      Very well said. I truly believe that this gentleman needs to have his own channel. To be honest, I like Jeff’s videos better than Kyle’s.
      Sure Kyle’s knives are amazing, and are incredible “Art” knives, and while Jeff’s knives are of a high level, they are still knives that one could use on a daily basis. Knives are to be used, not put away in some drawer.

  • @davidtatro7457
    @davidtatro7457 9 месяцев назад

    Absolutely gorgeous work in every detail. I was initially surprised that your client wanted such a thick blade, but it got me think thinking about my own vintage collection and that in the distant past, very thick butcher/chef knives were quite popular. I have collected and restored a few antique examples, and they are beautifully shaped and tapered, but overall much thicker than the typical modern chef knife. And perhaps that was the vibe your client was after.
    Also, kudos to you for being equally willing to let your granddaughters paint your nails or show them how to forge steel. Gotta say, the gradual erosion of your nail paint throughout this video was a joy to witness. We could only hope that every father and grandfather out there would do the same for his daughters and granddaughters.
    Nicely done. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
