    Sweet knife. Love the look and the handle gives it that extra fantasy flare.

      Thanks man. I agree. I think the handle makes the knife.

    That turned out great! I'm glad to hear another maker is using this opportunity to push his skills farther than ever. I understand the time constraints. This is the first challenge I've ever done because I finally feel like I have the time to do it.

    Truly gorgeous work. Love the guard shape, and think I actually prefer the subtle layers for that piece. The blade turned out perfectly, and the walnut spacer really worked and looked like it absolutely belonged. Overall a very impressive piece.

    I thought i had seen all the contesters of the RUclips challenge, but i did not. Its pretty odd while i did go to the Google Docs page.
    I really like the blade, certainly a good contester.

    You've got a lot of play in the pin at the top of your press where the cylinder meets the top plate. That might be why your press is not squaring up the billets. I would recommend getting a sacrificial metal bearing surface between the pin and the top plate.

    • @4wknives
      @4wknives  Год назад

      I have thought about that. I have been worried that I might do something stupid and put it in a bind or something. Thanks for suggestion. I definitely need to do something

      @@4wknives Look up Babbitt Bearings. It is what they used to do before roller bearings were a thing. Also, a brass sleeve is a good sacrificial metal.

    This "Fantasy" blade turned out fantastic. Caught my attention from the beginning when you'd seen challenges and was now going to go for it. Was blinded by the beauty of the Elven Sword at the end. The coloring, Damascus lines, handle...everything matched up perfectly. Am still in awe at the uniqueness and beauty intertwined. Joined your channel as a subscriber and will definitely pass your videos to my buddies. Thanks for an amazing video and custom blade. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
