Let's be honest. We watch her channel because she's very knowledgeable about blades & because she's literally an angel on Earth.

[Beartron.actual]

I like how genuinely she geeks out on knives. Makes the content more authentic. Great job. Keep up the good work.

[nickziemer]

These blades were stunning to look at! I’ve never been to a blade show, but Melissa’s presentation of this video made it so clear showing the work and detail of each knife made me appreciate the end result of what these makers went through. I’m a rookie but I’m learning more everyday.

Fantastic video as always Melissa, thanks for showing us what real craftsmanship looks like.

[techbro_]

I never imagined beauty like this was possible! Those people are true artists!

[Badassest]

All of these blades are stunning. I cant believe the Damascus patterns- wow! My fave is the khukri (second shown i think, so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[johnlone]

WOW! Thank you very much! I wonder how long it took for some of these Artists/Bladesmiths to finish their masterpieces; from idea to paper to material gathering/plans, to processing, and finally in to a finished blade. Did they took them just that one year, from one annual blade to the next for presentation; or maybe, that one sword or dagger or a knife, took over a year or so and finally presented it to the next incoming blade show? Or maybe, that some of some these Artists/Bladesmiths are that good & well-seasoned, that they made all of these in less than a month or so, as easy as farting in the wind. All in all, these are just awesome to see.

[KnathansKnives]
