I can't believe it's turning out so flawlessly with scale and everything else on it. Maybe they skipped it, but welding those plates together while rusted and having this come together shows that they are true true masters. I was just waiting for a big duck lip when he put that in the press. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Blacksmithing is the most ancient, most important profession ever . The Master Craftsman demonstrated his skills, knowledge, expertise, abilities, dedication, integrity, honesty, determination, courage, patience, and , most importantly, attention to minute details.
@Cobber390 as a blacksmith, agreed. Before I became a blacksmith (novice) I was a flint knapper. I made many knives, arrowheads, and other tools from stone using only bone or copper tools. Man kind has been around fir a long long time, and processing iron is a relatively recent discovery.
As others stated blacksmithing isn’t a very old profession. There’s several that clearly came along before blacksmithing. That said there are skills or professions that are linked to blacksmithing that could easily be considered to be just as old as say prostitution. Humanities desire to procreate and to kill are equally as old as eachother as well as the professions that go along with those desires, wants and needs.
i was in awe watching him work 2 billets and a knife blank at the same time, THEN he sets up like a dozen billets lol. madddd skills. great video. thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Wonderful, a true master of his craft. That’s how you forge a blade, you don’t make a billet and then grind it to shape, you hammer it to shape, and all that hard work , nothing goes to waste, small pieces of the billet get used for something else. Bravo Thank you for showing us your beautiful work
I've never seen a blade unharmed cutting steel nor ever thought I would ever see a master forge, and create such blades. Makes me feel fortunate, thank you for such a fine post.
Keyboard Craftsman are Abundant!… 😂 Sir, Your work is mesmerizing to watch, Love the box you built for the Belt Grinder! The finished products speak for themselves, you Love Your Creations.. Thanks for Sharing this.. Much Appreciation!!
Кому интересно, мастера зовут Ким Чон Сик (김정식). Ему на текущий момент 61 год, родился в семье кузнеца, с раннего детства помогал ему в работе. Довольно известен в Корее, специализируется в изготовлении кухонных ножей из высокоуглеродистых и нержавеющих пакетов стали (сварочный дамаск). Клеймо на этом клинке: 대박김씨공방.
@@MichaelEgan66 I put this comment in Russian, so it was automatically translated into English with GT as per your locale. Yep, in English 'Ким Чон Сик' will be Kim Jeong Sik.
@sekishuusaiyagyuu7517 You know, I wondered if that's what happened. I hope you know that I was just trying to help and not trying to be a jerk. I'm an older, disabled, ex-world traveler and totally understand language translation problems. 🙏
The look on this man's face is the look of a master craftsman who enjoys and puts great care in to his work, like a martial arts master who is always smiling because he knows he could defeat anyone in the room but is humble.
@22:40 when you were hammering the edge and all the bevelles, yet a little bit further on didnt have, you resharpened, i was crying as that damage to a masterpiece.
I wanted to fast forward this video to see the outcome of this sword. So glad I didn't. I got to see you work your magic on this sword. You are a MASTER SWORDSMAN!
I find it hard to believe that Korea's greatest sword master does not know the value of thoroughly cleaning both sides of each piece of metal before welding the pieces together. This is the first thing any apprentice learns on his first week in a knife-making shop. Any scale, dirt, oxidation etc. left in between the pieces of metal ruins the weld, period.
Nice work. I too am a professional bladesmith. It is very hard work indeed. This gentleman uses some different tools and processes but this is mostly "Western" forging techniques he is using. I'm always interested in other bladesmith's tooling and techniques. There's always more to learn...
@@jl7294 Stack the steel and wrap with wire to hold it together, then with rice paper and dipped in clay, or wet muddy straw for carbon and fluxing (instead of borax, as used here).
Hey mate Love your work A question when you stacked at the start I could still see some rust on the steel plates Do you worry about today or not ??? I've been told to always clean the faces before forging !?
한반도 국가는 우수한 철 공급이 가능해 아주 오랜 시절부터 주변국이나 부족에 수출 조공 선물등으로 검을 주기도 하였고 그 우수성은 고구려 중기 이후로 철기군 양성이 복격화 되면서 아시아 최강의 반열에 올랐습니다 백제의 많은 문화나 무기등이 일본으로 전파 되었으며 이후 카타나등 일본도의 발전 및 제작에 많은 영향이 되었지요 한반도는 조선이 들어서고 무기중 활이 지배적 영향에 들었지만 긴 세월 강철검의 강국이였습니다
Love watching these videos. But I’m also 100% confident being put into a shop with all those tools I could make Damascus the first try. Anyone in Orange County who thinks it’s not possible open up your forge for a day and a let bro blow your mind 🤣🤣
I’m super interested in learning , from what I’ve gathered so far I was under the impression that you had to clean each layer before welding. Anyone who knows , does it really matter if you clean them or not?
at 10:20 he throws a twisted damascus bar, a flat damascus bar and what looks like a water-jet or plazma cut knife blank in the forge. anyone else notice the knife blank? i know alot of smiths use them because its faster then forging one from scratch. but, seems more mass produced.
Rust is just oxidization. Did temperature combine with the borax easily removes it. Although 1000 armchair, blacksmiths will tell you that you’re still must be perfectly clean polished is best🤷♂️
Imagine without machines or controlled heat and an automatic sand belt? this was amazing but now i crave to see how they did this in the Medieval ages 800AD type blacksmithing! soo curious.. i guess i wanna see a dinosaur too hah IN MY DREAMz!
Nice blend of Eastern and Western blacksmitthing skill and tools. Wish they didn't add music to the video, it's annoying and loud compared to the rest of the sounds.
This is what I find amazing. Every bladesmith in the u.s. of a. Says your steel has to be impeccably clean in order for it to weld properly. LMAO this master smith assembled all of that billet with absolutely no cleaning whatsoever. So who’s right?
How much force does the automatic hammer have? What’s it equivalent to? Is it like a man swinging a 10,30 or more pound sledge hammer? Someone should have insights here!

I seem to have a lot of questions. Does the twisting help integrate the steel? Like folding? You make such a simple task look so difficult…wait a minute. That didn’t come out like I wanted. 😎

He literally made a billet, and ground it to shape. His preform was barely knife shaped to begin with. May as well have just started with bar stock.
I've never seen a blade unharmed cutting steel nor ever thought I would ever see a master forge, and create such blades.
Makes me feel fortunate, thank you for such a fine post.
It was soft mild steel he cut with hardened steel 😂

와.. 대박이네요..
That was great to see! Thank you!!

where in Korea is this guys shop....looks like i need to plan a vacation and do some shopping!

Amazing Result! What is that white powder??
all were master craftsmen but i think the saw maker was the best.

This knife looks amazing and the job behind this piece of art is perfect. But because it's so hard and sharp, int it also verry brittle? 😮
Keyboard swordmasters have entered the chat.
What kind of steel plates is he stacking at the beginning?
Is the single insert near the end a high carbon steel to keep the edge sharp?
Baja premium,besinikel,molibdenum..disealang seling ❤
The skill is obvious and saying experts isn't enough to describe them.
9:27 so cool to see

Is the twisting just for appearance or to squeeze out all impurities and make sure elements are well mingled??
It’s mostly for aesthetics with modern steel that already has low impurities
I dont think a day goes by in my life where I dont dream about having a career as an artisan.

Korea please?
I’m super interested in learning , from what I’ve gathered so far I was under the impression that you had to clean each layer before welding. Anyone who knows , does it really matter if you clean them or not?
HI COOOOOL video! Could You please tell me, why he didnt clean the rust of the metal before he welded ...??
주인장이 와서 알려드릴거긴 하지만 가장 큰 이유는 그럴 필요가 없기 때문이라고 봐요.
Damascus twist, San mai, etc. I'm already lost.
The KAtana looksnice but is it a real Katana or just a knife?
지금에서야 프레스기로 하지만 ...조선시대떄는 ..어우 ..망치로 일일히 ..선조들이 대단하다

wait whaaat...? he layers and then twists, cuts that in half to layer one more metal in between?! 🤯
الو سلام ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
영상만봐도 정성이 매우 많이들어가있다는것을 느낄정도다.다른 사람들은 형식적으로 만들어 눈앞어서는 잘베어지지만 쇠가 약해 금방 날이 무뎌지거나 칼 모양이 싸구려티가 나는경우도 많다.이곳은 차원이 달라보인다.
Curious to understand why he alternates the oxidised / non-oxidised plates to start with?
Would loved to have links to each company.
진짜 궁금한건데요 철 판을 용접할때 해외 영상보면 녹을 다 제거하고 용접하고 시작하는데 녹제거를 굳이 할 필요가 없는건가요??
녹은..
What's the white "powder" he's putting on the metal???
at 10:20 he throws a twisted damascus bar, a flat damascus bar and what looks like a water-jet or plazma cut knife blank in the forge. anyone else notice the knife blank? i know alot of smiths use them because its faster then forging one from scratch. but, seems more mass produced.
👍
cooles video ... was ist das fuer ein soundtrack?
Noticed that the layer of metal used were slightly rusted while he layers the billet. The rust goes away with the high temperatures?
I saw that 2. No I dont think it does go away. Maybe with such thin layers its not an issue?...but I would think it is.
The white powder is borax, that cleans the metal.
Rust is just oxidization. Did temperature combine with the borax easily removes it. Although 1000 armchair, blacksmiths will tell you that you’re still must be perfectly clean polished is best🤷♂️
Sorry silly question
Must have been the edit
You clean latter on
Do you do much tatical ?
В России да и в других странах мира много таких величайших мастеров.

so let me get this you are using a hydraulic press right? Right! ...so what was the purpose of hitting it with hammer at the beginning?
whats the white powder he sprinkles on it?
borax powder
Where, or how does one get a hold of one of his blades?

Neither twisting, nor folding...is necessary in today's world with our superior steels. It's all for aesthetic purpose. No more or less.
