That knife is looking awesome! I can't wait to watch part 2! :)

Loving the knife so far. I love the look of Damascus Steel. One suggest, though. Get you a work shop apron. There's many reason why you should have one. However, a fire resistant apron will keep your clothes from getting singe marks or even from catching on fire.

Nate: I better put on safety glasses in case the oil splashes. Also Nate: Wears shorts and a t-shirt

I love that you showed off the decisions and difficulties getting the right contrast - often this isn't mentioned at all - so good! 👌💚

You got a billet from (in my opinion) the best master smith alive. Good video.

The blade is really beautiful. Thank you Nate for showing all the technics.

This is one of the most beautiful damascus blades I have ever seen! Awesome job to the both of you!

Hurry up with pt.2. So excited to see finale!!!!!!! Love to see your knife process getting stronger and more knowledgeable. Pt 3- hot metal, anvils and hammers.

That is such a beautiful start to that knife. Looking forward to pt 2.

Oh hey Nate! That piece of steel is gorgeous and I'll bet the knife is gonna end up looking just as great

Very well explained and a beautiful knife. Looking forward for part two.

cant believe you have a royer piece. if i had that damascus, i wouldve frame it on the wall just as an abstract art. he is a phenomenon!

Wow, that is one gorgeous looking blade. That Damascus pattern is beautiful. That is going to a sick looking knife. Loved watching him make the blank.

Very lovely blade, can't wait for part 2. Love the videos as always.

Wow, great work Nate! Very nice knife ! I've always wondered how a coffee etch works, thanks for taking the time to explain that. Looking forward to part 2

I realy appreciate your all in effort and all the detail i am also learning. I enjoyed many of the TKOR vids aswell. Keep up the good work

Great video and job Nate! I can't wait to see it finished!

Nice job Nate, can't wait for part 2.

Awesome video, that's a really cool blade. 😎👍 I can't wait to see part 2.

Nice, can’t wait for part 2

This was awesome I've been hooked on watching "Forged in Fire" on Netflix so I can really appreciate this in depth way of making this knife. 😀

Such a gorgeous blade! I'm looking forward to see what handle you material you pair with it in part 2.

I randomly remembered TKOR and checked and you were no longer there Then I searched your name and found this channel, subbed immediately! Love your content Nate!

Honestly I love the knife having a darker look, that pattern is awesome

The lil Futurama nod @7.11 caught me off guard hahaha

I like that you show how you screw things up, and how you work to fix it. It makes you seem more human, and the things you do seem more accessible to amateurs like me.

Holy Crap Kyle's Swords and Knives are Always Awesome To Watch Get Made! Can't wait to see you finish this one off! :)

Wow! Nice grind work, this Nate approves. 10/10 Nate's.

Looking good! I enjoy these kinds of build videos.

I’m a bit blown away that we didn’t get a few close up shots of the finished blade at the end of the video!

That pattern that Kyle made looks great, and your shaping is really nice. (Also looks like you need to make a sander like Sharup uses.)

Looks great and can't wait for part 2 Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

love it cants wait till part 2 comes out

That pattern is absolutely gorgeous

DUDE THAT IS THE COOLEST KNIFE EVER!!!

When I was in college (20+ years ago at a certain Technical Institution) I remember designing and etching PCB for projects with FC…. Nasty stuff!

Not going to lie - that's a beautiful looking knife blade. Looking forwards to part 2. Nice one. 👍👍👍

At first I was doubtful the pattern would work with the way you decided to go with the blade. But, no. That is quite special. I love the way the 'flames' rise up from the blade edge.

"We're gonna be putting it in another chemical which is instant coffee" I agree

I'm not really into this stuff but I just wanted to say I'm glad your yt career is taking off I love your content

Hey Nate, great work! I'm looking forward to part 2. Subscribed to your channel, I like your channel content. Best regards Holger

What a wonderful collab!

You did a fantastic job well done!

Cool work brother. Its unreal!👍👍

great you're becoming a knife maker!!! I always wish to have the tools and the place to do what you guys do......

That pattern is just wicked!! I love making knives from damascus! I am currently maling 2 nordic axes for a customer. It'll be 100 layer damascus, with a 1095 bit.

The blade is so beautiful, I love it

Strikingly beautiful knife so far Nate, I hope you have a great handle in mind to really do justice to Kyle's demascas pattern 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

i love your 2000's style rock music in the background of yer vids man,

Great watch. Artistry happening here!

Nate, I really like the design and the way it’s turning out. I just sub’d today. I noticed you have a vid on an Obsidian knife, I have several large pieces. It will be cool to watch & learn.

7 words: bring back over-sized candy with cali

ooooh, me likes haha. lookin' sweet Nate, can't wait ta see it finished 😮👏

Looking awesome!

First off, Nate, I love the video! Second. . kind of makes me wonder what would a fingerprint would look like on an etched piece of non acid resistant metal .. very cool I would imagine.

i love the video the music and the postivity

Informative great video, good stuff.

Was directed here from the master smith, also used to watch you on TKOR. I didnt know you had your own channel and now you have one more subscriber. :)

Oh Wow!! Beautiful!

Nice vid Nate

That's a beautiful knife. Amazing metal. And of course, it will keel.

You did an absolute outstanding job on the knife Nate! I'm looking forward to part 2 and seeing it all finished out. Kyle is a great guy and one of my favorite knife makers and it's really cool seeing you two collaborate on this awesome project!

I feel like Nate would be good at the "Forged in Fire" competition

haha love the roberto quote snuck in there

Nate: better put some safety glasses on just incase something explodes Nate then turns the shop into a blind smoke rescue exercise.

Absolutely beautiful work guys. From Dave R. from Alaska.

Oooh man I love you for the Roberto reference

Lol. Roberto impression is on point.

Loved the Futurama reference 😂

+1 for the Futurama ref

Love the Futuama Roberto reference! Lol!

yeah its great , i heard a lot useful information , cheers.

That is a beautiful blade.

hey nate why is this the first time I've seen your own YT channel major fan of TKOR and you

First time watching this channel. Seems like he’s trying to reinvent the wheel.

Good looking knife

Sweet knife bro

I hope you get to make your own damascus one day. It's one hell of an experience.

That is a really pretty knife

Nice work 👍. Regards from Down Under.

That pattern is so close to wootz it's crazy, would had loved to seen something more survivally(?) made out of it, or a sword if you had more. 🤩

17:15 if it can float a horse shoe, it's good coffee

your voice lends well to an added echo effect.

Nate - Puts on Safety Glasses - wears shorts!

an interesting person to collab with one day might be Ray the sharpener, really funny guy and makes knifes really sharp.

No pressure...lol...if you do a give-away on that chefs knive...as a chef ill sign up!!

For hand sanding, if you put masking tape on the bottom side of the blade and then lay the knife in a pile of hot glue on top of a piece of timber, it self-contours to the blade and holds it while you sand. Repeat for the other side

Long Live King Nate 👑

I’d love more info on that specific hardness tester.

Today I learned that Nate is a Futurama fan, let's go

i just noticed, the music playing around 3:20 is the same as tangotek his hermitcraft intro

Dude next time you make a knife, you should totally do a Collab with Alec or Will Stelter. Also if you can get ahold of some, totally try working with copper Damascus. It almost always turns out gorgeous.

Thank you

Knife looks awesome. Is there a reason you made the tang so thin?

That background music is giving me serious 'Poochie the dog' Vibes maaaaan.

I listen to a bunch of youtube videos while im working, just to have some background noise, but at 2:56 i heard the music and immediately thought that youtube skipped to a BDoubleO100 video XD

AWESOME 👌 👏 👍

Those White Walkers won’t know what hit ‘em!

I love ur content. I just feel like there r things i wish i could see better at times. Like there r times when i really wish i could see focused long close ups on what ur talking about or doing and im seeing a mid shot or quick close ups from various angles like a slideshow. Im noticing a lot of ur fans r already knowledgeable about this process so its probably just me.

Glad you decided to eliminate the full length bolster. They both impede sharpening and mess with the balance of the blade. I also think it looks better without it. Good choice all around and a nice way to save yourself the trouble of constantly trying to chase your lines.
