Thanks for putting the time, effort and money into showing how layer count can dramatically change the overall look of a blade. I personally like the bold look of low layer counts but several patterns don’t work with low counts. I’ve seen several of your videos but this one made me subscribe. Thanks
@@MartinHuber_Knives Absolutley! Im working aon getting some stuff from your store. Hope it will be here by Christmas. Long haul to the US. but it will be worth it!
Well, DAMN SON, there were so many layers to this video. 😂 I thought I’d fold before getting to the end…not really. Thanks for making the effort to inform and entertain. It’s always fun to see another video from you.
@@MartinHuber_Knives I do not enjoy 10 a day, 2 is my max, unless I somehow missed a deep scratch then absolutely loose my shit when I find it at 400 or higher grit 😂😂
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I loved watching this video, and my favorite by far is the 100 layers. The lines from the layers are not too small, so they can be seen very well.
yo loved the techstep at 14:00. the dad rock is fine but some Mefjus or Phace really hits in a video like this. loved the liquid dnb in the outro too ❤
Thank you for everything that you do, I'm very visual and every video explains a lot a lot. Visualizing the process is very meaningful, having the right information.
Which one was your favorite? The 100 looks super cool. The 200 looks very nice as well. The 50 isn't very striking by itself, but might turn out really cool with a pattern like twist. I do like that you did the 25, just so we can see what that actually looks like!
Loved the video! would have been cool to see a 25, 50, 100, 200, 1000, 5000 layer video then you get nice chattoyance in the steel, but it would require a hell of a lot more work as well. Keep it up guys!
Damn son... Love it. Remaining 200 layer bar has enough for a ton of knives. But, I say forge it down a bit, pattern it, then slice it up as cladding. Throw in a nice solid black core and some nickel sheet and make a chef set out of it. 10 inch gyuto, 6.5 inch petty, and a 3.5 inch paring knife. Then make a magnetic display stand. Then put it in the mail and send it to me. And I'll let you know how you did. lol.
You should make some kiridashi marking knives out of the remaining billet. Because they are small you could make a few and more viewers will be able to have access to some of your fine craftsmanship.
Very informative, that’s the first time I’ve seen someone do a side by side comparison of different layer counts from the same billet. I would however like to see more knife makers use clear material for the handles. Why go through all that trouble to make a beautiful patterned knife and hide half of it? And with glue and screws, those handles are there to stay!
Thank ya, i never seen one straight like this with finished knives so i had to do it :) I made a few clear epoxy + wood handles a few years ago. maybe i'll give it another shot :D
Great video! Will be watching this again when I'm ready to try my first Damascus. Right now I'm still building my first forges! Gonna do a propane and a coal style.
@@MartinHuber_Knives duly noted, I appreciate the hint. Just for cleanliness alone I'll probably stick more to the propane, the coal one is just for larger projects, until I can build a bigger gas forge. Thanks again!
I love the lets get started format for this one. Do a Deba I've not seen anyone else do something even close . For smaller bones just under your hog splitter perhaps. I don't think most people who don't have a power hammer know just how gentle you can strike. Oh well that's my thoughts...🤣 Thank you for the content.Oh yeah DAMN SON........
Alle vier Messer sind richtig schön geworden, aber das mit 100 Lagen find ich persönlich am besten, die 50 Lagen sind etwas zu grob und die 200 Lagen sind stellenweise ( richtung Schneide) zu fein als das sie richtig zur Geltung kommen. Wenn ich mal das nötige Kleingeld übrig hab bestell ich mir mal nen fetzen Damast bei dir, hab da schon ein Messer im Kopf das ich damit bauen will. Muss aber noch n bissl Kohle zusammen kratzen, das wird was größeres.😁
would you recommend trying a Damascus blade for a first time forge piece, I am making a gutting/skinning knife for whitetail deer, the handle is a shed a i found so i am doing a hidden tang, I really want to make the entire thing myself and have learned a lot watching these videos, but i am sure mistakes can easily be made.
Damn son, nice to see the different looks side by side. Are there any other differences beside look? Maybe better durability or flexibility when using more layers? A similar format for different stylesof damascus would be cool like feather and mosaic?😊
Mosaic is a big name for just a Pattern manipulation, there is, litterally, MILLIONS of different styles of mosaic. But i have a plan of doing a Feather damascus babe soon!
Damn dude! How much time did you spend making those knives? Also is there any way I can buy one? They are so beautiful! I’m kinda iffy on buying them online because there are so many knock off that just fake the steel and use a design. Awesome video man! This is truly an art!
Did you know, that only the japanese and the arabs in the city of damascus did have the knowledge and the expertise to make damascus, thats why this kind of steel is called that way (Duh!!!). And real damascus has to be folded and not stacked. the japanese folded their katanas like a gajillion time to make them SUPERSTRONK. and also: regardless of how bad the initial steels are, damascus has the magical ability to make the perfect blades. they are sharp forever, no matter how the knife is abused. No matter the needed property, damascus has it!!!
I'd call easy something else. Whole project took nearly 4.5 days xD + the leathersheaths cost me a load of money If i'd do my regular knifemaking job, i'd make way more :'D
Thanks for watching Guys! I really appreciate you all! 🙌

Great job man. Keep up the content; I'm always interested in the details.

Thanks for doing this. You never know how drastic the differences are until you see them side by side.
Exaxtly!!
Am I the only weirdo that loves the hand sanding? The entire knife-making process is very meditative for me.
1 blade? Sure....but 10 a day... F**** no.
but if you love it and wanna do it daily call me xD
I actually really enjoy it as well
@@MartinHuber_Knives I do not enjoy 10 a day, 2 is my max, unless I somehow missed a deep scratch then absolutely loose my shit when I find it at 400 or higher grit 😂😂

100 ist meiner :)
Nice video! Regards from Mexico!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for explaining in detail.
Sure thing man, thanks for watching

man i wish i could play some Camo&Krooked or Mefjus (or their songa together)
But thw rights to these aongs cost more than i make a month on YT..
Nice work as always 👍👍
thanks!
loving the videos guys always waiting for he next one
Thanks man
Fantastic Viking Work.
haha 🙌🏻😄
Haha i laughed at the texas time, great blades! Look forward to more
Haha 😄
Gelungenes Video! Ich bin immer wieder neidisch, wenn ich sehe, wie schnell das ausrecken mit dem Lufthammer gehen kann. 💪🏻

This is a cool project idea! It sounds a ton of work but thank you for doing it FOR SCIENCE!

Thank you for everything that you do, I'm very visual and every video explains a lot a lot.

Yeah me too!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I too share your “love” of hand sanding. Much love for the amazing video and beautiful blades. Thanks!
Its the "best" am i right??
Thank you :)
Interesting to see the side by side comparison, the sweet spot for me is definitely somewhere between 120 and 250 layers. Nice work man.
Thank you Sir! :)
i love the dirt grunge tunes dude you are !!!!!
so i am "!!!!" 😄👍🏻

With the 25 i was actually pretty curious myself 😄😄
Can you make a fishbone damascus I've been trying to learn how to make it but youtube doesn't have any videos related to it. Keep up the good work ❤
easy! :D
@MartinHuber_Knives much love ❤
Damn son, danke für den Vergleich! Jede Lagenanzahl hat einen eigenen Charakter, sehr cool.
Aus dem Rest vielleicht einen Turkish Twist Dagger…
Klingt azch interessant ;)

1000+ layers you wont see anything anymore :)

so you do the "beginner mistakes" at some non-expencive pieces

possible 🤔🤔
@@MartinHuber_Knives nichts ist unmöglich, Toyota 😂😂
All I have is a 25 pound little giant hammer would that be good enough to try and make Damascus?

Just make smaller billets

hehehe yeaaah!! 🤟🏻
make a Damascus steal folding knife or cleaver or just a regular kitchen knife
maybe!

You gotta take that 200 layer billet and keep restacking it until you have a 6400 layer billet.
haha why exactly 6400?

Heck yeah!!! My Man!!
Would you be willing to help me learn how to do this stuff
