For people ,who have never forged a blade in their life, and are just users'collectors. Guys, this is how you properly make a knife! I've seen both in person and on UA-cam videos, some of the best makers in the world. So,it's not just my opinion from my personal experience and knowledge, I've seen and I've spoken with hundreds of makers.
Do not get excited, with all that marketing nowdays, which makes you believe, that a good knife, is one made of the highest technology power metallurgy steel. It's what this makers does, that makes a perfect knife!!!
Those details, like the amount of water he uses while grinding to avoid overheating the steel and so many other details, are what maters the most. Geometry and heat treatment, are also more important, than steel itself is.
In the same time, I bet his blades, hold their edge as a Vanadis 4 Extra does, while in the same time, they have some of the best, if not THE best edge stabiliity you can have on a blade.
Your son is adorable brother…. You have been truly blessed!!!
I like the fact that blacksmiths have technical terms like 'Goo.' As a geologist I once described the vein we were looking at as 'squiggly' and was asked if that was a true geological term. I assured the investor that it was. 😂
Yes sir, this is important to the respective trade ...
(to @rockbutcher) As an engineer, (civil) who worked in gold and silver mines, I also chided the geologists (irreverently referred to as "pebble fairies") for making predictions about minerals drilled out hundreds of feet below surface. And then, even more mysterious are the geologists who expound about Martian geology and even geology of other stars and planets. I mean, how TF do they do that?
@@slichens1927 You sure sound like one. There's a reason why after 32 years in the industry there are only 5 mining engineers that I will allow to sit with me in my fishing boat. Go find, delineate and then define your own orebody Champ.
@@rockbutcher AWW c'mon RB. I was just tryin' to make a bit o fun (at your expense, of course). You sure you haven't got a rock hammer in your, uh, back pocket today?
I had an MRI on my back and had two vertabrae
out of alignment.
I told my PCP I had two vertebrae out of whack.
He asked if that was a medical term and I told
him it could be.
Every time they do canister Damascus on "Forged in Fire" I'm always marveling that nobody takes the can and puts it on top of any machine that vibrates, so as to get the powder to settle. But bringing the sawzall to the cannister? Next level!!!!
Also works for getting air out of a concrete pour.... FYI .
Hopefully you never ever have to pour the devil's diarrhea, but if you do here's a good way to get the air out of it. 👍👍
We became big fans of forging from watching Forged in Fire - and now search out the topis on UA-cam. Just found your channel. That feather pattern damascus is amazing and my husband now wants a "steak knife" made with that pattern. Will keep an eye on your website for something suitable!
Looks pretty darn awesome to me!
Thanks man!
The most plain working knife you will ever see BUT with the most awsome pattern in a blade,wen I say plain workin knife,…. It’s a nice length for ya belt or boot,nothing fancy bout the handle shape or blade shape BUT that feather pattern turned Cinderella into a princess👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I applaud you for blocking the welding brightness. Others just shadow and add a greenish filter over it.
Very cool final result!!
Phenomenal result - that feather pattern turned out really nice! Well done, brother.
Thanks!!
Pretty dang good looking knife
Outstanding masterpiece...
Dam nice demacus this pattern is unique !
That's just stunning. It's not an overly elaborate knife, but that's part of it's beauty. Sweet lines, clean curves, great proportions, and that stunning blade. Yikes. Really nice.
Wow! Truly epic! Your "accident" worked out amazingly well! I really live the way the pattern turned out! Thanks for taking us along on your learning experience. As always another great piece!
That was a great idea using ball bearings, I never tried using them for feather damascus. Very impressive once again. Thanks.
Thank you for the video and God bless your soon!... Hugs from Lisbon.
Beautiful work and craftsmanship
That Desert Ironwood is beautiful
JUST BEAUTIFUL
True craftsman
Man that’s a stunning blade
I love that knife!
That turned out wayyyy cooler then i was expecting man that is gor-jus!!!
Glad you like it!
Great work again. Thanks a lot for covering up the welding light! Highly appreciated.
That is a beauty! Love how the pattern comes over the spine.
That was a beautiful feather pattern. Pretty darn good for your first time!
You do what I want to do it's amazing!
That is super beautiful
That's really beautiful in a strange and different kind of way!!!!
Beautiful work
That's the most fancy simple hardy looking knife I've ever seen
Always great to watch you work
Your voice over and explanation s are spot on
Just an FYI, when you added the saw, the weld you did was very nicely done. So don't sell your welding skills short.
Outstanding! Looks like opposing waterfalls. Tutorial was spot on.
Love the way this feather pattern came out, one of the most attractive I've seen. Great work!
Incredible job
hello little person and mrs firecreek forge.
getting started early is definitely the way to start forging .
I have to say right now that is the most effective and attractive feather damascus I have ever seen, its awesome..
That is a beautiful pattern.
Wow that turned out to be stunning. Love the pattern. Thanks.
That turned out super cool. Far different from many other feather patterns I've seen. I really like the thick bands between the feathers. Nice work!
Thanks!!
A good bit of my childhood was spent in my dad's shop and it was always a good day when I managed to find a ball bearing on the floor. They were a rare find and seemed to provide endless amounts of fun. Maybe your kid is going to have similarly fond memories of ball bearings :)
Next time get a forklift tine from the scrapyard, the tool is basically built already by just cutting off the tip to use it and it’s gonna be something like 4140 tool steel
Beautiful knife
That's a really nice pattern for a double-edge dagger or sword!!
I can't believe how easy the cans come off! Such a good way to do it.
Mighty fine, sir! I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your techniques and "learning experiences" Selfishly I'm sorry the bloodwood cracked, that's my favorite handle material and I was looking forward to learning how you finish yours.
Thanks for the excellent editing as well sharing your experiences with this method with us!
Perfectly made, perfect desing for use, great looks, can't get any better!!!
Gorgeous blade. Well done!
Easily the most beautiful Damascus you have made so far imo
Stunning work! I love to watch you work magic with steel.
you make a magic here man! congratulation for working!
4:00 check out the radiant heat melting the sap on the side of that log.
Great, or should I say, beautiful pattern! You have a matched talent of smithing and commenting while you do these projects. Very informational and entertaining! Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work. From what I see of your family, you a very blessed, reminds me of forty odd years ago on my farm. Thanks again.
Rick
That's a cool one
I love it
That came out awesome. Enjoy your videos and commentary explaining what we are watching.
That turned out phenomenal. Would love to see it attempted on a bigger blade
I feel like the addition of the bandsaw blade steel was a fortunate accident. Made the feather even more distinct.
It did turn out in the end, thanks for watching!
FANTASTIC looking blade! Amazing craftsmanship as always!!
beautiful knife
Bro your beard is majestic... your blades are even better.
thank you sir
Wow! The pattern is beautiful.
I really appreciate your voice-over giving details/explanations of what we're seeing (I don't really know much about forging but am very interested in it). Great videos, thanks man!
Very cool patern...
That's probably the nicest looking blade I've ever seen!
Thanks!!
That turned out BEAUTIFUL!
I really enjoy your videos and I'm a fan of your work. I'll snag one of your knives some day.
Thank you sir
Lovely work!
I like that "iron sharpens iron" shirt. 🙂 Nice knife, too.
That knife turned out spectacular!
Came out awesome.

I miss seeing action in the top of knife. An endent or artistic curve.
Love your channel

1 small problem, it’s just to pretty to use. The kids are why we do what we do. Most important thing that you will do & the most difficult.
Thank You Sir
Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely stunning knife sir! The simple appearance really belies how complex it is.
That sir, is a thing of beauty.
Beautiful knife! Real masterpiece!
Good work….. congrats from Germany 🇩🇪 🎉
It turned out great
Beautiful work and awesome job like always! And again its completely different than any other feather pattern out there
At 4:00 you can see how hot the blanks are even tho they're at least a foot or better away from the log. Pretty cool
Beautiful!
As per usual I am hopelessly enthralled by this dedication to the craft, awesome brother
Love the voice overs. I would rather hear what you observe and your ideas as you work at it, and you have a good voice for it.
Beautiful
I am in complete awe.
Looks Great!
