You seem to have become like best friends with Guga. If I were in your position, I'd be best friend with him too. :) Keep up the great content, both of you.
You should totally get yourself a forge so when you don't have enough material at least you can forge at a Tang for the handle so it's all one solid piece.
I probably said this before me but…. Let me understand something they replaced you and Callie whit grace? She’s like the host of the show? I’m not tryin to hate but she’s quite annoying I’m keeping the tkor Channel only because of you guys honestly I don’t watch graces vids you were the channel creators best friend how could they do that? She’s not engaging and not entertaining and not you. Anyways it ticks me off.
Last time I checked your sub count you were around 100k. Now you're up to 200k. I'm so happy for you that you're starting to fly on your own. I won't be surprised to see you at 1m. So many creators know you and would love to work with you if you want that. Keep up the good work
It makes me a so happy to see you succeeding so much with your own channel. Was such a mistake for TKOR to let you go, but honestly I think it's worked out for the best. You're making much higher quality content now, and because it's what you care about, the passion bleeds through the videos!
It’s just crazy that 2 of my favorite content creators are collaborating!! I’ve been watching both you and Guga for years, I don’t care if you guys met naturally or through a management decision, the videos are superb. Nate you’re doing amazing on your own, keep it up!!
Good work, just a note dont try welding heattreated steel it wont hold (yes its a knive it will be okay in this case probably) done some toolsteel welding and u need to be carefull with doing so, need some heattreating aswell and so on.
I love the thought you put into this for 'Guga'. I've been a long time subber to both your channels and I really appreciate the obvious friendship you two have. Oh, and I'm a knife nerd, so this was epic!
Knife looks great, but I would personally use longer damascus part and put the weld further into the handle, so it's less stressed during use... And also weld it before heat treating would be good idea, as mentioned.
I also make knives on a part time basis and always enjoy watching techniques used by other makers. Many of decisions were different than what I would have done, but you ended up with a beautiful product at the end. I've never seen a knife makers shop that is so clean though, mine ends up covered in powdered steel no matter how often I vacuum it.
Woah! this was not something I would think this channel is churning out, the knife looks great "first time" maker. "One thing I could speak on for comfort while cutting is a thumb relief, especially for the larger slicing movements"
I think you should have used as much of the Damascus as possible to get it to the center of the handle to make it stronger, it just looks like this could be a weak design
Dude, that stainless damascus, I should say... I didn't know it exists! Now I want it soooo bad 🤣🤣 I was a liitle worried with that point where Nate put the 2 steels together, but I hope it will never fail 😁
Interesting way to finish Damascus, have not seen that one before. Makes it looks like wood, in a way, or like water ripples that suddenly froze. With a bit more etching and deeper pattern it ought to make for an interesting feel and finish on something like a wrench as well.
When Nate’s explaining the acid soak around 8:30 he’s positioned in such a way in front of his lights that it makes it look like he has white eyes under his glasses a few times lol
Beautiful knife! Nate what would you recommend as a starter wet stone for someone that wants to sharpen their own knives? I really want to get some but with all the options I don't know what to pick!
You should watch Kyle Royer, he has to be one of the greatest bladesmiths on the planet. After etching his blades he leaves them to soak in an in instant coffee bath and it brings out the dark striations of the pattern in crazy black detail.
I collaborated with Kyle! He made me a BEAUTIFUL bar of steel that I made into a knife, I've got two videos about it! He is so good. Ferric chloride and coffee don't work well on stainless steels though!
Love your video's ... could you do a video showing cheap vs expensive products cleaning your basin @2:41 in this video (to be honest ... my OCD gets triggered in a bad way every time I see this dirty basin in a video) hope you understand
one of the better HT runs for a tuber. scale that as a knife maker that has been doing his own nearly 20 years dama steel is some $ stuff. you did a great job with your gear. that post HT weld gives me question but hey its a knife not ment for big impacts
Oh my! NATE! I haven’t seen you since Grant passed away and you were the main face of TKOR. And I went back and looked at the channel and it’s veered away from what I remember

Keep up the great content, both of you.
Bismuth is also a key ingredient in Pepto Bismol, though not nearly as visually stunning as their pieces.
You should totally get yourself a forge so when you don't have enough material at least you can forge at a Tang for the handle so it's all one solid piece.
you seem to now have more energy and more fun than on the king of random

The most epic knife have! Thanks Nate… fits my hands like a glove 😂
Hope to see it in a future video of yours!
Guga, share video on your channel, nate need some recognition :))
I hope it’ll be in some videos
I hope to see more of you and Nate.
Love your videos! You taught me how to cook a steak properly!
Who else wishes they had a friend like Nate
i just wish i had a friend 😢
i wish i had both guga and nate as friends honestly 🤣
I have a friend named Nate, is that close enough?
Thankfully I do who makes stuff like this for me and family.
@@ketameanii I'll be your friend!
I hope you had a good time working with our Damascus. The knife looks great! -Damaworks
I hope to see the knife in a future video on his channel!
That finish on it is so unlike the usual Damascus that is more commonly seen!
Beautiful metal!
This channel gives me so much comfort and joy, it feels like talking to an old friend, just so great

That is really cool and definitely fits Guga's aesthetic.

Honestly tkor is now a shell of what it once was, it's great to see Nate continue its legacy with the classic interesting projects
@@zUltraXO Couldn’t agree more. This channel has the soul that TKOR used to have when Grant was still around.
why did TKOR let him go?
@@jacobsidorov watch his video on it
It’s just crazy that 2 of my favorite content creators are collaborating!! I’ve been watching both you and Guga for years, I don’t care if you guys met naturally or through a management decision, the videos are superb. Nate you’re doing amazing on your own, keep it up!!

Genuinely happy for Nates channel growth, it's only the start I reckon. He'll grow exponentially in 2023, my guess is around 2 million subs
I love the thought you put into this for 'Guga'. I've been a long time subber to both your channels and I really appreciate the obvious friendship you two have. Oh, and I'm a knife nerd, so this was epic!
you can now buy flux cored stainless steel mig wire FYI.
gorgeous piece
Knife looks great, but I would personally use longer damascus part and put the weld further into the handle, so it's less stressed during use... And also weld it before heat treating would be good idea, as mentioned.
Full tang would of course be best but gotta work with what you got
Nice technical explanation, sounds like a great teacher.
You need a close-up slowmo of the knife going thru the paper
That came out so good
The handle looks majestic! Great job Nate! Now I want new knife too :)
love all your videos but the knife-making ones are usually my favorite, great work!
Stainless damascus. 😍 ooh.
I've been a knife enthusiast for a couple years now, but that's my first time seeing stainless Damascus. Very cool looking.
Beautiful craftsmanship
I also make knives on a part time basis and always enjoy watching techniques used by other makers. Many of decisions were different than what I would have done, but you ended up with a beautiful product at the end. I've never seen a knife makers shop that is so clean though, mine ends up covered in powdered steel no matter how often I vacuum it.
As a blade enthusiast i salute you fell beautiful knife, beautiful design and finely crafted and honed 👏👏👏
That knife is amazing. I can't wait to see Guga use it.
That knife looks great!
Great video as ever, you've really found a relaxed editing style that really complements your content.
Awesome looking knife. Good job!
I love this guy from the bottom of my heart
That knife is gorgeous!!
That’s freaking sweet! Great job Nate!
Great job on the knife Nate.
That knife is awesome!
Wow such a beautiful knife.
i do like that subtle patterning.
Absolutely loved this video 🫶
This is a top tier duo
Woah! this was not something I would think this channel is churning out, the knife looks great "first time" maker. "One thing I could speak on for comfort while cutting is a thumb relief, especially for the larger slicing movements"
Looks so great!
Love these type of videos nate
7:25 the wall with a hundred belts
I need more.
I love your knife making videos, it helps me feel more confident about pursuing to be a knife maker. Great job 👍🏽
i've seen this guy somewhere was he in any other tv shows or yt channels?
@@boba9358 the king of random?
@@dierandomdie ohhh yeah ty
I love your sponsor ❣️
Wow that knife is NICE!
I think you should have used as much of the Damascus as possible to get it to the center of the handle to make it stronger, it just looks like this could be a weak design
brother it's a kitchen knife, the metal doesn't go under extreme stress in the same way a bushcraft knife would.
Can you do a video on using sharpening stones for sharpening knives?
Nice knife Nate ,like it very much
The best feeling is holding a knife that fits perfectly in your hand
Great Job Nate! Always good to see your vids!
Amazing work, 👏
i love guga's channel and this new channel of yours
Very cool stuff nate
New Subscriber, from Guga, with love
What a glorious piece of work Nate! Great job bud seriously that’s epic
Nate, that knife is absolutely awesome
Great job Nate! You do awesome work. Glad to see that your channel is growing, you deserve it.
I love the look 🔥🔥
Great project
That's a sweet blade, Nate !!! ◾◼◼⬛⬛⬛🟢🟩🟩🟢
Very cool knife 🔪
Outstanding!
Guga has lots of energy. I have tried so of his tests myself.
Dude, that stainless damascus, I should say... I didn't know it exists! Now I want it soooo bad 🤣🤣
I was a liitle worried with that point where Nate put the 2 steels together, but I hope it will never fail 😁
LETS GO NATE
good job, Nate, making a knife for Guga
Great vid Nate!
‘continuity’
Now that's a knife!
oh my god this is awesome
That is an awesome knife I enjoy your video
Interesting way to finish Damascus, have not seen that one before. Makes it looks like wood, in a way, or like water ripples that suddenly froze. With a bit more etching and deeper pattern it ought to make for an interesting feel and finish on something like a wrench as well.
Great video looks good
That’s so cool
love this
Just recently found you again. Glad you went on your own Nick. Loved TKOR but I haven’t really watched it since you left.
Similar to Benchmade Meatcrafter. Impressed by how this knife sharp is!
Damascus was from Damaworksllc
Heeey, knife spotted in the new Butter Chicken video!
I have a few Damascus knives and you made a beautiful piece.
perfection 👌
I'm so glad nate left TKOR and has his own successful channel. He didn't slander them or put them down, but just left and started his own thing.
Shut up faker...
Great video nate
Thank you
Amazing
6:30 video shows cutdown shaped handle, then jumps backwards to Nate cutting shaping the handle. lol
Awesome
When Nate’s explaining the acid soak around 8:30 he’s positioned in such a way in front of his lights that it makes it look like he has white eyes under his glasses a few times lol
I like this channel, its like a more advanced TKOR
Woah you make that for Guga?? :D
Please make more this is wayy cool
finally some good music
Beautiful knife! Nate what would you recommend as a starter wet stone for someone that wants to sharpen their own knives? I really want to get some but with all the options I don't know what to pick!
King deluxe 800 or 1000 and a leather strop with green compound is all you need
Every skilled Butcher that I ever talked to about Knives regarded Stainless Steel with Fear and Loathing-Nah, more like Elitist Contempt.
Keep making content like this. Seems to be better for your soul.
You should watch Kyle Royer, he has to be one of the greatest bladesmiths on the planet. After etching his blades he leaves them to soak in an in instant coffee bath and it brings out the dark striations of the pattern in crazy black detail.

Ferric chloride and coffee don't work well on stainless steels though!
Eyyy..! Yay. Yes.
Welding after can compromise your heat treat/temper unless I'm mistaken... but fantastic work 👏🏼 👌🏻
Love your video's ... could you do a video showing cheap vs expensive products cleaning your basin @2:41 in this video (to be honest ... my OCD gets triggered in a bad way every time I see this dirty basin in a video) hope you understand
I remember you plugging guga on tkor, and now your collabing on your own channel. Goals.
nice
one of the better HT runs for a tuber. scale that as a knife maker that has been doing his own nearly 20 years dama steel is some $ stuff. you did a great job with your gear. that post HT weld gives me question but hey its a knife not ment for big impacts
Ya the weld is small, this is not a chopping knife, the join is inside the handle, and the heat never made it to the blade, it will be fine.
Oh my! NATE! I haven’t seen you since Grant passed away and you were the main face of TKOR. And I went back and looked at the channel and it’s veered away from what I remember
