- Second dagger build so far! Having a new belt grinder that doesn't wobble helped a lot with getting a nice clean grind! Handle is walnut.
Thanks for watching!

There is very little in this world that compares to the beauty of the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife. There is also very little that compares to its brutal efficiency. Absolutely beautiful work!
Fairbairn-Sykes: British warcrime enabler
Isn’t that a bit like saying Kalashnikov: Russian war crime enabler?

That was some pretty incredible freehand grinding on those bevels... lovely work. Thanks for sharing

I thought of the exact same quote when I saw the thumbnail

@@Initial__B Looks like I beat you to it lol
Bit of a messy job, but that's it.
That was incredible! I'm glad there are people still out there that have such incredible craftsmanship!
Outstanding! The Ranger Memorial on Fort Benning has the same dagger ... part of our lineage from our brothers across the pond ... British Commandos. Very well done, the work and the video. This is a labor of love!
"Pond"? It's the Atlantic Ocean, mate, not a "pond".
@@larryoconnor7094 its a saying, it's not literally a pond
@@larryoconnor7094 , Thats an old saying, and if I remember correctly, it was the British who coined the phrase. The Atlantic Ocean was called the "Great Herring Pond", then The "Great Pond", and finally the "Pond". This dates back all the way to the 1700's.

I did
@Tianrui Qi a statement doesn't require a question
well as an old blacksmith in the uk 64 years young I have to say great hand skills and an attention to detail that a lot of younger people have lost, Well done, I was an apprentice to a guy who was the age I am now and he could make a set of tongs like shelling peas
I do worry that these skills being lost. So its its nice to see a young man with these skills KEEP IT UP AND KEEP POSTING
@Sakuraxrox1 F__k the social limitations. The only thing that s sad is that you re not out there experimenting and buying yourself the tools for the trade!
Bxchxch kufjjohj
That concern exists all over the world, I am from Argentina 45 years old and the good thing is that there are always Good Teachers and Craftsmen Born d(*_-)7
@Sakuraxrox1 There are no such limitations where I'm from, women are expected to be able to do exactly the same things men are all the way from childhood. Female children come along when fishing and hunting, take woodworking in school, and so on, just like the male children. And similarly male children learn to cook and bake, make and repair clothing and so on, just like the females. There is no difference in how they're raised, everyone regardless of gender are taught to be self sufficient. Having different roles for different genders is a social weakness, you'd do your society a favor by breaking such tradition. Can't have half a population not fit for fight, and an entire population not even capable of taking care of themselves. Dependency is weakness.
@@thedragonslayer3330 Nonsense, nobody is borne with though skin, it's something that develops over time. Guys that have never done any manual labor have soft hands and weak muscles too.
Damn you are all around a good life maker from forging the blade to citing the wood for the handle to a true sharping with stones.
Mad level skills at every different stage. Extremely impressive combination of skills along with a beautiful product.
This has to be the best looking dagger I've ever seen. I love the simple design. Less is more. I want one just like it. shut up and take my money.
Bruh this dude has a ruler tattoo on his arm
Smart guy
Hopefully he doesn't have much growing left (upwards or outwards)
Actually a pretty smart idea
Zaytrexx I was about to say to measure your stupidity but then when I clicked on "read more" I was like 'oh never mind'
The width of my index finger is 3/4"; the thickness of pinky finger at the tip is 1/2"; the length of my index finger from tip to first knuckle is one inch; the length of index finger 3"; the length from elbow to tip of middle finger is exactly 19"; the width of full spread hand is 9 1/4"; the length from elbow to ulna is 12". All measurements are exact. It seems I already have a ruler. I have used these regularly over the years. Example: the length from elbow to ulna + width of closed hand is 16" which is spacing for studs in house framing.
Everything you have, Pindos, not like normal people ... IT`S NECESSARY TO DO THE RIGHT HAND! :)

Great video! I own a ^B2 Fairbairne-Sykes in collector mint condition, bluing intact and blade point needle-sharp. I am a former SSF soldier and the Fairbairne-Sykes design is my favourite fighting knife. This man knows the knife. To see one made from scratch on a coal forge is just RUclips Gold. Beautiful work!
Enjoyed this video. I've always thought the Fairbairn Sykes was such an elegant knife. Thanks for showing us how you made it.
I spent 22 mins of my life time just to see this beauty thank you.❤️
Lol😍

Jesus, that's not a knife it's a magnificent work of art. Beautiful!
It is a very efficient killing weapon..
@@khankrum1 obviously.
Awesome work man! I have my Dad's original he picked up during WWII in one of his many adventures. God rest his soul.
This is about15 % larger overall than the original Fairburn -Sykes knife We were issued when I served in 42 Royal Marines Commando. nevertheless, this is a beautiful dagger. congratulations.
I know, made it sligthy larger on purpose :) Thank you sir!
@@MakeNCreate
Next up, a Katana from a Crowbar ?
Could keep a part of the crowbar as the handle. 😂
People 80 years ago had smaller hands ..like Trump :) I have an original FS and I barely can hold it, really small handle.
@Gen been given a reprieve.
@Gen The Admiralty are going to disband my former unit 42 Commando to save money.
Well done ,top job. Used to see them in the army surplus stores when i was growing up in the 1950;s - feel sure the blade was darkened steel with the broad arrow stamped near the hilt.Yours looks better though,just be carefull that the moonlight doesn't reflect off it when out on a mission.
Thank you sir! Appreciate the small story :D
some does have a blackened finish, some have a mirror polish.
Actually the first pattern daggers had a polished blade for exactly that purpose, to reflect in the light and dissuade German sentries from wanting to fight. The second pattern was blued steel so that they wouldn't reflect
@Jay BarkerThe broad arrow (or pheon) has been used by the British government to mark government property since the 17th century. It apparently derives from the coat of arms of the Sydney family (Or, a pheon azure -- gold background with a blue pheon). Sir Phillip Sydney was Master of the King's Ordinance at the tail end of the 16th century.
Saw a genuine one today at the SOE exhibition at Beaulieu House (UK) where Fairburn taught self defence, smaller than what you've created, about 7" in the blade (smaller than I remembered actually)
Use in the manual was for stabbing into the skull (jump on back, wrapping legs round, shove knife in behind ear and stir)
Incredible ! One of my all-time favorite military knives. Great fabrication and workmanship.
That’s one of the finest examples of a Fairbairn I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really liked the FS. Most I’ve ever held were flea market junk. Didn’t seem very rugged. This one is a heck of a toothpick. A finely crafted chunk of wood and steel.
This is by far the best video on the subject I have ever seen. You're an artist.
The symmetry of the blade is beautiful, especially as you did it by hand and using your eyes.
Yeah
That is absolutely beautiful! Far far nicer than my issued one! Incredible to watch your skills in action! Brilliant!
I could definitely see a SAS agent being proud to call this his or hers. Great job and God bless.
@nick sweeney So you're saying that there are no female SAS agents? That I did not know. As far as giving me grief about using the only two real genders properly, stuff it ya git.
@nick sweeney You know, I was going to tell you off, you silly little git, but this shit has gotten boring and ain't no one worth my time no more. Have a nice day and TTFN sunshine.
An enormous amount of work for one knife, you are very professional and dedicated and that piece is surely a work of art, really Sir well done.
That is a beautiful knife 🗡!
You should be very proud of your work, I'm very sure Mr Fairbairn and Mr Sykes would approve.
Super impressed by your beveling skills. I don't think most realize what kind of skill it takes to do that. Daggers are my number one favorite style of blades to make. Great video, and I love your equipment!
I imagine this profession takes most of a person's life to learn. You have my respect.
*It was a pleasure to watch you create... Dam you work fast..!* 😆🤣😂 :PEACE:🕊❤️
Sir, may I thank you for recreating such a fine item of military history. Your attention to detail and the respect for the weapon is commendable. Unfortunately I do not own a forge or I would be tempted to have a go myself as I had to sell my issue one years ago to raise some extra income. I am an ex English commando who like many of my colleagues have been diagnosed with PTSD and struggle from day to day and need to sell off our, memories to keep going. If you could make a miniature version without forging it might help others like me to rebuild our lives. At least I managed to get £35 for mine which at the time (1990) gave me food for two weeks and kept me going. Please keep making wonderful works of art and keep our history alive. Love your channel and the stuff you make. RM
Just wanted to say your amazing for serving.
That is a work of art. You have an incredible talent
That thing is just absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
WWII commando knife, very nice
Round file on the wood lathe surprised me but I cant argue with the results.
Chainsaw file ;) Thanks brother!
It's not stupid if it works. Wait, this isn't Alec's channel; he's still teasing us with a cavalry saber that my grandchildren will have to wait to see completed.
🤣 I love both of you, awesome work.
Your video and sound editing made the video just that more enjoyable, and the knife came out great as well
Brilliant... my favorite blade of all time and a brilliant job you did making it... spectacular.
You should be proud. Great work. I also love your editing, like with slowing down from fast speed while hammering. Protecting the entire blade with tape after sanding and polishing. Then setting it on the anvil, and then knocking it off the anvil while walking away. That was great.
Gorgeous, buddy. You´re a great artisan. I admire you. Keep uploading your work, please.
I can't believe what an incredible skill you have, blacksmithing. That is just an amazing skill to have. In general.
This dude have a ruler on his arm and a furnace on his house.
Thats some next level smithery right there
For those who don't know (even though there's plenty of people who do know) the reason why he didn't quench sooner was because he was normalizing the blade, which arranges the grain pattern to make it more solid before the quench and makes it less prone to cracks and warps by normalizing.
Thanks for the post. Smithing is voodoo to me
@@dustinlerch9272 I ain't a smith myself, though I would love to get into the trade myself
That is beautiful, so much work. A pleasure to watch it being made.
Beautiful blade!
Thanks for sharing this vid.
I always love your videos, keep doing you and I especially loved the Skyrim dagger and the different knives and swords you make
Thank you very much!

Absolutely stunning work . Beautifully crafted dagger .
I like the up and down-pitching of the hammer hits with the change in speed
Thats what i live for..
I find this so calming and soothing 😌
Thank you for capturing your entire process.
Beautiful. I haven't been brave enough to try a dagger like this yet. This was inspiring.
The perfect combination of might and magic
