"#1 reason i'm doing this is to help you" And that sir is the #1 reason I am your fan.
Agreed
Which are you, pedestal fan, ceiling fan, desk fan, tower fan etc? Nice to meet you
I've been a welder fabricator for 1 year and now I'm getting into blacksmithing. This has been a huge lesson! Thank you.
Thank you for dropping knowledge on us Apprentice Smiths!
Thank you for doing these videos. I'm just starting out at bladesmithing and live in a small town so this is the only way I can get the information. Again thank you for doing this
The 5 dislikes must be from forged in fire contenders you sent home. Awesome video!
😆😅
There's 51 now now it's those people's friends and family
Thank You...I have a burning desire to forge my own blade. This information is invaluable.
Thanks Jason. Always great to hear from your no nonsense view on knife making. Keeping it real.
Thank you Jason. I've been doing my research, but there's so much to learn, and the amount of information just makes my head spin. Again thank you
Perfect man these are the actual questions I've been asking and nobody wanted to give me an actual clear answer you finally did it in this video. #1
It’s nice to have someone who doesn’t just repeat what he has heard. You’ve obviously done a ton of metallurgical homework. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for explaining things in a simple down to earth manner...I look forward to watching all your videos that you and your team put out 👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and thought. It's much appreciated.
Awesome information! I VERY much appreciate the service you give all of us! As a materials science fan, and a budding knifesmith, this is fascinating and invaluable info.
Try to watch your videos as as often as possible. New to knife making, been forging about 4 years mostly making tools. Great info. Please keep them coming. Learning a lot. Thank you
I have just started my research of forging and knife making and super keen to get started. From everything I have watched, you give the best no-nonsense advice. I have learnt more about steel selection in the last 15min than I have in the last 2 months.
Thank god for people like you. You share your knowledge instead of guarding it. I just purchased my first Anvil on line today (NC knife maker) and haven't forged since 1983 (high school metal shop). Looking forward to trying the knowledge that you share.
Such great info! I wish I wouldve heard this years ago. Just now starting to use 80crv2 after years of forging. You are right about it.
Jason this is so valuable to all of us, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
I enjoy your honesty about what you know and what you don't know. No bragging.
Amazing video. I have only been forging a year and half now and it's truly overwhelming when your just starting out trying to decide which steel you two use. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills to help us on our journey to being makers and producing quality products. Thank you again for sharing the amazing knowledge.
Mr. Knight, hands down, this was the most informative video I’ve seen on basic steel. No nonsense, no bs and explained in such a way that even a “metallurgy moron” like myself can understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much for putting this out. I'm just starting to get into smithing to the point where I haven't even been able to make anything yet. And this has helped me a lot to know what kind of still I should get.
2:35 This is one of the reasons I love you brother, thank you so much for all of your videos; they work
Just wanted to say thank you. Just started building my first forge and look forward to applying the knowledge you so kindly shared. Much appreciated!
Always enjoy your content. Something you've said earlier this year that has really hit home. "Cheap things are expensive" I think this rings true to what you've talked about here.
I agree. It's been a thought I've kept in mind since he said it.
Thanks again........Jason...no fubar is very good...!
First of all I would like to say that I think that you are an amazing Smith I truly appreciate everything that you post and I really enjoy the videos thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for the great knowledge! I really like the way you layout the information with no BS. You have a new follower here!
You break it all down in an easy to follow way.
Outstanding info thank you. Finished my first friction folder.
I wish I would have heard this advice 10 years ago. I waisted way too much time on mystery steel and eventually lost interest in the ordeal. This video has renewed my inspiration.
Great examples of knife mastery, and teaching skills. It was the best knowledge. Thank you
This channel should definitely have more than its current subs! Thanks for the content Jason, very informative to us fellow makers.
AMAZING!!! I am so glad you made this video!
Thanks for all of the helpful information. Love watching your videos.
Excellent. Thank you for your expertise.
80crv2 is probably my favorite knife steel as well. Ive made several knives with stock removal. I can't vouch for the forging aspect but the heat treat is easy and a very tough, strong result. I would recommend it to anyone getting into knife making
Thank you for making this and sharing. A lot of great information
You just turned my whole world around... loved the style of the video by the way.
Please keep making these videos, picked up more knowledge in these videos then any other I watch
I really enjoy you're videos! Great info from a seasoned pro. Thanks again!
Excellent and informative. Thanks for sharing the wisdom from the rockstar of bladesmiths.
Thanks for the knowledge Jason
I watched your video with great interest I never knew there was so much involved in step, thank you
I am really enjoying your content Jason. Becoming a black smith/ blade smith has been a dream i have had since i was a young teen. time has passed, life has happened and i now find at 37 years of age finally rediscovering that dream. I am tooling up to have a real go at my passion.
thank you Jason Knight for imparting your knowledge.
I am a maker!
Great mindset, Jason.
Thanks for sharing. I only disagreed on one thing... "I could keep on going on and on abou this stuff but..."
Mr. Knight! Please, go on about this stuff!
You have all this incredibly curious, precious, robust and elegant knowledge.
Make webinars, teach classes, reach as many people as you can. You ARE already changing the world. Beautifully!
Thanks for this gem. I like how common sense and basic logic intersect with facts and experience in your videos. Makes it real easy to learn 👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Super fun hobby and I've learned a lot from you. Keep posting and I'll keep watching.
Thanks for help along the maker journey!
Jason, I'm really enjoying your RUclips series, thank you for doing them. I've been a fan of yours since you were a judge on Forged in Fire! Looking forward to what is next!
Thank you for all these great videos. They are very helpful for beginners like me
Very cool to hear the knowledge being spread! Im a supreme novice and super interested in bladesmithing. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I just purchased three billets of 1084 because I read I was good to start out with. Plan on doing stock removal to start out. You are on of the many people I watch and I appreciate every video you make sharing your knowledge and passion. 🙏
I recently became a sub. And from the first time I saw what and how you do your videos I'm a fan.
I'm seriously interested in getting started. Hoping to get in a class this fall. I have an anvil that belonged to my grandfather, and I am buying used tongs and other tools that are nearing 100 years old. Excited to get into this great hobby/ way of life.
Thanks for all that you do
Really appreciate your time and knowledge drop! Thanks!
Great info. The uncommon stuff is great for learning and trying different things and then replicating that into a known steel. Nice shirt, Mine just showed up. Thank your whole crew.
That was exactly on my mind. (I categorize myself as an "advanced beginner" because I've only been forging steel for about 3 years but i have also been teaching/supervising/production forging for about 3 years...) I've been banging on some free truck spring and learning pre-form, profilling, tapering, beveling, etc... I still feel like I have basic things to learn from "junk" steel because I don't have a lot if money right now as well...
Glad someone else is on the same page :) Can't disagree, nor would I be qualified to do so, with anything he said. All sound advice and based in knowledge I only wish I had. But that $40 piece of 80CRV2 is before shipping, and it's a few feet long. I pick a 3" wide spring that is "likely" 5160, and it gives me 30 linear feet of steel to work with in 1.5" billets. For someone who doesn't know what he's doing and has only been blacksmithing for about a year, I'd much rather learn and experiment at $1.00 per blade. And if I get lucky and it's clean 5160 and heat treats accordingly, I may just end up scoring. But you go into it knowing you're gambling, but practicing. If the day ever comes that I'm making a blade to sell, then all that goes out the window and we're back to the 80CRV2 for a sellable quality product.
I am super new to bladesmithing thank you so much for your videos they have been a huge blessing to me and my 13 year old son we are learning together.
Loving your channel. Thanks for doing it.
Thank you for a brilliant informative video 👍👍👍
I deeply appreciate your sharing your knowledge,I myself like to work smarter not harder,as you said our time is valuable,so if I can pick up a great tip on working with steel it is deeply appreciated,thank you for your knowledge.!!!!
Thanks , i realy like your straight forwardness and all your knowledge
Great video it answered questions I had. I'm currently planning my forge build and gathering knowledge. Thank you sir!
Great video ! The information you gave was very educational. Thank you
Thank you sir . You inspire me greatly
Thanks for the video! It was helpful.
Your camera guy’s are doing a great job! The video’s are looking awesome!
Hello Sir, I've just subscribed.
I appreciate the fact that there is very little ego in your video's. Practical info, useful and observable techniques.
Sincere thanks to you.
Blessings to you and yours.
Awesome video, I really like it. I'm just starting with knife making, only doing stock removal and I have chosen 80CrV2 for my next knife because I saw you talking about it in some previous video and so I did some research. Continue doing such a good content
Thanks this answered questions without me asking. Just subscribed
Hi Jason. I'm just starting in the blade/blacksmithing world, and i really appreciate your tutorials , very informative with a no BS approach . I am not really well equipped so far but at least i can forge tools and knives. This presentation on which steel to use was helpful , and I was happy to hear that you like the 80crv2 to work with , after a few tries with 4340 and 4140 ( all i could find to start with) , I found some 80crv2 and liked it much better. So keep up to good work and giving the new guys like me some valuable info.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Great video great info. Keep them rolling!!!
Great information. I feel much more confident in listening to advise when it comes from someone that can explain why they make the choices they make. Compared to the person who says....."Because, that is the way I have always done it." I admire the person who does their own research. Thanks for the info.
Appreciate the information. Thank you again.
Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!
I've watched every episode of Forged in Fire since it started. I always thought I would love knife making. I made/forged my first knife on July 24, 2021 at Resilience Forge with Kyle Gahagan and was in love with forging knives. I desire to Be a Maker. Your Videos are Great with Info for Beginners. I've also started listening to your podcasts. Thank You for Sharing Your Knowledge!
Straight to the point liked it Thank you
Just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of forged in fire and am hoping to get into smithing myself after I learn welding for my first full time trade. Seeing that you posted a video explaining what steel is better for beginners etc made my day and I look forward to more forged in fire, more smithing videos and hope having you judge one of my blades someday
Very informative. Blessings and Thank you.🤙
Very informative and straightforward. It t makes perfect sense and I have some good bar stock coming in soon. Thank you for the tips Mr. Knight
Good advice from a wise man. Long time fan here.
When you posted this I was forging 80crv2. I love this steel and the only other steels I use are the w2 and Hiatachi 1085. I love all of them but, my favorite is the 80crv2. I tried it after it was recommended by you ! Thanks for the sound advise.
What's your opinion on 52100? My favorite user knife, is made from ballbearing steel and I like it more than my 80crv2 knives. I would say, that ballbearing is more suitable for small and medium size blades and 89crv2 for large. I could be wrong though, because I;m a user and nor a knifemaker. Happy new Year!!
@@greekveteran2715 Why even post? Can you not read?
@@levigivens As if you could read,that the comment was made more than one year ago. What's your problem anyway
Thanks for sharing all these tricks&tips
Very helpful. Thank you Jason.
Thank you for sharing invaluable information!
Thank you. Answered a lot for questions for me.
Thankyou sir, tis right nice to get just plain good advice.
I like what you said about making damascus with steels that will make a blade by itself... makes a lot of sense. Thank you for that little bit of knowledge.
Learned more in this video then I did in 3 weeks watching others love the plain speak and experiance based knowledge over other sites...
Thank you for your time
THANKS JASON!
