THIS video is MORE REALISTIC for an Average Joe ! I get annoyed by DIY vids where the dude has a warehouse full of expensive equipment, a forge, band saws, grinders, belt sanders, welding supplies... Great specimen of knife

It's by no means a "new" video on how to make a knife out of an old file, but THE FACT YOU DID IT WITHOUT ANY POWERTOOLS makes this totally awesome!!!
-
I have watched a lot of knife making videos here on YouTube. This is the first time I have felt that I could apply the same tools and skills as this guy, and make my own knife. Much applause and gratitude my friend. God Speed. ❤

I have a LOT of respect for this guy. Going at it old school and the resulting knife is amazing! I've made knives with no power tools, so I can relate. He wanted it, applied incredible effort, and made it happen!!! My hats of to ya!!!

Сижу думаю сделать себе нож из напильника , но у меня нет горна , нет гриндера . Сегодня понял , у меня просто нет желания его делать ! Отличная трудоемкая работа 👍

This is by far the best channel I've found for practical shop applications and engineering. So many other channels will show you the same things, but they do it with their $1500 Festool power tools, or their $10,000 lathes, with their $20,000 filtration systems inside of their $150,000 shops. Mazay shows that you can make all of those things on your own at a fraction of the cost and be able to produce the same results with some determination and hard work.

Пока смотрел, сигарета дотлела до фильтра и обожгла пальцы, а я даже ни разу не затянулся. Офигительное залипательное видео. И главное - всё понятно, что делает мастер, ибо сам такое делал неоднократно, только на разных предметах. Где-то буковые дощечки по форме опиливал на рукоять ножа, Где-то по металлу личнёвым напильником (на гарду и навершие). А вот так, всё от начала и до конца одними напильниками и наждачкой.... Огонь, одним словом! Браво!

Beautiful and badass knife! I love your handmade tools and the Old school manual drill. I also enjoy the fact that you kept the sound of the work being made, not some generic music for the entire video. Keep up the good work! 👏👏

Man, I always admire the post-grid collapse feel of these builds. Someone either gotta really want to do this, or is legit just learning the basics of knife making. Always great to watch.

Сразу вспомнил школу 8-9 класс труды , мы точили напильником , делали молоток 🛠 занятие увлекательное, Автору респект 👍
-
Bravo 👏👏👏 за время изготовления ни один электоприбор не пострадал ..... за исключением пылесоса 😊 отличная работа , ручной труд , гораздо ценнее .

I've watched a lot of knife making videos on and off over the years, but I've been put off by the expense and need for equipment. This has been the first video I've seen that seems attainable for the beginner who can't shell out for what's required. (This is the first video I've seen from this creator). Thank you - you've given me hope that I can enjoy knife making on a budget.

Золотые руки у человека! Смотрел видео до конца с БОЛЬШИМ удовольствием. 😊
-
Вне всяких похвал! Снимаю шляпу! МАСТЕРУ огромный респект!!! 👍💪✌️
-
A lesson in patience and attention to detail. Awesome job.
-
hand tool skills! love the old school ways. as a construction worker im always finding excuses to buy new power tools. Doing it like this is an art and display of skill and understanding
-
Ручная работа, это очень дорогово стоит! У этого мастера даже тиски ручной работы. Респект👍👍👍😊
-
Столько терпения и ручного труда!Просто невообразимо!

This is so freaking helpful for me. I'm working on worldbuilding for my D&D world, which technology wise is situated smack dab in the middle of the enlightenment era. This one video has given me a ton of ideas for how metalworking would work in a setting with magic, but not reliant on it

I like that this is as minimal as ur gonna get to making high quality knives out of cheap materials
