  • This is a Dwarven Miner Knife, all craftdwarfship is of the finest quality.

  • Absolutely gorgeous stuff. I had to go to your website and looks at what you do. A few questions though if you don't mind. How does your blades last up to today's knifes that you see in the market for combat, self defense, cooking, and bushcraft?

  • what type of metal are you using forging the billet is it high carbon steel 

  • May I inquire why you chose Maple to use for the handle of the knife? Is there a particular quality of maple that is well suited for this knife?

  • So what step do you have to do to make it a +1 or +2 dagger. If possible can you make me a +3 holy avenger with the vorpal ability. HAHAHah sorry I nerded out there a bit. Awesome shop, knife, and vid.

  • do you get paid to do this?

  • quick q ,how is it 50 layers ?

  • @Turel12399 It hardens the metal by cooling it rapidly.

  • Cool Knife, If you have questions do a search on YouTube I'm sure someone has done a video about it...

  • what is dunking the hot blade in the black oil meant to do?
