    What I love most about this dagger challenge (even now though it's been over for a while) is finding new knife makers. My grandfather made beautiful leather jackets in the 80s. He had a small shop next to the open air meat market. Shame he couldn't get the recognition. I wish you the best, this was beautiful!

  • @Sualin

    this looks awesome man, i would probably have polished the flats above the bevels to a mirror finish after the etch so you get the contrast of the "silver", jet black and bronze.

    • @BKohnKnives
      @BKohnKnives  2 года назад +1

    Nice submission - came out really well! I was thinking "well, you could put tape on the blade to prevent finger loss," but then of course you did just that 😂! I have to admit I was a little relieved! I'm actually really glad you did the acid etch - I think I prefer the silver look, but I really wanted to see both. And your right, the bronze layer looks really amazing on the dagger! 👍

    • @BKohnKnives
      @BKohnKnives  2 года назад

      Thank you so much for those kind words. Even through that thick tape it could have sliced through and done some major damage.
      I think the black acid etch complimented the handle material better and that’s what pushed me into doing it.

    For the etching or not to etch, what would have been cool is to have made a pair of daggers and had one of each. For a pair of daggers with contrast.

      I was back and forth on that decision. What pushed me over the edge was the fact that the handle material was made to go well with the etched steel… and if I hated it I could always sand it off.

  • @DBCraftWorld
    @DBCraftWorld 2 года назад +2

    Symmetrical bevels are always biggest challenge, but you made a great job, Bryan! Small suggestion for the next build- In case of this kinda blades it's easier (I know, sound like absurd :P) to grind bevels by free hand. Denis made very good episode (Tripple T series) focused on grinding bevels.

    Ur work is raw as of now. The dagger looked unfinished and unpolished. And a humble suggestion, dnt pester viewers with ur subscription request. I will subscribe if i find ur work good, u dnt need to ask for it.
