    Really appreciate your taking the time to explain every step along the way. The finished product is beautiful and the video is extremely informative. I’m about halfway through my first attempt at feather. Your detailed description of the process is very helpful.
  • @lovejcdc
    That is absolutely the definition of a true bowie knife. I get so tired of so many others out there making some long blade and calling it a bowie. This blade is worth every penny in my humble opinion. Absolutely beautiful work.
  • @izzatu
    That is quite the blade, and what a beautiful pattern

    Feather is my favorite pattern. I really appreciate how you took your time with the stacks to ensure control of the pattern and your management of materials for multiple projects. Im enjoying your channel.

    I have watched several videos with elaborate diagrams and such, but never show the billet orientation during forging. This video is by far the best I have seen. I am on my third attempt at feather damascus .I feel pretty confident with help of this video , the 3rd attempt will be a success. Thank You!

    I just happened to mention my new found interest to my son (Burley cong.) last night. He told me about you. I have only watched 1 of your videos, but in my opinion, it is the best produced.

  • @Logan.H.L
    Very well done video one of the better produced I have seen, and I learned a fair bit as well! Great job! As a relatively new bladesmith 2.5ish years I have been watching a lot of videos and this one ranks towards the top if not the top, for cinematography, good information, and very smooth and informative commentary.
