m/
Great Choice of music. It was so relaxing
Thank you sir, for taking the time sharing your knowledge of blacksmithing it has helped me understand alot more .
You are amazing! I was able to take a weekend course on blacksmithing where we made tongs, a punch and a chisel and then got to make some fun stuff. It was incredible, but not as incredible as watching you do your magic. Thank you for sharing.
Man, what a swings! Thank you for teaching us, Mr. Neil!
I’ve been all over RUclips looking for something in depth with the process and FINALLY someone did. Thank you!!! Keep it up!
Low key I would apprentice under you 100%
I appreciate you brother and thank for show us the tradition of bladesmithing. This is good stuff.
Great Lesson!! learned a lot!! I'm looking forward to doing this myself.
Love it!
Phenomenal.
I picked up a good few tips and tricks.
Thank you for the fantastic content.
Great!! Gracias Neil
Beautiful work, and amazing to watch. It blows me away that the knife is practically forged to final shape. After watching many forging videos, its amazing to see this process so exquisitely described and demonstrated.
Its a god damn masterclass. Great content keep publishing nxt processes. Im waiting.
Thanks for doing this! I will probably watch this at least 10 times.
Amazing video, thank you!
Definitely like your videos, and the explanation to thing's. I appreciate you taking us inside your everyday life.
Remarkable work, thank you for taking the time and explaining your process. You’re a really good instructor. I’m not a knife maker, maybe someday. I work at being a blacksmithing. Thanks again, look forward to see more of your work.
Awesome stuff man, thanks!
i like the fact that you show how much work is put into forging something by hand, and all the extra steps that come with the proces.
very interesting keep it up mr kamimura
Absolutely the best knife forging video I've ever watched. Awesome work and great video.
I LIKE THIS MASTERCLASS VERY MUCH!! THANK YOU NEIL!! THIS KNIFE IS THE PERFECTION
I watched for the smithing, but loved it for the family fun you shared! Thanks for making my day! 😊😊😊😊😊
I saw you reviewing scenes on the Insider channel and the difference in how hard you work the metal compared to the films is crazy 😂
Mahalo for such an in depth tutorial. Sick.
This is a seriously high quality video. Keep up the really solid work! I love your way of explaining & teaching. Extremely helpful for a beginner like me 🙏
Very grateful for this video, much love from Australia 👍
I've seen your Insider video and I couldn't resist coming to check you out, Kamimura!
This was so good. I hope you are going to do more videos in this format, long videos explaining what you do and why you do it, and what tools you use. You pass on so much experience from long years of learning to others. Also having at proper full screen 16:9 makes it a lot more cinematic and enjoyable for a lot of people like me.
Awesome job. That thing looks awesome.
I've been cooking in redtaurants and what not since I was 18, and never have I wanted to buy a chef's knive as a gift for myself, but now I know that I'll get one made by you.
thanks man. great video
Vidéo exceptionnelle ! Sacré forgeron...Hâte de voir ce couteau de Chef à l'œuvre !
Bravo pour cette démonstration de forge...
great master class !
awesome video. Loved the tips about all of the hammers and working through and showing us how you hit the spots and what you are looking for.
You have the coolest personality, and you are so kind, this video deserves more views and I wish you all the good 🙂
