Torb, as a retired master lapidary, award winning designer and hand fabricating goldsmith, I know that there is a world of difference between “precision” and _precise_ precision; that there is a difference between “good enough for public consumption ” and true mastery of a craft. Thank you, my friend, for the chance to watch the latter in action. Very nice work, indeed!

When I was about 10 or 12 living in Penny,BC Canada I had mowed laws help cut peoples wood for a whole year to buy in the late 70's a German chip carving kit with two oil stone kit from Lee Valley. The one you made totally reminds me of those that I still have a use. Very nice work you will inspire me when I have my forge up and running again in a year. Thanks for the share.

Little wonder why I and so many others repeatedly watch your videos because you are such a marvelous artist craftsman. Your work is beautiful as is the result. Congratulations Torb on another beautiful video. You are the Master.

I don't understand why so many dislikes, the only negative comments I see are about the handle but that follows pretty closely to the euro style carving handle so I think people just don't understand that it's a purpose built knife. Anyway, Love the fact that you made this from the drop off another knife. I'm always looking for ways to minimize material loss and this nails it. Beautiful knife, flawless execution as always. Kudos!

gorgeous work! the eccentric turning was clever.

Not only blacksmithing, you are also master of wood. Applause from Türkiye.

I am sure u have lines of ppl wanting ur merchandise! If not they should be and if so, it’s up to u to make it...sometimes art is for u and for us to watch, not own...I have several paintings I have kept and several I have sold and given away. It’s all up to the artist...thank u for sharing sir.

watching your videos is always an after work enjoyment for me.....thanks for all your knowledge and passion!

I like your slow and deliberate way of doing things. Its more precise and shows professionalism and care than some super speeded up thrill fest maker video.

I got such a big smile on my face from this one Torbjorn. Loved it.

You are truly a patient and meticulous blacksmith. Thank you, your video gave me the knowledge.

Now I've begun carving and this is very interesting to me as I've gotten into Blacksmith for wood working tools and should be busy with making chisels and gouge and knives Thanks for teaching 😮😂

Really nice job on the carving knife !!! I enjoy watching the patient way you work, thanks again

I swear you do the cleanest forging I've seen. Very little material has to be ground/sanded afterwards.

I am a smith ('Smed') and this was a delight to watch. How wonderful.

Geez bud. You do it all. Not just a blacksmith but turn on the lathe as well. Bravo

Love watching blacksmithing and carving, I don't know why.

A craftsman in his element! Beautiful carving knife, Kudos

Don't you love when metal and wood come together. Amazing work, thanks for sharing.

It may be a little knife, but there is such a lot of engineering knowledge and artistic sensitivity to make such an effective and beautiful product. As an engineer, I cannot help appreciating and admiring the knowledge about the metallurgy and the heat treatment phases that this gentleman takes that small volume of metal through, to finish up with the required effective metal zones to fit the purpose of the knife. As for the wooden handle, the shape and length and grip circumference and length of knife with respect to the handle length, this gentleman has it all so well balanced with applying the lever principle in the right proportion and moments. Sir, congratulations and well done. What a pity that many schools/educators do not appreciate such a high level of intelligence. In my time 80 years ago many children went by the wayside because their intelligence was not appreciated by their teachers who regarded reading and writing as the epitome of education, memory was preferred from logic, reason and rational thinking and a lot of dexterity and processes controlled by an intelligent mind. Memory is not intelligence.

Beautiful classroom of cutlery! Fantastic job!

I admire your skills, thanks for sharing your time with us.

I bought an old lathe at an auction and all the chisel (15) were made with old files. Files steel is very up to the first quality steel. Thanks for showing.

the finest example of a carving knife is deserving of another viewing. thank you ; ]

I want that. Beautiful!

I've been wanting to make one of those for a long time now. Thanks for the great info on blacksmithing one of these fantastic knives. - Josh

That anvil...that lathe....that knife. Beautiful stuff. Great video.

Tempering in the kitchen oven,sharpening on the counter...don't let the wife see that. Great work as usual. Your channel is my favorite smithing channel.

What a skilled craftsman.

Lovely to see a small functional knife here on KZfaq! It tends to be a lot of big, bulky, cool looking knifes that makes for nice thumbnails. Thanks for bringing something practical to the table 😊 #Everybodylovesagoodcarvingknife 🐝

as a semi-pro blacksmith myself i can say that from workshop to tools you my friend are doing the best you can with what you have and i respect that. keep up the good work buddy

This is abnormaly satisfying to watch. You truly have an artist soul!

This is so beautiful! I watch it every time it appears in the timeline.

Nice trick with the offset, making the handle. Didnt know about that.

It was a pleasure watching you work. You are truly a craftsman.

Your work, detail, and care are exceptional! If I had 10% of your skill, I'd have a KZfaq channel! Thanks for sharing...

Oh thank you for the video and for keeping it detailed and informative. I would really like to combine my woodcarving skills with blacksmithing in the future! Good luck with all you do :D

Watching this kind of craftsmanship, I was spellbound from start to finish!!

One of the best blacksmith i have ever seen

From the thumbnail I first thought it's a Mora knife but it is really a homemade one. Nice work!

Lovely bit of off-centre turning there. Many people would have just bodged that on a belt sander or something

You are truly a master of your crafts! Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your videos, I aspire to work enough to get my own forge and anvil so I can learn forge welding, I graduated from a trade school for smaw, mig welding and tig welding and I was told by more than one trade that the school in particular was a scam. I work to accomplish many things but my European heritage , and my heart drives me to work with metal. I love your videos.

Quality products!!! It's true, you always get what you pay for.

The long-awaited video from the new studio.

The man with every tool. Wow. Awesome.

väldigt inspererande och lärorikt. tack för bra video och otroligt hantverk

a sharp knife is a safe knife, but that carving demo at the end had me sweating. your technique of off-setting the handle on the lathe is brilliant. great work, as always!

you got skill and this stuff i love it!

Why, sir, the beauty of the "small carving knife" handle equals that of the blade ! ( 22:55 ) A perfect complement to each other. Bravo ! I could rub linseed oil into that beauty quite regularly !

While your such a talented blacksmith and turn out stunning work, as you were wood turning you did a trick I last saw my father do, when he was alive, you lated the back of the chisel on the turning piece to hear if it was rounded or not. It instantly brought back memories of my dad, thank you for that

Another great video! Thanks for the entertainment.

Отличная работа!

People using cut off wheels side ways drove me crazy, great job btw. :D

this is a classic example of what a real swedish knife maker does when he makes any kind of knife that needs to be able to take one hell of a beating. mora makes laminated steel knives so that they have a sharp edge and a tough outer layer that keeps flex and still stays sturdy and straight. great work on this little blade torbjörn i hope to see more awesome creations from you:) btw did you know that if you make oak handles and they just wont get smooth try and coat the thing in a layer of thick oil letting it soak into the grain and then sanding it flush again this eliminates those small holes and helps the wood feel more solid (this works with any wood type that has a similar problem)

21:41 Long sleeves and lathe! Choose one. I am surprised nobody said about it

youtube: would you like to watch torbjörn’s new video? me, ecstatic: boy would i!

Nice combination of woodturning and blacksmithing. Well done!

Always as clean as it can be. Beautiful job. Just one suggestion: if you need to make another hidden tang knife, try to use a syringe to push the epoxy all the way down. I use also a heat shrinking tube (the ones used to cover electric wire junctions) attached to the tip of the syringe to get all the way to the bottom, pulling it out slowly as i push the epoxy in. Easy and cheap way to ensure the whole cavity is filled. That being said, you made me want to go hammer, turn and carve something. Your channel is so addictive! Thanks for sharing your incredible all-around craftmanship!

I TRULY LOVE YOUR ( PERFECTION ) AT WHAT EVER YOU ARE DOING. FROM THIS SMALL KNIFE TO INSTALLING YOUR POWER HAMMER. THANK YOU👍👍👍

I love how his name is torbjorn and he makes things just like the torbjorn in overwatch.

That's an eminently elegant way to shape the handle. Very nicely done. I love the reflection of the light in the grain of the wood as brought out by the linseed oil.

It is amazing to make with your hands things that will fit in your hands. Let the next generation know that.

I feel My testosteron rising, just by watching this... Amazing...

Excelente trabalho. Está de parabéns!

that is such a nice little knife.cuts through wood like butter,and paper like its not even there.effortlessly.you are extremely talented.

Perfect instruction 😊 Cant wait to try making this !

As always... excellence of execution, bro... that is always a deep pleasure to watch.

Beautiful knife! Amazing how sharp you made it!!

So much work were put in this knife. I can just imagine how expensive this knife should be.

I admire your skills and craftsmanship !

That is awesome! I have been waiting for another video from you! And you got to use the lathe! Great video my friend, this is on my list of projects.

never appreciated my small carving knife more than i do now.

Two beautiful productions. The knife and the video.

Dang. I don't know if you are a better craftsman or teacher. Take your pick. A truly excellent lesson. I have my own channel on making sculpture and my videos have gone from embarrassingly awful to marginally watchable. With your examples I hope to get up to pretty good by years end! And what a lovely tool.

Why did you go for a handle that shape? It looks disproportionate somehow. Such a beautiful knife though

I really like such knives. Thanks for the movie. :)

Torbjorn your videos are so peaceful and entertaining!! Its very soothing to me to hang out and watch what amazing thing you are creating next thank you!

You just keep making the best blacksmithing videos in the tube. Nice little carver.

Damn! You're talented as hades. I am going to have to sharpen my skills brother. You inspire me.

Wow that is a beautiful little carving knife.

A very nice video clearly showing the process.

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship!

Класс! Всегда приятно смотреть на работу мастера!

Nice work sir

Im astonished at the craftsmanship.

Какое же наслаждение просматривать Вашу работу! И финиш заслуживает аваций!!! Спасибо! Удачи Вам!!!!

3:06 am I the only person that heard the beginning of Ali-A's intro

very nice

Dude, u have the best toys!!!

This video made me so excited for you and what you will do in the future. Looks great can't wait to see what's next

Beautiful job 😊 ॐ

Are you planing on forging a sword once ? or you are focusing on making practical tools for now.

You are very skilled . Much respect .

Really interesting maneuver on the lathe, beautiful result!

Хороший мастер! Есть чему поучиться.

Torbjörn, do you have Emil i Lönneberga in your family ? ;D Good job

I like this orquideas. Very good job. You are a real blacksmith.

Excellent work. I love to watch these videos. Even with no words spoken one can learn how to make this knife. I look forward to your next video my friend.

now I finally understood that iron is just like plasticine
