Is there a reason your using lubrication on a diamond stone? the manufactures release I have read from my diamond stones says it's best to leave the build-up of dust on the stone as it aids in sharpening.
I cringed the way Nick peened his pin as in my personal experience I have broken a lot of scales doing it that way i find using the ball peen side of the hammer works better. other then that I did learn some new techniques to better make an integral. time to practice on some coil spring as I do not want to wast my 1085 Hitachi steel well I am figuring out how to make a decent integral blade.
Nick it is always educational and entertaining to watch you work. a Well made and enjoyable video!
At the start it was a little upsetting, but by the end I saw the point.
Keep being awesome Nick! Great stuff 😁
Hope you still make knives like this. Refreshing to see a forged blade vs flat stock machined blade being called forged.
Always a pleasure to watch the Master at work. Thank you for sharing this with me
thanks for doing this video. It's a great refresher for me
I’m liking the multi-purpose under-bench receiver. Especially the big hand wheel. Just might have to replicate that one.
Playing catch up on your videos, nice design and sharp,
Beautiful knife
That was a beutyful build. Thanks for sharing
Great forge techniques 👏🏼👏🏼
Great video as always. Very educative. Always a pleasure to watch.
that knife is good and hand forging is always greatly satisfying...👍😄
Using tong reins as a fuller? That’s awesome
Is there a specific reason for the thick sheat metal inside the oven during tempering ?
The metal helps maintain the ovens temperature.

beautiful handwork sir!
Oh, the integral class postponed..
I'll just keep on working on my damascus skills until then.
A voice over of what and why would be nice.
Nick - what’s the weight on the hammer? I thought that it was a sledge until I saw the pein.
to me, it looked like a 2000 gram Norse style hammer.
