Fancy stainless! And custom fasteners!
Thank you sir! Solid labor on your end as well!
That is a sick first chef knife, not bad for someone who spells their name wrong
Lol! Cheers sir!
Damn James!! That is some beautiful work! Great job brother.
Thank you greatly sir! Solid labor yourself! 🙌
Awesome job, James!! I love that you used the lathe to make the fasteners. 👍🏻
Thank you greatly Tyrell! Solid work yourself!
Yess! Tape and ca glue all the time! It's been a while since I made a full tang knife but last few times I've used the same tecnique to match drill tang holes and it also works like a charm!
Very elegant my friend. Epic fit and finish! Cheers!
We shall wait for him to comment
Thank you greatly sir! Glad you enjoyed this one. Next time I'll have to use a tad less CA Glue!
Just goes to show that simple is not always bad and in this case was perfectly executed. I loved the smooth lines of the knife that were superbly contrasted by the rich depth of the handle
Thank you greatly Brian! Cheers sir
Outstanding my red friend!!! Congrats!! You are the winner for sure!!
Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed this one
Great video and I really appreciate the level of explanation - watching cool montages is fine but I like to know what's happening so thanks for taking the time to explain. Also I'm going to steal your flat surface vacuum check...that's genius!
This is exactly how I felt
Heck yeah thanks Damian! Glad you liked it. Same to you AARON
It is crazy that many of my favorite dudes on youtube are working on one specific project. I found new channels to subscribe to and learned a crap ton. Red beard and the art of craftsmanship do a great job explaining what and how they are doing it... you two get my votes purely for showing how accessible it is. Good work guys! Loved all of them . Keep doing these challenges!
Thank you greatly! I'm stoked you enjoyed the challenge!
Cannot imagine how I've been unaware of this channel, but the challenge brought me here, and the quality of your work and your clear and useful explanations brought you a new subscriber. Thank you!
Welcome aboard! Glad to hear it sir. Have a great week!
simplicity is beauty, nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love that simple design and very clean finish
Thank you greatly!
Very happy you posted this right after I asked! Great timing
Lol, thanks man!
This is really a chef's knife for a real chef cook. Thumbs up ! A very nice and accomplished job :-)
Thanks Jack! Glad you liked it!
This turned out very well!
Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you liked them!
That chef knife belongs in my kitchen! Its so magnificent, I love it! Thank you for making this build, it was awesome to watch.
Thanks Charles!
OMG, you are a true master!! You want to perfect every aspect of the process. Leather craft, welding, and the list goes on. Beautiful piece of cutlery sir!!!

Glad you liked it!
Great work as always thats a beautiful knife..
Thank you! Cheers! Have a great weekend!
Great build..beautiful knife. Should be a winner.
Cheers Glen! Thanks
That looks great!
Thank you!!
Well, I've watched them all. Not one of them disappointed me. All were really good. Saw some new techniques. My summary....This knife and one other stood above the rest. James' knife being in the top two (to me) wasn't surprising at all. The other one was surprising. Now to figure out how to use the voting gizmo! Great work James!
Thank you greatly Wayne! Glad you enjoyed the build!
A very beautiful and home workable knife.
Thank you Keith!
One of my favorite, with BBP and Tyrell, I let myself still some time before choosing. Anyway, I like the simplicity of this one, a beauty !
Thank you! Cheers! Glad you enjoyed the build.
Super clean knife man! I'd use the heck out of it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Knife look super cool. Loved it. I really appreciate your attention to the details. Handle look beautiful with the liners. Sure one of the best knife in the challenge👍👍🔥🔥
Thank you! Cheers! Have a great weekend 🙌
New subscriber! The challenge brought me here. Beautiful knife. Good luck on the challenge. I have five more to watch!

Nice video! I missed watching you work!
Thanks! Sorry, my out put has been slow lately
@@RedBeardOps don't be sorry, brother! I'll be here when you do! Enjoy your content on the Bladeforums, too.
super awesome! i’d just thin it out a bit
Thank you! Cheers!
You did a damn fine job brother. As you said, simple and simply beautiful....or something like that lol an as always, A class video
Thank you greatly sir!!
10 superb gyuto knives! 🤩
Congratulations to the 10 participants and I hope this is only the first collaboration of a long series. 😍
I was able to enjoy seeing the blades making, from, at first glance, simple to complex and all would have their place in my kitchen ... except, maybe, the Faraway Forge one, my kitchen is too small 🤣
Glad you liked the builds man! Very fun collaboration for sure!
Impressive!
Much appreciated!!
Beautiful knife! You guys are not making it easy for us voters
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you greatly!!
@@RedBeardOps You're very welcome!!
Very nice
Thanks Don!
formidable
Thanks man!
I’m a little late to the party and I missed the vote. This would have been it though, as someone who has been in and around professional kitchens for 25 years hands down this would be my go to. It has classic lines that would accommodate any cutting need with the heft to back it up on tough jobs, that tip is likely able to do some paring work. This a great all around workhorse I would pick up for getting the job done with all 10 knives in front of me. Simple is elegant and the fact that you made every piece of hardware is amazing. This is amazing for a 1st chef knife.
Victor, thank you greatly for your comment! 25 years is a ton of experience; which makes me super excited about your feedback! Cheers
Nice knife and a great job done considering its your first try making a Chef knife.
Thanks Mike!
Nicely finished knife. I say go thinner on the grind.
Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers
I always forget that you upload videos and Friday and then it's a nice surprise for me!
PS: Jarod Todd is the man! Heat treated 20 blanks for me in November and 15 of them were 61.5 and 5 were 62 RC. I asked for 61-62. Can't ask for more accuracy!!
He sure did a great job! Very smooth process. And thanks! I’ve been trying for two a month, but am currently moving to a larger shop… so things have slowed. Cheers!
Как всегда приятно смотреть. Других мастеров также посмотрел. Молодцы.
Большое вам спасибо!
I have those same magnetic lights. Got a 3pk for pretty cheap.
Love em!
Meu heroi !
Que bom que gostou!
Nice shout out to Jared Todd!! I send him all my AEBL.
Very continent for sure!!
Very nice !+++
💪💪💪
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi James, I haven‘t seen the other knives yet, but you have set quite a mark there. Well done!
Thanks Heiko , glad you liked it!
After checking the other builds I would say ist definetely paid off to keep it simple. Nevertheless my vote went to Tyrell Kniveworks. His beautifull damascus Made the difference.
If it came to the presentation, you would be tied in first place with The Art Of Craftsmanship.
@@heikolang335 Thank you! Cheers
Das fancy
Thank you! Cheers!
Beauty 👌
Thank you greatly!
Great job man! Where did you get that vacuum hose when using the surface grinder?
Hey man, I’m away from my machine right now, but you can look back to the “my new grinder” video. I show it there
James, your knives are always so cleanly finished, man. Very impressed with this knife!
Hope it’s all going well, too.
(I saw the Texas Instruments calculator 👍🏻)
Heck yeah, glad you liked it sir!
@@RedBeardOps Knifemaker in Texas simply MUST have a TI calc right? It's just natural
@@Reploidx9 lol for sure!
You got some pretty tough competition in this challenge, House had a fantastic knife and so did Rivers...and then there was the world's biggest chef knife LOL. It's not the flashiest, but I think yours wins overall for practicality, simplicity, strength, corrosion resistance in a kitchen environment (damascus looks great but it sucks having to constantly clean it), and accuracy of the finished product.
You’re 100% right! Those guys have amazing blades! Thank you for your comments, sir!
Man really forgot that “dot dot not a lot” thing from kindergarten XD
Good job on the knife, it came out amazing
Thank you sir!
@@RedBeardOps
No problem man
Just love your videos. So well explained for us newbies to the trade. Please can you tell me the name of that semi-rigid dust extractor pipe apparatus. It looks just the thing I need. Thanks.

Excellent as per usual. Just one thing - that little sharp corner of the edge, closest to the handle. Don't know if its supposed to serve some purpose, but 90% of the times a kitchen knife has bitten me, it was from that. So, nowadays, when buying a new knife for the kitchen, first thing I do is to round that thing off a little :-)
Good tip! Thank you sir!
Nice work man looks great! Question I've been wondering for a while, why do you heat treat before cutting your bevels?
Hey Chester, It's personal preference. I like suiting up to get the grinds dialed in just once, opposed to having to come back. I also feel it helps me keep everything straight during HT.
Hey. Have you ever tried to make a tanto? I tried on a practice piece of steel (just some random mild steel or something I found) and I couldn't really get it figured out. I haven't seen a good tutorial on youtube for grinding one either.
Just thought I would ask. At some point in the future I want to give it another shot, it definitely seems like good practice for compound grinds if nothing else.
I haven't made one yet! Good idea though
Great job, man! I'd love to start seeing more kitchen cutlery on your channel. I do more kitchen cutlery than EDC or hunting blades in my shop. Next time you should try a distal taper on your chefs knifes! It's kinda tricky to get it down, but, once you do, you'll notice that they not only perform better but that the weight distribution of the knife as a whole will be closer to what you really want in a chefs knife.
Distal taper has a pretty steep learning curve unless you have some good equipment to work with starting out. I bet that surface grinding attachment of his could be adjusted for a super precise taper though. Arctangent of how much you want removed for the taper divided by length of desired taper and you've got the angle to set your surface grinder to, just have to precisely locate the blade when you swap sides...
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper the beat way I learned it was by doing it freehand on my 2x42 grinder. I do it on very large kitchen blades and very small kitchen blades. Generally, the rules are always the same. And if you break it down in sections along the blade, then finish with full strokes on the belt grinder from heal to tip, you'll end up with a nice even distal taper. I definitely screwed up a few blades when I first learned this process. But I now have it down pretty well. It's not too bad, you just have to think ahead before grinding.
Thanks for the pointers!
Solid knife, classy as hell. I never remember when you upload vids because I just binge watch all your stuff lol. You planning to do a friction folder at any point?
Thank you greatly sir! I think that would be a fun project for sure!
@@RedBeardOps I'd be so hyped to see a friction folder from you. Since it's all we're allowed here (in public) I've grown to really like them.
Nice build Sir. Have you continued with the push stick or go back to “free hand”?
Man, I feel like I use it all... depends on the knife really.
It looks awesome 👌 the only thing I would think you should improve on it it to make it thinner so that it slices effortlessly even as it begins to dull
Thanks for the tips!
Does your surface grinding system only use high strength magnets to maintain the knife on the jig while grinding? Every video I watched i'm in awe when in see this simple system !
Yep, just magnets! Cheers Robin!
@@RedBeardOps That's so cool, magnets are cool.
great video boss got a question do you buy your steel local or on line?
I get mine from Alpha Knife Supply
I know you got your new grinder as a package, but do you know where I can pick up that tool rest? Just got a vertical/horizontal grinder.
For sure, check out the “rat arm” from north ridge tool
Nice build! What happened to the red liners? I saw you make the scales but I don’t see them in the final shots.
Hey Matthew, they came out really dark; like a deep deep blood red.
Lol got greenbeetles first
A hell of a maker right there!
Love your videos. Question why do you use Windex when hand sanding?
Stops your sandpaper clogging up as fast so it cuts better and longer. Water works, but the mild detergents in Windex seem to help the swarf stay in the liquid a little better.
What Will Shaw said!
What is a good and relatively cheap heat treating service for stainless steel?
I showed a picture of Jarod Todd’s info in the video 🙌
When are we gonna get to see that oven in action?
Fear not Brett, I'm in the middle of a move, so it may be a little bit. But I have big plans for that oven!
Think you should do another shop tour.
Oh just wait sir! I'm actually moving to a larger shop at the moment.
@@RedBeardOps cool that will be even more interesting
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Nice build brother!!
When does voting close?
I’m not 100% sure. Thanks man!
Apparently it closes on the 9th...you got my vote bro. Watched all of them and I think yours is the best, not to mention I love how you explain as you go. Will you announce winner on your channel?
@@REKKnives Thank you very much sir! I plan on sharing the winner along with the other channels on my "community" tab.
You should make the handel like Japanese style knife Japanese wood called a D-Shaped Ebony finshed

I was wondering what is the name of the vacuum attachment you use? It seems really efficient and versatile.

Whats the thing you attached the knife to when you used the surface grinder?
THat's a magnetic chuck from NorthRidge Tool
@@RedBeardOps ok
What epoxy did you use?
G-Flex from West Systems
How can I get a chef knife.?
Hey man, I'm sorry, but I'm not taking custom orders. When I do have a knife finished I post it here - redbeardops.square.site/
