    Nice work beautiful knife. One little word of caution when belt sanding and grinding maybe roll up your sleeves or button the cuffs all it take is a split second and you now have a broken wrist or worse. I know it will hurt like hell . Always remember SHOP SAFETY

    No surgery rite now but I will after they get my heart straightened out then scopes on both ends and she explained the hole to me it's caused by inclination and my large and small intestine have kind of healed together and there is a hole connecting them

    How’s that forge you built doing? Did you end up having to take it back apart and seal it with mortar? I’m about to build another, almost exactly like that one but a ribbon burner

    Man that thing is gorgeous. Question, is the nickel pure nickel? I love how it put that distinct line between the other 2 steels. I'm assuming the outside blocks were Damascus....I couldn't see what you wrote on it.

    • @FireCreekForge

      Thanks! I got a couple wobbles during forging that put it a little close to the edge, but as the core runs up the entire width I'm not worried about it.

    @arianyari3329 4 роки тому

    you a great work shop , however the Damascus you just made is not folded on itself at all all you have done is hot welded some steel together .... i though the quality and beauty of Damascus steel was in the number of folds on the blade to make the steel tougher and sharper ......

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  4 роки тому

      The edge is mono steel on this knife anyway, however the term Damascus isn't referring to historical damascus steel, but pattern welded steel as it has been in the knife industry for quite some time now.. Thanks for watching!

    What with and how do you coat the knife handle ?

    • @FireCreekForge
      @FireCreekForge  4 роки тому

      That is Watco brand Danish oil, clear/ natural color. Heavy application to allow the wood to absorb, wipe off excess after an hour or so.
