The sharpening work on the knife is fantastic, and given the choice of materials, it should hold an edge for a long while. This could turn into more work to sharpening it however due to the hardness. Something I've seen other blade smiths do with their billet jacket; white spray paint on the inside of the jacket before loading it with your steel. It will make it separate easier after taking it out of the heat. Should require less cuts if the presses aren't done too aggressively in the hydraulic press. Also, nickel powder will results in a much better contrast between the metal bands and protects the blade from oxydization. You'll get some nicer colors after you finish the temper too. You might lose some edge retention, but this should be fine for most knives anyway so as to take the work out of sharpening them by hand. If you want your handle to last long term, it would benefit from oiling. Linseed, walnut, or mineral oil get the job done and prevent air or moisture from penetrating the wood. You can also seal it with hot wax or burnish it with a patch of denim (though the latter takes a lot of elbow work). This results in a comfortable, glossy texture, very nice on the hands, proofing it against stains and wood rot for the long term.
The weld between your hydraulic press rod and the press head/bar is cracked and failing. You can see it flexing and moving in your first press sequence
Those plates are designed to slide in and out to change from flat stock for achieving width and flatness to curved plates for lengthening the stock..that's why they're moving..
because in metallurgical videos there is no way, HYPAR, the video even though the channel is small and the same also applies to videos with firearms which also do not have the option even though the channel is small, so UA-cam where is the impartiality in your service
Really sharp 👍👍

Очередное видео из серии как 2 кузнеца с гидравлическим прессом не могут выковать нож, вместо этого вырезают профиль из заготовки на гриндере 🤣🤣🤣
Dope AF results, @Randomknives1! Now it needs an equally dope sheath to complete the package!!
The pattern is hardly visible.
Try coffee etching next time.
I have sooo much better, that's a kitchen knife nothing more.
Still not smart enough to wear shoes
