Don't know anything about this stuff and not even sure how stumbled onto the channel, only that I enjoy watching the process - "Made in America" still beautiful to see, t/y.
I think you've got something there using rounding dies! I've often wondered how the pattern could be manipulated into C's by just using different dies, but have never tried it. Thanks, as always, for sharing.
Seeing you cut up a piece of band saw brings back memories. My job before retirement was working in a filing room of a sawmill where we ran saws just like that. We tossed out literally tons of that steel every year. We filled scrap steel bins with them.
Very cool end grain pattern! Looked even cooler that many explosion patterns ive seen. It would be very cool if you could get a blade that had that end pattern covering the blade with one "explosion" pattern. I like bolder patterns personally
@@FireCreekForge do it! That Nessmuk blade but setup more like a kitchen knife with more finger clearance maybe. But definitely keep the long sweep on the blade for camp cooking. I'm forging a couple RR clip blades that will stay in my Rubbermaid camp cooking tote, micarta handles because I know they will be abused. One blade I've never seen you make is a fillet knife! That would be a cool video for sure! I've been wanting to forge one but am a bit overwhelmed on the geometry needed to flex properly.
@@FireCreekForge I've been keeping an eye out for a 6 or 8 ft section buy am in no hurry to procure a chunk. I still have a large stockpile of 2" wide ⅛" thick 15n20 and ¼" thick 80crv2. I'm wanting to explore stainless damascus for sterling silver lined damascus bands. I've made a few and are very cool except they do get a corroded look to the damascus.
Very nice my friend, I wonder what it would look like if you did that "explosion" pattern you stumbled on and forged a blade of it. Not showing the end pattern but the seeing what the side grain of it.
Great looking piece. Have you ever considered using Gulso bolts instead of pins? I’ve seen some other makers use them so they can easily remove the scales to etch and everything goes back together perfectly. I’ve been thinking about trying them

Thank you for the narration! I often crochet while watching UA-cam, which means I wind up listening more than watching
That pattern is very delecate and the contrast is great, I really like this one!
That is a really cool pattern.
oh yeah - you just keep getting better and better. Great knife!
Cool pattern!
Thanks for the narration! Love hearing what you're doing, it brings so much more to the video 😊
Thanks!
Another great video! I love how you forge, explain, and teach. If I ever start making knives, you are the guy I’m going to study
Beautiful work and craftsmanship 👍💪👏
Looks good nicely done 👍
Another great creation 👍👍
Very nice job. Beautiful work my friend 🤘👍
Love the pattern. Beautiful knife.

Where are these scrap bins you speak of sir?
@@lukelofgren4108 Sadly the mill shit down and it was all sold as scrap.
I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone forge weld without using borax as glue. Finally, a proper blacksmith on YT ❤
Very nice. Enjoyed.
Thanks Randy

I agree, and yeah a lower count on the final layering would work I think
Are you wanting some saw blade material?

Nice work my brother!!! As always enjoy the content and education! 👍👊
Thank you!
NICE!!!
Awesome work as always!!
Beautiful
Awesome 👍
Fantastic blade 👍👍

i love your work dude
Thank you!
Nice

I use a lot of Loveless bolts, rarely use pins anymore.
I always wonder how do you achieve a flat tang so it adheres seamlessly to the scales. Do you flatten it at the anvil, the vise or the grinder?
It's a combination of forging flat, then grinder.
Have you ever twisted one too much and twisted it right off?
I have before, yes
Knife makers make mistakes. Blade-smiths just make smaller knives.
could you have used a scrap piece of metal ,the same thickness of the tang, between the scales so as to not worry about scratching? \o/
just a thought
Another epic pattern/blade! As always thanks for sharing your process and insights! What wood are those handle scales?
Thanks! Scales are desert ironwood
Sir Have you ever Try Stainless Steel Hose Clamps instead Of Welding? Could Save of labor Strength?
👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
Seems all the new channels i find are Christians. Thank you.
