@@rickwilliams967 thats the point... everyone knows what it takes to be great... but there are a few who act upon this knowlege and MANY MANY who dont... thats why its impressive.
Absolutely the best sixteen minutes and fifty-three seconds I've spent all week. What a beautiful video. Going to shop the store in a bit due to my being hypnotized. And thank you for using the correct soundtrack: no music.
Do it. I started with only 40 bucks in tools. A rail road track ( or any large bit of steel to forge on. Or even a tree stump) a pipe, a hair dryer and a bit of wood. Oh and an angle grinder makes things easier.
Really cool! I've tried it the other way around. Forging the pyramids and grinding flat. Cool to see it done this way. The pattern would have carried through if you forged the bevels even a little bit, but it looks great breaking up the pattern toward the edge.
Thanks. I was hoping to offset the pyramids so they would sink into the other side under the press but my measurements were off, using a mill would have been much more accurate! Big fan of your work 🫡🍻
Did anyone else get a chuckle out of the absolutely flawless forge welds being produced on a press with bubble-gum stick welds? Absolutely beautiful work.
Idk how you are recommended... idc truthfully... The first video i watched was the Razor Blade Damascus knife.. work of art and awesome... It takes money to make money... I'll keep watching as long g as you deep creating masterpieces...of metal
Absolutely incredible. I've made knives and watched many be made. Hands down, this is the most extraordinary, skillfully executed, and gorgeous piece of art yet. You made advanced techniques look effortless. Kudos.
Damn 😮😶 absolutely perfect, square and clean in every single step of the process. And in the end, I mean, what can I say, i'm speechless😦 A piece of art. Magnificent beauty, absolute mastery and surety of taste
One of the coolest setups with a variety of tools I've ever seen. Love to see all that equipment put to use like that. Could make a simple knife but it's cool to see a lofty goal achieved with ease.
Beautiful press work. Large billets aren’t easy to handle with such precision. And also that angle grinder and then belt grinding too. Just amazing. I’ve never seen this pattern before but it is amazing. And overall the blade is just a work of art. Great job bro.
The process is amazing. And I've never seen anyone grind a diamond pattern into the metal before 😮. Absolutely beautiful blade and colorful handle as well
What a beautiful knife you've created. But beyond beauty which is just an object pleasing to the eye, this tool goes beyond its looks and is a proper cutting implement that if taken care of will be in service for a very very long time into the future long beyond our own lives. I would be proud to own and use that knife or any knife created by you.
I do not know anything about forging but it is a beautiful knife. Would you mind sharing why you chose the tang length you did? My vision is poor but it seemed like it was not a full tang?
Sleek! It looks like a giant straight razor and performs like one too! There's a vast difference between real Damascus and the cheap stuff you usually see. This has depth, like wood.
I've never even blacksmith but I can tell that billet is at the perfect temp for the wells to set right at the perfect point I love love love love love heating up metal
It turned out beautifully but one thing I'm not a fan of is that there's no machanical conection between the blade and the handle (peening, riveting, etc...) So it will likely serve better as a display item rather than a cutter. No discredit to the maker, absolutely stunning work and I love the pattern.
Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but when you use the hydraulic press. It is almost like you squeeze out impurities from the metal. The flakes that fall off from the sides. Am I a total moron for thinking this, or is it some kind of waste material from the steel ? What ever it is, it is very satisfying to watch 😊 The end result is breathtaking! Just a gorgeous work of art!
I'm mostly impressed with those freehand skills with that angle grinder. Those pyramids are spot on like it was made with a robot.
Don't be. It's just based of relentless practice. You can literally do almost anything if you put effort into it.
@@rickwilliams967that doesn’t mean that it’s not impressive
@@rickwilliams967 thats the point... everyone knows what it takes to be great... but there are a few who act upon this knowlege and MANY MANY who dont... thats why its impressive.
I'm sorry man, that's not a knife...that's a work of art!!
Never apologize for being right!
I will never use it for cutting, I’ll hang it on the wall on my saloon, or cheat a display case for it 😂😂😂😂
I agree with that for sure!
That is awesome! Love the pattern, I would love to own that piece of art.
Much appreciated and thank you for watching!

No music? Exactly.
The tinge on the blade just tied it all together. The handle, the Damascus, the work of art. What a knife!!!
Thanks much appreciated
Never have I ever wanted to be a blacksmith so much 🖤
Do it. I started with only 40 bucks in tools. A rail road track ( or any large bit of steel to forge on. Or even a tree stump) a pipe, a hair dryer and a bit of wood. Oh and an angle grinder makes things easier.
I can't think of words to appreciate the level of craftsmanship one of the best I've ever seen
I have literally hundreds of knife making videos, this is the best one I have ever seen!
That is BREATHTAKING. Artists like you and others that share your work are what keeps me holding onto what little hope I have
Thanks for watching

You sir are The Forged in Fire champion.
Your free hand skills are wild dude
That is a beautiful piece of steel. And I am happy to see someone actually use a whet stone to sharpen a blade
One of the best Damascus patterns I have ever seen.
wow the attention to detail and the craftsmanship of the knife is a work of art, the handle color is just amazing. This was a joy to watch!
Absolutely incredible. I've made knives and watched many be made. Hands down, this is the most extraordinary, skillfully executed, and gorgeous piece of art yet. You made advanced techniques look effortless. Kudos.
Thanks for watching!
Unreal! The hollow grind on the blade is very nice. I literally feel like I just finished watching a magic show. Thanks.
Out of hundreds of knife making channels...I consider this one the best.
That is spectacular. I don't know why I clicked, but so glad I did. In a world of awful, I'm encouraged by your.......words escape me. Just beautiful.
Thanks for watching
Every minute of that was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you! Fantastic talent and skill. Wish I had a knife like that.
Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe how amazing this knife is. It’s almost too good to be true.
A MASTERPIECE OF ART
Not a single word was spoken but it was poetry none the less
What a beautifully made peice! As a novice smith I hope with enough practice I am able to one day make stuff as beautiful as this peice! ❤
You can do it!
A real tradesman truly enjoys what they do,excellent work sir.

I really like how the pyramid Damascus came out. Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn 😮😶 absolutely perfect, square and clean in every single step of the process. And in the end, I mean, what can I say, i'm speechless😦 A piece of art. Magnificent beauty, absolute mastery and surety of taste
My mouth was open like half of this video in just awe! Gorgeous! ❤
I already have 2 Nikiri. I now need one more. Absolutely beautiful 😍
Gorgeous is a small word for this amazingly beautiful craftmanship
One of the coolest setups with a variety of tools I've ever seen. Love to see all that equipment put to use like that. Could make a simple knife but it's cool to see a lofty goal achieved with ease.
A REAL Craftsman at work, turning an element into a beautiful tool.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic work as always. Nobody draws out a tang quite a skillfully as you do.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, absolutely stunning. If ever there was a perfect knife.
Beautiful press work. Large billets aren’t easy to handle with such precision. And also that angle grinder and then belt grinding too. Just amazing. I’ve never seen this pattern before but it is amazing. And overall the blade is just a work of art. Great job bro.
You are an artist and that gorgeous blade is museum quality! 😍
Awesome knife! You sir are a master of your craft. Thanks for sharing.
There’s no words for this. Nothing less that a work of art. I wouldn’t want to use this knife for any reason
Are you kidding? As a chef I would be busting this out any time I could!
When I first saw that Damascus pattern it made my spine wriggle 😮 ❤ 😂 bloody brilliant ! 😊 beautiful work.
The process is amazing. And I've never seen anyone grind a diamond pattern into the metal before 😮. Absolutely beautiful blade and colorful handle as well
Gorgeous! What an amazing process, thank you for sharing. ❤
That's a beautiful Chefs knife,
Excellent workmanship!
Thank you very much!
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while
That was an exquisite piece of workmanship sir well done.
...cat litter quench & a pottery wheel polisher !?!?! ...it's more than just your blades that are genius bro... awesome work.
This man is creating Meitou-grade cutlery, it's amazing
Well done. The angle grinder work was incredibly impressivd.
There is something zen about watching knives being forged. enjoyed the video.
This is amazing work. My head just exploded. *Mind blown*
Thanks for watching
This is my first video of you I saw. Bro, this is something! You have a fan here🎉
The dream of owning a knife that beautiful.....Great work!
This video needs to be put in the museum of history
You are certainly top of your game - Awesome job!
Really nice work, brother! Thank you for sharing your art.
True craftsmanship.
Nice work!
Thank you very much!
Easily one of the most mesmerising things I've ever watched. I think I might have feelings for that knife.
what kind of feelings? ❤❤❤
@@SERGEANT_SYRAX complicated ones 😂

I do not know anything about forging but it is a beautiful knife. Would you mind sharing why you chose the tang length you did? My vision is poor but it seemed like it was not a full tang?
Long enough to fit most of the handle
All was beautiful, but im in love whith that handle, gorgeous work sir
Your skill produced a rather orgasmic looking damascus pattern!
Most beautiful knife I have ever seen!!!!! 😮 wow just wow
Amazing. Can someone explain to me the purpose of doing the diamond shaped cross cutting?
Yeah man, really excellent work. Gave me a ton of ideas.
Master Craftsman and Artist. Magnificent work.
That was gorgeous before you put a handle on it. The handle put it over the top, beautiful work of art.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful finished product, great skills.
Beautiful Damascus pattern! Wow!
What was the green stuff you applied before annealing?
Condursal Z1100 - anti-oxydation coating
Dang! That is a beautiful knife! I'm just curious, why did you draw the tang out like you did?
To save material
This was sooo soothing to watch! Thx!!!
What a unique and wonderful knive. It is truly beautiful
Greetings from Solingen. Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wie sagte schon Bud 1973. " ne Ansichtskarte aus Solingen" 😂
OMG-a truly amazing piece of art..
Sleek! It looks like a giant straight razor and performs like one too! There's a vast difference between real Damascus and the cheap stuff you usually see. This has depth, like wood.
Wow! That is amazing!! Great work!!
I was expecting cleaner pyramids to be honest. But as a person who knows nothing about this and could never imagine creating this. Solid knife.
Brother he did that with an angle grinder and a belt sander. That was cleaner than Michael hitting a moonwalk.
Absolutely Beautiful Knife, Great work 👍
Loving this series
Easily the nicest knife I’ve seen
One of the most beautiful Damascus pattern I have ever seen other than shark tooth Damascus
Gorgeous
Great craftsmanship
Ever considered making a custom palette knife like this? For a paint maker to use.. 🤗
I've never even blacksmith but I can tell that billet is at the perfect temp for the wells to set right at the perfect point I love love love love love heating up metal
Neat way to form a tang, beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic ! 😊
How does the step work from a uniform blade to the damascus pattern ?
That's really good! It's like art, love it!
Absolutely beautiful piece!!
Beautiful work. Amazing craftsmanship..
That knife is a masterpiece my friend.
The handle is rocking as well!!❤❤
What a talented man well done sir fancy teaching me always wanted to have a go
What is that liquid you dip the stack into before it goes into the heat? And why? Thanks in advance.
Diesel to help keep oxidation away from the steel before it's squeezed together
At minute 4 I had to check if I had accidentally rewinded to the beginning.
The croissant of knives
😂😂😂

Might be wrong but aren't traditional Japanese knives always hidden tang? Glue seems to work just fine for them
I don't care so much for the handle, but that blade is absolutely beautiful.
Im sorry if this is a stupid question, but when you use the hydraulic press.

It's like the crust on bread with heat it crisps up and the burnt edges flake off!
@@lewgriffinknives216 thank you for your answer and excellent metaphor 😀😁
Does it cut as good as it look though??
That is one heck of a pattern. Nicely done!
