Paduka or Jerusalem Olive. Also, for purple heart when it starts to turn grey, heat it up. It will bring the purple back to the surface. Hair dryer can work, but I used a torch, just make sure to not heat it too much and burn it.
Man has it been that long already?? Time has really gotten away from me! But I haven't given up! I've just had so many other projects come up and this one keeps getting pushed back :(
Well?? As Will's uncle I am interested to see your finished product... ;-)
No way! That's awesome! I really need to get back to working on this! Life has been crazy
Use the African Mahogany
African mahogany, olive wood and ebony are all good options. I would go with the mahogany though
The red one is also really pretty
@@nathansteyn9200 Thanks for the feedback!
Part 4 coming around anytime?
Hopefully soon! (Soon being relative) I've been really busy with some commissioned projects recently
I honestly get so excited for every single video.
Thanks man! It's nice to have a fan haha
Black and White ebony might be cool with the damascus steel
Yeah, that could be cool. The patterns are similar
You DO know that files are meant to be pushed one way and that rubbing them forward and back will dull them?
Well, I do now. Haha
Greatest infomercial ever! Also, African Mahogany.
Thanks! Haha. And good suggestion
Loved the informercial! Well done!
Thanks! Haha
Also, my favorite handle material was that red wood. That looks so good
Ooo yeah I love that stuff. Definitely one of my favorites
It's up there
Did you ever finish this?
Unfortunately not yet! I've done some more work on it but haven't had the chance for a while! I need to get back to it
Did you soften the metal?
I mean before you filed it
@@nathansteyn9200 No haha. I'm definitely new to metal working. That probably would've helped!
😂
Awesome video dude! Greeting from a thirteen year old knife maker!
Thanks for checking it out! Keep at it!

Thanks for the votes. And I didn't know that about purple heart! I might have to use it more and try that out!
Hows it coming along?
Great question! I did just a bit more grinding on it, but then had some other projects come up for Christmas. I hope to get back to it soon!
nice job, i would personally use the african mahogany
Thanks for the vote!
Over 8 months later. I am guessing you gave up? Call Will Stelter for help!

I'd love to see what ya do with the olive wood
Dude did you give up? Where's part 4? You haven't posted a vid in awhile.
It's true. Yeah honestly there's been a lot of life changes since this and I kinda lost steam on the whole RUclips thing in general
@@benofalltrades that's a bummer man. I laughed my ass off at the intro you made for this video. Good luck with everything
Cumaru would be great as a contrast to the darker damascus.
great videos by the way!
how is your knife project going lately?
Thanks for watching. It was put on hold during the holidays because I had some other things to work on, but I'll get back to it soon!
You bought garbage files, that's what your problem was.
Entirely possible. Thanks for watching!
No thx this is not for me 3 videos to make a knife and then on the 3de video talks a lot of crap
