Thanks. I would say about 18-20hrs total. It takes more time than you would think. Just getting the fire that hot took 3 hours! I had three hours of footage too!

Cutting the knife out took 1 hour, filing/grinding the blade down on each side took 4hrs, sanding took 2hrs, the fire took 3hrs, the tempering took 4hrs, the sanding (again) took 2hrs, the wood handle took an hour to epoxy and then 2hrs to sand.
