Hello! My name is Matt Waters, and this is my channel to show the process behind the bladesmithing work I do, which is primarily forged to finish or “Brute-de-Forge” chef knives.
I do veer away from the chefs knives occasionally, and try to release full build videos.

Restoring an old Japanese Axe!
Sit back and relax as this sweet little antique Japanese axe is restored to its former wood chopping glory! I did my best to maintain the surface of the steel (as it shows the history of its use) while also getting it back to full functionality and a razor sharp edge.
Thanks for watching!

Knife Making - Forging a Damascus Chefs Knife
The bad part is that you expected him to take it like it was. You saw how it came out, and you knew it didn’t look good.
Wh6 putting so much effort in a knife only to mess up the edge as you let off right before the sharpening choil and therefore making it convex right at the end. Now, your customer needs to fix that first before putting the knife it on a stone! You wouldn't buy a handbuilt car only to put factory second tires on it, would you?
Beautiful work....
Wow. That is what you call a professional service. It’s superb that you did that for the customer. 👍🇬🇧
Props to the customer for speaking up and more so to you for fixing it.

You'll stay in business taking care of your customers with blades and handles like that and customer service. Great job. I have almost a whole ironwood tree that has been drying for 20 years. 1 day I'm going to get back to making knives, because I love ironwood handles or whatever, and their beauty.
As long as the client is ecstatic. That is a beautiful ironwood handle. Excellent customer service. Assuming you sharpened the knife as a courtesy. Keep that kind of customer service and quality up 👍🤙
Honestly to me they both looked about the same
Chatoyancyyyyyy
Hey, that's the proof of real usage 👍 Cheers from 🇦🇹
@@fionnhovawart9594 that’s right! Cheers! 🍻
This is just gorgeous. btw - When you say Ironwood, what kind of tree are you referring to..? There's an amazingly hard & gorgeous looking hardwood found here in Australia - also called Ironwood - which is apparently really difficult to work when seasoned. (Quite a lot of timbermills even refuse to take it, as it needs specialist diamond-tipped saws to cut the logs into planks...)
@@_ninthRing_ that’s crazy!! I think it’s just called desert ironwood. It grows in Arizona and Mexico. I just got my hands on some wood from Australia, it’s called “Mallee” and it’s insanely hard. Almost destroyed a bandsaw blade cutting one small piece
@mattwatersbladesmith I'm not surprised. *Mallee* is a really slow-growing, desert hardwood, so can be really dense. The wood looks beautiful, though. I've seen several sculptures carved out of *Mallee Burls* which looked absolutely stunning! The smoke from burning *Mallee* wood is also supposed to have a lovely scent. There are so many other great *Aussie* woods for you to investigate: *Jarrah, Karri (+), Marri, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt* & *Sheoak.* Each has unique characteristics, gorgeous colours & remarkable grain patterns. (+) - *Karri* are an amazing tree that's native to where I live (in the *South-West* of *Western Australia).* They can grow to staggering heights, commonly topping *_50 metres (164 feet),_* and (rarely) even getting up beyond *_70 metres (230 feet)_* tall!
Agreed that piece of iron wood has way more character. Damn nice kitchen knives
Wanting to try this method on a knife I'm making at the moment, how long did you leave the knife in the handle for before taking it out? I'm worried that the epoxy is gonna set when I get around to doing it lol.
@@j_edwards6075 I leave the cup I mixed it in, so I can check when that starts to set and get hard then I pop the handle off. You could leave it til it fully sets, haha but it might be pretty difficult to get it off
@@mattwatersbladesmith That's smart. Awesome advice, cheers brother.
Very nice knife
There were zero steam explosions in this video
Beautiful ❤
@@liamhenderson3753 thanks!
Thats a beauty much more of a upgrade.
@@user-qp6pz5gq4e thanks!
That is real beauty
@@rossbrown9768 thank you!
Very nice!!
@@chrismcmann202 thanks!
that welded on bolster is so genius wow!
@@Cratercitysmith thanks! Got it from watching Salem Straub
Most likely splitting wood for shingles
Ironwood is so dense and hard to work with. Common in costa rica
Damascus Cleaver is my favorite metal band.
Why did you sell him a bunk handle in the first place if he’s such a great client?
I love a craftsman who can take criticism. That knife was damn good but the buyer said he wasn't impressed, and you fixed that with glee. If only the modern day had your quality control, we'd all be living highly
Thank you! 🍻
Well-done butifull workmanship
Thanks!
I can’t get any knife that sharp and I’ve been trying for about 6 months. I’ve tried on a 1x30 and work sharp precision adjust
If you get a good burr, from tip to heel, and break that off you’ll have a great edge. Just those two steps 👍🏻
Isn't it way better to have the metal run through the handle all the way, and full width? This way I can see that twisting
In general that is stronger, but a tang is easier and plenty strong for what it needs to do Edit: also some people don’t like the look of a metal strip in the middle of a handle
Damn looks awsome
Thank you!
What do you use to oil your handles?
Very nice work! I audibly made a satisfying grunt when I saw the new handle
Should have done a before and after at the end
Next time 👍🏻
Ummm sir uh customer service, stop making knifes full time and start teaching that full time because damn if that isn’t amazing customer care and care for your work!
What finish do you use?
Linseed oil. Honestly I try new things all the time though.
Filial piety is based.
I can’t wait for the stage of my life when I sit down in my spare time, and my mind goes straight to “I wish that one knife handle in the block was more exciting…”
Next.....I'll be looking at my hammers!
Do you make and sale fixed blades?
I do! My website link is on my channel
Beautiful 🔥
What’s something a reg dude can get and use to restore an old axe?
Angle grinder! Hand tools like rasps for the handle.
What finish do you use for youre handles
this is my first and current anvil, it might be one size smaller actually but it works great
Ur doing it wrong. U wet the hammer not the anvil. And each pop with the hammer knocks off slag and carbon
Why I water my anvil and not my knives
Japanese wood working axe
Hey. No offence. But if you already know the client and the rest of set you know. Why did you make it from 'bulk' ironwood stock to start with? Attention to detail makes a great tradesman
What kind of knife maker uses such a tiny tang...
P.S. your knives look amazing!
Thank you!
Heh. Boning
lol
It can also cause micro cracks in you knife. Hit why oil is used to harden and not water.
