Forging to shape is fine for mono steel but for a pattern welded steel the more grinding you do the more pattern you expose. Both are the right methods for their materials.
Love seeing creativity in cannisters. Lock washers are an interesting choice. There are so many possibilities to achieve unique patterns, even mosaics with a clever plan. New sub, looking forward to more. Keep going.
I think that is the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. I have the Internet, so obviously I’ve seen a lot of knives lol. Seriously though, it amazing.
The twist sounds interesting. I feel if i fold it it would just end up minimizing the patter just like when you stack and fold for pattern welded billets the more you fold the tighter and smaller the pattern gets.
No. If i feel its too long and thin ill put a board underneath it before i clamp it for extra support. If the knife is on the thicker side i do without the board.
@@JPsBladeworks that would be cool..i do really wondering to know if you combine all wastes into one blade with so much mosaics. I will waitin that video ✌️😂
I use an OBM 2x72 Grinder. Its definitely a bang for your buck. Its half the price of other brands and does the same thing. If you want to build one yourself id look into getting a revolution kit with house made. Ive wanted one but i dont have the space in my shop for another.
I like the way the coffee made everything blend together, especially how the patern in the steel matched the micarta in the handle. It made the handle very interesting to look at.
@manuelrubio1957 i do but i dont upload them onto my website often. If you have instagram you could hit me up if you want this one in particular we could work something out.
Glad this project worked out for you, and I assume when you said you were test-etching in muriatic you meant ferric! Personally, traditional random pattern has more appeal to me, but to each his own.
Yea i meant ferric. I caught it in the editing but decided to leave it in there for giggles. I like random as well but i really like to experiment and play with it
Looks great! Sometimes hard to keep that core centered with powdered steel jacket, I believe cause it moves easier under the press when forging. Hope you get your press fixed soon! 🔪❤️
Your commentary has vastly improved😊 I think your confidence level is awesome as well. I like that you love to challenge your skills! Im STILL dinking around with mono steel when i have time😂 Love your stuff Bro!!!
Hi! First of all, your knives are amazing! I really want to support your work, so as a graphic designer myself, I recommend that you work with a professional graphic designer on your logo. The current logo doesn't translate well onto metal surfaces like the knife. It seems it was designed with paper-based media in mind, which is why it's not quite effective on metallic surfaces. That´s all I have to say. I love what you do. 😊
It is a pretty hefty commitment. Even for me when i made mine and that was when materials where considerably cheaper than they are now. But it is great to have one around
That yellowish coating on them at the start is Cadmium plating. Being a toxic heavy metal, I hope that it was disposed of properly. (and honestly, you could probably just let it alloy in with the steel)
@@MarkATrombleyyeah, the majority is zinc based. And yes, mil-std still requires cadmium. Just like we were some of the only ones still using halon fire extinguisher bui’s hers on the flightline. Super nasty shit to mess with for sure!
Yeah, you shouldn’t of. Drove that many holes. It’s in the tang and that’s just gonna be way too easy to damage the tang and that’s hard to tell whenever inside my car and stuff so basically what could happen is you don’t realize what the tracking all the way through the tank from those holes and one day, you could swing it or chop something it breaks it flies back at you. What’s happened to me before knives like that and it’s not fun.
Yea a couple holes isnt going to do that plus its to small to use as a chopper. You might use it with a stick to club it but thats it. So i dont think there would be an issue
Curious I see a lot of UA-camrs who do blacksmithing and they always cut their shape out for the night they kind of defeats the purpose of forging don't you think I mean Forge that tip just saying
Your opinion is valid but thats a negative on my end. When i see forging is the right way to go i forge it. When stock removal is the best option i cut it out. Sometimes i cut then forge. The methods exist for a reason. My main reason is distortion of pattern.
Cool idea, but I really prefer to watch smiths actually forge out the blades rather than cut and grind the shape, 3/10 looks good, though.
🍪
Iv always been a fan on full tang on anything
Pin of shame for you.
I love that this got pinned
Forging to shape is fine for mono steel but for a pattern welded steel the more grinding you do the more pattern you expose. Both are the right methods for their materials.
As an old guy, it's great seeing what can be done with power tools. Beat-up old blacksmiths would *love* a power press and metal saws.
The press is a life saver. I couldnt do half the things i do without it.
Your work with that cannister was amazing I've never seen something like that before. And the pattern was great excellent job.
When you do as many canisters as i have you learn a trick or 2. It doesnt alway work out though 😅
I've never seen someone pinch the can open and pull the billet out. That was so cool to see. That's a beautiful knife and you are a craftsman ❤️
Thank you. I try to get it out as easily as i can. Its not always that smooth unfortunately but i will better the skill.
Yeah that was cool😊
Love seeing creativity in cannisters. Lock washers are an interesting choice. There are so many possibilities to achieve unique patterns, even mosaics with a clever plan. New sub, looking forward to more. Keep going.
Glad you liked it and i appreciate the support!
Wow that turned out gorgeous. That's the first time I've seen someone round out the can like that. Worked great.
Its all in the can prep.
Have you experimented with having the core wider than your pattern to make sure you don't have any crossover?
Ive never done it. It would be interesting to try as long as i only weld the ends of the billet so i dont get any weld on my cutting edge.
I was thinking about/wondering the same
I’m digging the contrast with the handle and pattern
Yea looks good
I think that is the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. I have the Internet, so obviously I’ve seen a lot of knives lol. Seriously though, it amazing.
Thank you
Wonder what this would look like if it were folded or twisted on itself before doing the insert?
The twist sounds interesting. I feel if i fold it it would just end up minimizing the patter just like when you stack and fold for pattern welded billets the more you fold the tighter and smaller the pattern gets.
@@JPsBladeworks I can see that being a concern, still a very well made and nice looking piece. I'd be proud to wear it on my hip and show it off.
I love how that one looks great colors and the core is awesome it turned out great. Keep up the great work 😎
Thanks
@@JPsBladeworks I can’t wait to see more of ur work buddy
Fun project. Using washers is an interesting idea in a canister. I've never tried it but I think I will now!
Go for it. If you need any tips dont hesitate to ask.
There are 1000s of cool things to try canisters Damascus with. Nails, screws, bolts, staples, sewing needle, fishing hooks the list is endless!
hmmm could ask / request for a knife made from all the offcuts you probably have laying around?
Ill be making one soonish
have you ever snapped a blade hand sanding since it isnt fully support in your jib?
No. If i feel its too long and thin ill put a board underneath it before i clamp it for extra support. If the knife is on the thicker side i do without the board.
Does anyone else just want a hydraulic press? No reason why you need it just want one i your garage just in case?
Its fun to squish things
Man you're quickly becoming one of the most talented smiths on UA-cam!
You know man i take that to heart because im super mid compared to some of the makers ive met. Thank you for the kind words.
the first pattern looks like alot of skull from handle to the blade and it looks so cool.
Thanks. Glad you liked it
I love that the sides aren't perfectly bookmarked.
It rarely is and if its possible to bookmark it i definitely don't have the skills to do that.
Did we can't use the westes of grinded/cutted billet to be another blade?
Im saving them to use for a grave yard damascus in the future.
@@JPsBladeworks that would be cool..i do really wondering to know if you combine all wastes into one blade with so much mosaics. I will waitin that video ✌️😂
Your work is stunning!
Thank you
What grade of steel are the washers? Are they made from high carbon steel?
Everything i saw while researching leads to some kind of medium carbon alloy.
Thank you.
What kind of belt grinder do you use? I want to get one or build one soon but don’t really know what brand or seller to go with.
I use an OBM 2x72 Grinder. Its definitely a bang for your buck. Its half the price of other brands and does the same thing. If you want to build one yourself id look into getting a revolution kit with house made. Ive wanted one but i dont have the space in my shop for another.
@@JPsBladeworks thanks that really does help
Wow, that turned out pretty fine blade!
Thanks
Which is the hardest type of steel to make a knife , sword etc ?
Not sure. All steels have their ups and downs. Straight ball bearings with no powder is really difficult. I havent been able to get that to work yet.
Nahh man?!!!! The knife 🔪 came out amazing, unique and beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
Thank you
I notice you don't scribe a center line for the bevel. why?
I do i just don't record it
I like the way the coffee made everything blend together, especially how the patern in the steel matched the micarta in the handle. It made the handle very interesting to look at.
Im a fan of coffee etch. I like the dark bold colors.
Gorgeous knife
Thank you
Beautiful finished product!
Thank you
Just found your channel tonight. What a beautiful blade. Strong work!
Thank you
I've seen people do cool mosaic damascus with dolphins, suns, and other stuff. Have you thought of doing that with your signature?
It's a thought. I want to get a 3d printer and do some canister with molds. I think that would be cool
Great!
Where can i get one of those?
No idea.
@@JPsBladeworks Do you sell your knives completed?
@manuelrubio1957 i do but i dont upload them onto my website often. If you have instagram you could hit me up if you want this one in particular we could work something out.
Nice pattern
Thank you
really love how it looks
Glad you liked it
Another great blade!
Thanks I appreciate it
The brass colored plating is cadmium plating. Great work.

Best explanation ever.
Glad you liked it
Very nice, great vid. Why do you spray wd 40 on it?
It helps with keeping the steel oxygen free and it burns away and leaves a thin layer of carbon. Its the same as dipping it in kerosene.
@@JPsBladeworks ok cool. Thanks
Turned out very nice.
Thank you
Well done.. Very nice.
thank you
Good job… Congractulations
Thank you
You went to Ace Hardware for those?
Tractor supply
That's awesome, as always. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for watching
Very cool knife my man
Thank you
Wow! Thats so cool! Ive always wanted to make a knife.
Go for it. Its a lot of fun!
Yeah I would but I don't have any equipment to do it.
Start small
Wow, love that knife, I’d spend good money on buying that. You’ve got yourself a sub!
Thanks i appreciate it
Beautiful knife. I love the pattern on the handle. Overall, I think it came out amazing. ~Kevin
Thanks Kevin
Awesome work 👍👏 100000/10
Thank you
Looks great! Sometimes hard to keep that core centered with powdered steel jacket, I believe cause it moves easier under the press when forging. Hope you get your press fixed soon! 🔪❤️
Hopefully i get the pieces i ordered this week.
I've seen couple of your work why is your center alignment always cruked
Because i suck
Your commentary has vastly improved😊 I think your confidence level is awesome as well. I like that you love to challenge your skills! Im STILL dinking around with mono steel when i have time😂 Love your stuff Bro!!!
Id do more monosteel myself but unfortunately it doesnt pull numbers on youtube. People like the wacky stuff. Thank you for the compliments.
Do you sell any of your knives?
Yes if they meet a certain standard ill sell it.
Looking great my dude, that's dope.
Thanks

Was that heat treated?
yes

Subscribed. Beautiful knife, love the handle too!
Thank you for the support
Awesome 😎 blade 👍👍
Thank you
13:08 first time seeing someone surprised by his own editing lol
I edit it all then i voice over while watching. Its hard to get everything that comes to mind in a timely manner 😅
Beautiful!
Thank you
That gold or brass coating was cadmium.
You lean something new everyday
I love the random canister builds JP 👍👍 keep on keepin on homie. How you enjoying this Florida heat bro 😎 it was vicious today
Nothin much to it. Just felt like the sun was trying to sear the skin off your bones. It gets good in August 🔥
Engineers will tell you that spring washers have exactly the opposite effect if you are looking for a locking feature. This is a good use for them.
We gotta use them somewhere 🫢
I want see you making Full metal Knife...please
Like a solid blade and handle from the same steel?
Yes
Ur knife it looking good
Thanks
Nice work, see you at Blade if you’ll be there.
Its not looking good for me going to Bladeshow this year but things could change.
@@JPsBladeworks well if you make it I’ll be at 19J. Hope it works out for ya.
If im there ill pass by
Soab that’s nice
Great damn job ❤
Thanks
Man I wish I could afford a press, doing it by hand is so hard/tiring
It is a pretty hefty commitment. Even for me when i made mine and that was when materials where considerably cheaper than they are now. But it is great to have one around
Very nice Wow 😎👍💯
Thank you
That yellowish coating on them at the start is Cadmium plating. Being a toxic heavy metal, I hope that it was disposed of properly. (and honestly, you could probably just let it alloy in with the steel)
What would happen if i dont strip it off. I would probably just burn off in the forge i would think. Except i dont think i should be near those fumes.
@@JPsBladeworks yeah, probably would burn off if it finds any oxygen and that's defnitely no bueno.
I believe they switched to zinc chromate for all but military use. Still something you want to strip off.
@@MarkATrombleyyeah, the majority is zinc based. And yes, mil-std still requires cadmium. Just like we were some of the only ones still using halon fire extinguisher bui’s hers on the flightline. Super nasty shit to mess with for sure!

It made me bleed.
@@JPsBladeworks you are the Forged in Fire Champion!
Looks like cadmium coating.
Whats that?
Nice.
Thank you
Good video but FYI those are actually spring washers
my reciept said lock washers and so did the little box they were in
Looks like camouflage
I can see that
Оборудование хорошее, материалы хорошие, работа хорошая! Нож - жабокол говённый.
I'd be more impressed if you Made Lock Washers From A Knife.
Just sayin', but still, nice work. ; )
Dont temp me with a good time
spring washers
They have many names

That's the easiest I've ever seen a canister just slip off...

Good thing im not trying to impress you bud.
زیباست اما خوب یکدست تیز نشد از صدا متوجهش شدم
😅
It's zinc plating, not gold or brass.
I was referring to the color. If it was gold, i would be doing other things with it
Гровер-шайбы, сталь 65Г.
That $9000 worth of washers to the US Government.
Probably more if we are being honest.
I think it's purdy.
