A completely awesome piece. From the fit and finish of the handle. To the ground fuller/tip work. To that Damascus pattern on the blade. Well done to all involved in making such an awesome and efficiently functional work of art.

amazing work gentlemen keep repping for 520!¡! Love the ivory and brass perfect contrast. Can’t wait to see some more forging’s of your own! Also that stainless clad looked crazy… props on pulling that off, it is a well known pain

bang on job. Is there a video of the billet being forged?
@krissteel40745 ай бұрын
Certainly a very special billet that he made for you to grind a sword out of. You did excellent work on this one for sure as anyone who's put fullers in can appreciate just how awful it is!

Hello, beautiful knife. Thank-you for doing the video. Question…what were you using to stick your sanding disks on the plate. People recommend 3M feathering compound but that is no longer available.
@scherlfirearts71425 ай бұрын
Super 77 from 3M is something I use for my disc sanders.
@DonNguyenKnives5 ай бұрын
Unfortunately I was in the same dreadful pain, trying to find more feathering adhesive. Imo I didn't like any sprays I used so far. I'm using 'Tack-It Over and Over' and it works... okay. Slightly less strong than Feathering, easier to clean though, you can rejuvenate it with alcohol, and it's MUCH more affordable. More susceptible to water though.

@@craigmcinnis8750 it works by spraying it on the sanding sheets and leaving it to "dry". After that just apply to the sander. Works great and leaves little to no residue and is easily removable 👍

Thanks for the video don! Maybe a super thin s-grind would work good for Wagyu. Looks pretty tough to cut!
@DonNguyenKnives5 ай бұрын
I think so too, you could do some sorta crazy double hollow or something for a dedicated wagyu blade. For a general slicer that would be too lightweight imo, though I guess your traditional brisket slicer is kind of like that. Hmmm, ideas, ideas.....

Can’t wait to attempt something like this. Where do you get yours stones at? Most thing ones I find are so much smaller (about 1/4” wide)

Amazon sells the 1” for the fixed sharpener’s and come with and without a backing which I like the backed ones because they are much stronger and less likely to break. They also sell just about any size and shape you can think of tho

Hey don so quick question could you have done the fuller first before you ground in the bevel? it’s a honest question sorry if it’s dumb

You can, but this one I didn't know what my final geometry was going to look like, so I decided to do it after
