Feather Damascus With Inverted Tang (Drawings of Forging Steps)

Hey guys!
Today's video will demonstrate the making of a Gaucho knife with an inverted tang in the feather pattern. The handle was made from fossilized mammoth teeth.
This time I added some drawings during the forging of the steel to make it easier for laymen to understand and help other cutlers who want to understand the pattern. (I ask anyone who liked the idea to comment so I know if it's worth continuing to do this.)
In my opinion, this pattern and its variations are the most difficult to execute, and the most beautiful to see.
This model was the idea of ​​my teacher, from whom I learned a good part of what I know about cutlery, I just replicated it by adding my own characteristics. It is a very robust piece that requires little material other than the steel itself. I know I haven't gone into much detail, but little by little I must create the tools that make this easier.
Thank you very much for watching! I would appreciate it if you could leave a like!
Buenas, pessoal!
O vídeo de hoje demonstrará a confecção de uma faca gaúcha com espiga invertida no padrão pluma. A empunhadura foi feita com dente de mamute fossilizado.
Dessa vez acrescentei alguns desenhos durante o forjamento do aço para facilitar o entendimento dos leigos e ajudar outros cuteleiros que queiram entender o padrão. (Peço a quem gostou da ideia que comente para que eu saiba se vale a pena continuar fazendo isso.)
A meu ver esse padrão e suas variações são os mais difíceis de serem executados, e os mais belos de se ver.
Esse modelo foi ideia do meu professor, com quem aprendi boa parte do que sei sobre cutelaria, eu apenas replico adicionando características minhas. É uma peça de constituição muito robusta e que exige pouca quantidade de material além do próprio aço. Sei que não forjei muito detalhadamente, mas aos poucos devo criar as ferramentas que facilitam isso.
Muito obrigado por assistir! Agradeço se puder deixar seu like!

Thank you for your work, as an 83 year old you make me jealous that I would have loved to do this “art work”, you have great skill and love in what you do are doing, congratulations sir!

[@darilynkrupp6309]

That is an exquisite knife! The beauty of the pattern all down the tang makes it even better. The work is mesmerizing and obviously tedious and time/labor intensive and the finished piece honors that.

I’ve been trying to use my forge today and have to come up with a better anvil/ anvil height. That and figure out a way to hammer more… this isn’t the best hobby to start with lower spine injuries. Maybe once I finish my belt grinder I can do more. I just need a platen and to finish wiring it up. I may just have to find blanks and build from that instead of trying to do the forging. Beautiful work!

[@cutelariaharpia]

Thank you very much!
As for the spine, it's really complicated. I already have some problems that bother me...
I recently started exercising again, and it has helped a lot. Swimming is a good practice for this.

Hello. Good day to you. You did a great job. What liquid did you use in the tube to make the blade emboss the pattern? Is that engine oil/Lubricant? Thank you

[@cutelariaharpia]

Hi! I've used ferric chloride, and later manganese phosphate.

[@DJSolitone]

Very beautiful knife. Love the etched handle. Don’t you do any heat treatment after quenching ? Isn't the blade become too brittle without it ?

[@cutelariaharpia]

Thank you friend!
Yes, I do other heat treatment steps, I just don't show them in the video...

[@helmiizhamharunarashid3416]

very nice.. I thought inverted tang was like the tang placed in line with the bottom leading edge of the knife, so how's that going to work.. turned out you wanted to show the same feather patterns on the side.. brilliant job, this.

[@georgebusby6466]

Let me ask a question, what is the little skinny slivers of metal that f falls off the bi!!st as it is passed through the press and occasionally from the billet as you hammer out the shape of tbe blade called and is there a use for them?

Please forgive me, sometimes I lose track of what finger is hitting what touch-key on my keyboard. Any spelling mistakes are typographical errors on my part and not intended to disagree with anyone. TYVM.

[@cutelariaharpia]

These are small pieces of iron oxide and borax that break off during forging.
As far as I know, there is no use for this other than recycling.

[@georgebusby6466]

@@cutelariaharpia Recycling is a use, providing you mean putting them together with other fragments of various metals and forming another billet. That is an environmentally positive use of that substance.
