    I have to be honest so many little nuances I noticed in here from being a general DIY guy, and having a family full of engineers and machinist raised my eyebrows. Last part got me where I thought he was going to go sort of symbol on the handle and then his true, efficiency of craftsmanship came out and made this knife absolutely stunning. Nice job dude, absolutely magic work! Hats off to you and you are a master soon as I hit Powerball you’re gonna get really busy.

    I'm sure some blacksmiths are going to loose their minds over this but unless you are putting the steel you are forging through the "Wootz" process, all you are doing is creating beautiful examples of pattern welding. These videos certainly do show the production of, sometimes, extraordinarily beautiful edged instruments.

      I think a lot of the time the knife is cut to shape and not hammered because they've already achieved the Damascus pattern they want and hammering it to shape would distort that. I could be wrong though

    Beautiful knife.
    Did you temper it?
    After quenching, you put it in the oven around 400° F for about 2 hours.
    This softens the steel so that it's not so brittle, and less likely to chip.
    After tempering, when you're grinding and/or polishing, you have to keep the metal from getting too hot. You frequently wet it. If it gets too hot, it would lose the quench entirely, and become soft again.
