I don’t really know if a frontiersmen would of been proud to carry that beautiful masters piece you’ve just built But I certainly would not only be proud but honored as well to carry it on any adventure
Forging a knife from an old bearing ring sounds much more poetic than forging a knife from brand new steel. The first is art, the second is manufacturing!
This is my first video of this gent and I'm only 4 minutes in and I've already subscribed and i like him because i can hear so much sincerity and honesty in his voice
A really nice job on this and over all I'd agree. Frontiersman ready. The best thing, for me, is the forge pitting you didn't grind out. Perfection has its place but in reality perfection is only for show not function. Sweet video...
This is some beautiful work but the end of the handle seems to take an upsweep. To my eye it should be rolled over. The end flared down relative to and in line with the edge. Nit picking I suppose but still, the craftsmanship is great and I really enjoyed watching.
Hell yea brother I've got at least 50 if not a 100 old bearing setting in the top of my press from rebuilding rear ends and trans from the last 24 years will be trying to make 1 very soon !!
@@nicklasbehrendt3802 I'm not currently taking custom requests, but will in the future. As far as the videos, it's different ideas I have but I do like to hear what people want to see built.
If that was a Timken bearing it was originally made from reclaimed steel. I worked for Timken bearings for about 7 yrars and then Timkensteel for 18 years. I made all parts of bearings except the cage and worked the electric arc furnace where we melted scrap to make the speciality steel used in bearings. I'm glad to see another life for that bearing.
An old car bearing race will make a decent knife too. I've been wanting to make a hook knife (for carving spoons out of wood) out of one for some time now.
Get yourself a mini rolling mill. I use leaf springs for my knives and the rolling mill saves a lot of fuel and frustration. You can take a fairly small chunk and run it through a few times and end up with a dimensionally accurate billet with virtually no loss. Harbor freight has a decent one. It's especially good for roundstock scrap like big auger bits and large bolts.
Great job, what a great skill to have. Knife turned out beautiful. I am surprised you didn't drill for more pins in the handle. I guess it didn't need them.

Don’t know if a frontiersman would’ve been proud to carry it but I know I’d be
Proud and Honored to carry it in the field
Any Frontiersman with this hanging from his belt would instantly become a legend.
That’s a beautiful knife. 99% of people don’t abuse their knives. That would be a life time knife for most people. Great job.

Nice One
I can’t comment on what a frontiersman would carry but I would be proud to own this knife!!
Beautiful work!
Thank you
Good looking knife there! Cheers!
Thanks man!
This knife will be a perfect companion to a frontiersman!
Anyone should love to carry that BEAUTY!
John Rambo would have been proud to have a masterpiece like this one.
Would definitely carry it. Perfect for those Alaskan Hunting trips

I have a 5 year old daughter and the pterodactyl was the best part of the video! haha
I like your commentary. There is way more to this than meets the eye
VERY nice! I bet frontiersman would have been more than proud to Cary that.
Hell Yeah. Spectacular Bowie Knife !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I'd certainly be proud to have that strapped to my leg. It's beautiful.
I like this knife. Well done.
Nice, thanks for the video 👍
I certainly believe that a frontiersman or for that matter an outdoorsman of today would be ecstatic to own that knife. Best wishes.

A frontiersman would be proud to carry that ad would any other serif respecting person! It turned it great as usual. Thanks for sharing
It turned out awesome.
Thanks!!

I take bushcraft classes with my cousin here in Alaska. I would 100% leave my Bark River Teddy at home and use this.
Suhhhweeeet knife! That handle is amazing!!
Enjoying your videos, from Houston, Tx.
Thank you!
Just saying WOW, that is a beauty, from the blade to the guard and that beautiful wood handle!
Thanks I appreciate it
Beautiful blade
I think anybody would be proud to carry that knife, not just a frontiersman... Thanks for the videos. Keep it up.
Thanks I appreciate it!
proud? stupid more like.
@@FireCreekForge do u just make any knives u get requested?

@@FireCreekForge cool!
Great work!
forget about Frontiersman, I would be proud to carry that
It'd be awesome to meet those rollers in a crucible and forge a blade
Beautiful blade, I'm sure the frontiersman would have died to have the tools to make that!
Beautiful !!!
That’s a fine looking
Well done brother
Thank you sir
Awsome man!
Nicely done

I don't think it's a Timken, but yes a lot of steel is recycled these days. Thanks for watching
I remember being a kid and my dad would give me the brass guard and pommel pieces to file down and polish
Beautiful
Beautiful knife would love to have one
What a piece of art!
Another DelMonte success!!

I do want to get one someday, I think they would be great for Damascus too.
Now that's a knife I think Dundee would even carry. I would as well. Lol
New to this channel, and I just noticed the Gadsden flag 👍 Love it
Good job, awesome piece
Absolutely awesome watching from 🇬🇧👌
That's a beautiful knife, recycled and given back a new life, nothing's more awesome than that.👍👍
Thanks I appreciate it!
Cool. I didn't even know David Bowie was into knives.
Realy nice!
Beautiful knife, looks great
Now that's an artisan crafted pterodactyl! :D
Gorgeous

What a telent you have - Brilliant work. A craftsman through and through. Your video was well produced and absorbing. Thank you.
Fantastic
Absolutely beautiful knife. ~Kevin
Very beautiful knife.
Watching you shape an draw out the tip of the blade very impressive
I appreciate the reclaimed steel option, it seems a call back to the first smiths.
Another beautiful blade! Thank you for sharing the process.
Eye like it.
Pretty cool 😎
Oh yeah. Gorgeous.
Definitely any frontier man would be over joyed to have such a great knife with them 😎🥰
I would not mind carrying one like that today
Beautiful knife !
I can almost smell that ironwood from here.
Gotta love it!
Daniel Boone would have loved that knife!!
outstanding 💯🏆
Great job, what a great skill to have. Knife turned out beautiful. I am surprised you didn't drill for more pins in the handle. I guess it didn't need them.
Thank you. Yep, the 3/16" pin + epoxy is plenty. The handle would break before it came off. Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous knife and amazing craftsmanship!
hay quá Phúc ơi, nổi cả da gà luôn nè, thấm vào từng mạch máu
Oh yeah very nice
looks great...just needs to be proved
Man excellent video. While I have a grasp of the concept, I love the explanations. Keep it up 🤘
Thank you
