@TyrellKnifeworks3 years ago You come up with some of the most unique ideas! I also think viewers might not understand how complicated it is to forge an integral guard like this. Well done, great build! 👍🏻 37
@

@theriversexperience93833 years ago That guards is nuts man, I didn't realize it was integral. Jeez, I wish that all the viewers understood the awesomeness of this build. 16
@

@lionelwilliams9155last year I like how you explain everything most of the other knife makers don't thank you for that 1
@

@BA-sv7iblast year i LOVE the guard/handle of this knife. i'm not a big fan of the damascus but this Is a masterpiece 1
@

@FireCreekForge3 years ago This "Bowie Challenge" has been months in the making. You don't want to miss any of the builds. I think you'll be intrigued by the method I'm using to build my Bowie knife, and I think you'll like the final results. ... 15

@

@Aleeknives3 years ago Dude, I am groovy! I love it. What an amazing idea that you have come up with! Your Bowie came out insane! I love how thick the guard looks. AA+ bro 4
@

@jeffryrichardson35373 years ago Omg dude I love that Damascus pattern. I am very impressed on the method you used to get it. Very simple way to get an outstanding look on the Bowie build. One of my favorite blade designs. I will remember that little nugget of a trick for the pattern. Awesome job man. Love your work. ... 4
@

@bigunksworkshop7863 years ago Can't wait to see what you come up with. 1
@

@noahbenmoshe51482 years ago A beautiful job first time I see a blacksmith makes the guard of the knife one piece with the blades with the whole knife I like it a lot Is this for sale, 1
@

@HouseMadeUS3 years ago Very creative! I am getting a press so I'll be able to join the ranks of you all making custom steels. Nice work and thanks for the inspiration. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 3
@

@SBDScott3 years ago Same pattern, but drill the holes in at a 45 degree angle. That would look even more epic. 1
@

@krissteel40743 years ago That's a truly unique piece of work alright 1
@

@RedBeardOps3 years ago Man, that RCD is legit! Good looking knife sir! 1
@

@christopherkatz94842 years ago I am going through watching everyone from the bowie challenge, and you are the first one to do scales out of the 8 I have seen so far! Great work, it looks awesome 1
@

@BlackBeardProjects3 years ago Damn! That's new to me! Can't wait to try some canister stuff myself, hopefully soon! The pattern you got looks awesome, very unique! Mitosis damascus 😎 Congrats man! 5
@

@eddiethompson717last year BRAH, Do you ever screw up. You just don't miss. Nice job!
@

@dgibraltar3 years ago I love the process and the outcome. Well done sir. 1
@

@HeavyForge3 years ago Great work man!! That’s was crazy! Really like the integral guard!🔥💪🏻⚒ 4
@

@billwoehl30517 months ago 🤔🤔🤔🤔 this gives me an idea, dot matrix pictures as the pattern, different sizes, different shades, maybe even possible to get someone with enough talent to make it look like a photograph of somebody. 🤫 1
@

@Smootus3 years ago Stunning build, you explain everything really well, too, 2
@

@DevilsWings3 years ago I knew about canister damascus but that is a whole new level of creativity!
@

@dirtfarmer74723 years ago That’s nicer than Jim Bouie ever carried. Nice, nice 1
@

@dlbknives48693 years ago I think you came up with an awesome concept and really executed it well. Amazing work!! 2
@

@D00MTR333 years ago Amazing knife. Very unique idea and I love how it turned out in the end, never seen a pattern like that. Amazing craftsmanship making an integral guard to see to the complex pattern already.
@

@MasterBigBass3 years ago Let's just say I've never seen that type of canister process before and color me impressed! 1
@

@mustafaunal18343 years ago Nice. It is a hard way for blade making. You win my vote.
@

@nicholaseedy32443 years ago Awesome work Eli! I think you came up with an awesome concept and really executed it well. Such an interesting pattern. Love how it looks around the tip. 1
@

@ShootingUtah3 years ago Might be one of my favorite knives you've made on here. Makes me want to build a press and a bigger forge. I'm just at the hand forging level as of now so such a big integral guard would be pretty hard given my setup. Awesome work! ... 2
@

@Joe_Bandit3 years ago Very cool. Wonder what it would look like if you twisted the block? 1
@

@AIIZreviews3 years ago Thank you for saying Bowie correctly. You can teach Dennis Tyrell how to say it
@

@heikolang3353 years ago That guard alone was worth subscribing! Sweet pattern, got to try that at some point.... 1
@

@Torrath74113 years ago I love the blade! Now I'm just trying to picture how it would have looked if you twisted the billet. Fantastic work, as always. 2
@

@dungeonmetalworks42813 years ago I enjoyed your bowie build the most, so you get my vote!
The damascus looks great, the integral guard rly shows your skill and i love how it all turned out in the end. 1
@

@stevefriswell54223 years ago Very nice piece you made there sir. Well done.
@

@fuddrucker743 years ago Wow... that came out the bees knees, Man. I've never seen a guard done from the same chunk of steel as the blade and tang, before. That's just great work, Sir. 1
@

@wolfparty42343 years ago Best one yet Eli!!! I’m loving it!
💪🏼🔥🔥🔥 1
@

@andyc7503 years ago very like it, lot of work with the integral guard, impressive 1
@

@belliott5383 years ago Beautiful Blade!
I would be Torn in Two! Whether to get this Blade Bloody… Or Keep it in a Display Case… 😎
Now it needs a Bad Ass Leather Sheath in which to carry it… 1
@

@ryanblystone51533 years ago This challenge is really showing off some out of the box creations. I would like to see more with this kind of pattern. What other metals can we put in there? 2
@

@marvelsedge72393 years ago Very nice work. Keep it up I enjoy watching.
@

@erikcourtney18343 years ago Pattern is not what I expected. Completely forgot about the ball bearings. Turned out really neat. I like it 1
@

@bradleycairns9082 years ago Great work man. I mean wow! That pattern did turn out amazing, and the quality of the steel would be impressive too. Thanks for sharing 👍👍⚒️
@

@jeffharmon79273 years ago Bowie came out awesome. sorry had to vote for beetle greens his pattern looks really cool 2
@

@Anderson-HandForged3 years ago awesome knife very cool design and love the pattern Mark 1
@

@reubencdebaca24083 years ago Great build! This is probably the strongest and most useful knife of the lot being that it is a solid one piece including the guard, but that said, a contrasting guard of another metal really makes a knife look great. If I had to choose one to use in the outdoors, this would be the one that gets my vote, as it is rugged and strong, but not too pretty that I'd care if it got beat up during use. ... 1
@

@richardorta89602 years ago Crocodile Dundee called, he wants that knife. 1
@

@tobiasripper41243 years ago "... as all things should be".

@

@funnyriverred25013 years ago looks amazing dude... thats gonna be one tough Bowie knife!!! 1
@

@MrSoloun3 years ago Great idea looked very interesting, I thought you were going to cut it and stack like for mosaic and was wondering about the integral setup, now I get it hehe :) Great Blade. 1
@

@ARI-og5ze2 years ago well definitely I'll Voit on you 😂 love it 1
@

@tylervanorman4923 years ago Thats what I was thinking, hope it turns out. Way to get out of the box! 1
@

@derekdodson56232 years ago Very cool design idea. Finished dimensions?
@

@outbackladas3 years ago Nice looking blade, like the pattern. Regards from Down Under. 1
@

@lukelofgren41083 years ago It turned out awesome! That's the 2nd or 3rd type of Damascus I've seen you come up with nobody else has done. Bravo! I'll be watching all the others but you were the first. I'll be voting afterwards. I'm not sure if you mentioned the type of steel the billet you started with was? ... 1
@

@micahduvick59863 years ago Looks awesome! What procedure do you do for normalizing and grain refinement? I have made a few Ball Bearing Damascus knives myself. Just curious what you do. I will hopefully be getting my own heat treating oven soon. 1
@

@joshmajor86623 years ago Damn man you’ve got the right attention to go places with this!! You do a great job and videos aren’t horribly edited Lol I wouldn’t do it!! Editing sounds like the worst part. Congrats man, I subbed immediately 👍🏼 good luck and thanks for sharing all this with us. ... 1
@

@dwaynegibbs83713 years ago I know I'm not as famous as some of y'all, but I would be willing to give this a try next time. If y'all do another one, how do I enter?
@

@kevinlipka43363 years ago Very nice. Where you buy your 1060 and powdered from ? Thank you 1
@

@DBCraftWorld3 years ago Hi Elijah! I have no idea how many days you've been drilling those holes Man- respect😂! Totaly awesome knife construction- it must be super solid and you spent a long day to grind it to shape! Big thumbs up from me! and +1sub! Regards, David! ... 1
@

@NORTHBROOK19783 years ago I seen a video the other day that used a dolphin wired out..and then put into to make Damascus. I would love to cut something out at work and send it to you.. I'm still working on my press..it's on the back burner for now. But I'm a machinist that has access to an EDM wire. Maybe some skulls or something like that. ...
@

@markmatt91743 years ago Hey Guys; going to post this in all the videos.
Have to say lived these builds & was a HARD choice since we only get 1 vote. Would be better to have a 1, 2, and 3 choices since many channels have fewer subs but did great builds. That way there could be a bit more of an average top choices & determination of top 5 kind of challenge.
@Tyrell Knifeworks got my vote but @Green Beetle, @Red Bears Ops, @Wengels Workshop were all right there at great builds for a 2 or 3 place fight. ...
@

@kassiog.65952 years ago Man midway there the billet looked like shit, only someone as skilled as you could have turned tha lump of steel on such a beautiful blade 1
@

@peteharder63252 years ago Probably a dumb question, but how well does 1060 retain an edge? 1
@

@rudy19173 years ago Can someone please tell me when the voting was done and who won? I have been searching for the day, but I know I must have missed it. Thank you everybody.
@

@samuellipscomb81733 years ago Bsdass knife. I wonder what you would do for a beefy camp bowie?
@

@anthonystrunk53603 years ago Awesome knife man.. wish I had voted now.. sorry 1
