KRIS BLADE DAMASCUS DAGGER!!! Part 13 (FINISHED!!!)

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you all for coming along the ride! Trying things way out of my comfort zone always makes for an incredible education. I've learnt a ton. Be sure to follow me on Instagram so you can get some behind the scense insta-stories! @alecsteele

[@bearpuma9079]

Alec Steele you did great bro!

[@rogersepulveda9871]

Hey Alec! Great work, it's gorgeous. Now that you're done with it, how about you start a little series of tutorials on how you do some stuff, like the feather damascus :D

[@flyfishingwestvirginia]

Absolutely beautiful! Fabulous job buddy keep up the great work.

[@merrickvik573]

Alec Steele. I would love if you could make a shield.

[@shaunmc6894]

Alec Steele if there is any competition you can enter that in, get it in. That is super master blade Smith work. I've never seen it's equal.

[@bhiga4542]

I'll be honest, I thought the keyhole integral was ugly until you added those facets. Now it's probably the most beautiful handle I've ever seen.

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you!!

[@BBlaylock06]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@farikomike524]

I was the same. It looked clumsy and blocky until those facets were on and then it was like......holy smokes!!! epic :-)

[@craigt3637]

Nice job Alec got really in to this project to the point I'd get in from work just to see if you had uploaded the latest video.

[@Donald_Turnip]

That's the thing! All it takes is those little facets that reorange the whole project. Great work, Alec!

[@groth0012]

Alec, here's to you. Thank you for showing us how many times you fail. Thank you for showing us just how much effort goes into your work, which has gone from rough hammers to fine art. Thank you for getting up every single time you fall and for starting over when it just isn't good enough. For those who you inspire to do a little bit better every day - thank you.

[@AlecSteele]

The pleasure is all mine to have such wonderful viewers! Thank you my friend!

[@ripplecatproductions3373]

Well said

[@byronservies4043]

I know you feel this series was too long, but as an engineer, we deal with failure all the time. I really enjoyed the entire series, especially the setbacks and analysis of what went wrong. The end result was entirely worth all the effort; well done!

[@KimHDRoberts]

I know absolutely nothing about blacksmithing. I know very, very little about woodworking. Yet your channel has quickly become the single most entertaining thing for me on KZbin. Incredible passion, workmanship, thirst for knowledge and drive for perfection. You're an absolute pleasure to watch Alec, your commitment and good humour is immensely refreshing. Keep up the excellent work, I hope to be enjoying your videos for a long, long time (and I'm going to buy a tee shirt). Thank you for the entertainment, education and for reinvigorating my own passions.

[@ThePaleWanderer]

Stunning workmanship Alec and that is one beautiful Kris dagger. The best thing about the series of WIP videos is that they showed how you made it warts and all which would certainly be encouraging to anyone making a start with knife making.

[@eliosaile1689]

Dude the work of whoever films and edits your videos is on par with the superior craftsmanship you apply to your smithing. I applaud you as a team for the superior quality entertainment you bring forth day after day. Thank you and beautiful work!

[@Just_Sara]

It's Jamie Popple! He's just the best too, amirite??

[@Lalaland.001]

Just Sara Eli O'saile I have been a day one subscriber on this channel and have seen all of his videos. I know that Alec does most of the filming and editing by himself, occasionally a good friend of his helps him, but he started the channel by himself and he even mentions it many times in his personal vlogs that he is learning and teaching himself how to film and edit. Even if you watch this entire series, you'll see static shots on tripods, he has an automated dolly which he has also shown us in his vlogs, and the rare handheld shots are done by either his buddy in the shop or a good friend or someone he's collaborating with, I believe that 98% of all the camera work and edits are done by himself.

[@UnstoppableTramp]

Lalaland: Wrong, if you are the day one subscriber you purport to be then you will also realise you are talking nonsense. He has a Camera man

[@Geckomayhem]

Lalaland Um, Jamie does the filming and editing, and has since before Sam left...

[@Lalaland.001]

Unstoppable Tramp My comment is pretty much self explanatory, if you know how to read it...Thank you for pointing it out again.Alec makes about $6-10K per month on average and I don't think it's within his budget to pay someone a serious sum of money just to film him every day. If any filmographer would make about $200 per day which believe me would be a bargain, he'd be spending about 3/4 (30x200=6000) of his earnings just to pay the film guy. He is still paying rent about £1200 if memory serves me right and that's without utilities, so he wouldn't be left with much now would he? Any shot is his manufacturing vids are either dollied or on a tripod, why would he need anyone for that. He might have an occasional pro when a project ends, but believe me, he doesn't have him on for everyday he's in the shop. he does most of it himself...even Mike Boyd with whom he collabed was amazed at how much work Alec put into his videos. So now you know.

[@GreenBeetle]

The facets, the pins, the pattern, the keyhole. INCREDIBLE!

[@tomcummings3471]

I'm about to watch your video as well! :D

[@tuckerbrunson4110]

hey man, I'm headed to your channel right now! I got really exited when i saw that both you, and Alec had new videos

[@weird5967]

Green Beetle, your work is amazing as well man. Love watching your videos.

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@T-ROOY]

Oh well done oohhh. I can feel your sense of pride through the screen, this is heartwarmingly joyous well done sir.🙏

[@yuhihe]

Congratulation, now you are Empu Alec. Empu is what we call Keris maker in Indonesia.

[@suryokai313]

Descendant of empu gandring

[@razestigma1276]

Hmm. But thats not a real Keris bruh. Keris cor2an. Just keris2an.

[@deff9647]

He doesnt fill the Kris with klenik matter so the Kris has no power

[@toddellner5283]

And the empu do all of it without precision machine shops.

[@danirj6214]

Empu = Java Pande = Bali

[@themobleys]

"Thanks to my buddy Will Stelter" So cool that he's been such a big part of the future of this channel!

[@varengrey7221]

Alec, this may be your finest work yet.

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you!

[@youriurss]

no doubt,insane work!

[@mercury6800]

No rapier

[@muhammadheralbahroni4503]

Yes... I agree. I'm Indonesian and I proud of you Alec. Thank you..

[@otsokivivuori7726]

That is just the best looking damascus, blade, and handle I have ever seen. May I suggest making a sword out of bronze next, maybe a xiphos after the gladius and khopesh

[@raeidm.raunak4927]

That’s exactly what he did.

[@protogamer245]

Hey alec, I'm not a craftsman. I don't work with power tools, I don't spend hours poring over little details in things I create with my hands. I am, however, a musician. Upon first glance, what we do could not be more different. But this series taught me that behind every piece of art, every stunningly beautiful blade, every hour of practice, is a few things: a plan, the mistakes, the learning, and the follow-through. Thank you for showcasing your creative process and how these mistakes not only broaden your understanding of your art, but also prove how much you love your craft. Cheers

[@Waffle675]

That kris is singlehandedly the most beautiful dagger I’ve ever seen. You could honestly give it to the queen/president and I’d bet they’d be amazed at the craftsmanship you’re capable of. Amazing work!

[@zacharyb100]

I was like oh the handle looks cool...4:26 HOLY S***!!!! That's the most badass handle ever Edit: The end piece is stunning and so complex yet simple. I love it

[@joshthangaraj9932]

zachary ballard i was also very impressed by the handle

[@xxportalxx.]

Personally I love the brass pins as well

[@jenjerx]

same!

[@bmoney2011]

I dunno, you said you would (in hindsight) not have included the pins into the design of the grip. I quite like the look of the bronze inlaid in the steel. It pops just enough to catch the eye without being overly flashy and gaudy.

[@AlecSteele]

In hindsight of my hindsight - I completely agree with you! Now it's finished I really think they were a touch that was worth the effort! Thanks for the comment!

[@ArthurC42]

And really, the extra strength they give is definitely worth it. Looks great, and will never fail you!

[@exercisemyrights]

i agree. i like the pins as well.goes with the hard industrial gothic look well.plus adds a bit of color.. no mistake there.

[@pazzmcwhy9295]

As someone who has no intention in ever making a knife. I have to say your videos are amazing!!! I have no idea how I stumbled across your videos but I am so very happy I have!! Your relentless positivity and willingness to laugh at yourself while being comfortable in your own skin, is amazing!!! Please keep on making!!! You truly are inspiring!

[@PitVanRooster69]

That is an unbelievably beautiful blade. Loved watching you throughout this series. I pictured myself taking this to a renaissance faire and just watching all admire it. When asked where I got it, I say "Forged in the fires of Valhalla by a blacksmith blessed with the vision of the Gods and the strength of Odin himself."

[@SteRumbelow]

Alec, that entire piece looks utterly incredible. A lot of work, but boy did it pay off. “When a job is once begun, leave it not ‘til it is done. Be it big or be it small, do it well or not at all.”

[@jeffdarden3647]

That thing is so beautiful it nearly brought me to tears. The handle is especially amazing. You're hard work and determination is an inspiration to me. Great job sir!

[@jerryfrancis7657]

I'm a Malaysian...its one of the most beautiful KRIS I've seen. Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat would be proud. WELL DONE!

[@honjacinema8062]

And I have mpu gandring wkwkwkw....

[@sbastianaw]

@@honjacinema8062 kerisnya hang tuah kan dari empu jawa y

[@MyHouseOnTheMoon]

So dramatic and beautiful! I absolutely love the grain of the Damascus. It might be my favorite! Great job, Alec

[@Beastt17]

Alec, I can't wait for you to hand forge the frame, inset the satin, drop in the tempered glass, and mount your newest work in a proper frame. It is not a dagger. It's not a knife. It's not a Kris. This is nothing short of pure art. As the camera glided along its contours I couldn't help but pause at least a dozen times to just take in the beauty. I've watched every minute of video posted during the transportation of raw materials into this stunning work of textures, colors, natural beauty and crafted facets. But somehow I was completely unprepared for the end result. When you first showed the facets in the handle, I forgot to breathe. While I've certainly seen pieces from bladesmiths with more experience, more know-how, more technical implementation, and much less uncertainty in their craft, I can say definitively that I've never seen a blade that so completely left me stunned by its absolute heart-stopping visual impact. Extremely well done, Sir Alec. You have exceeded every expectation and did so with absolute class.

[@bathmat4459]

I'm not normally one for commenting but damn Alec, that's the finest looking blade I ever did see! Well done!

[@Not_A_Cat]

After all the straightening, shim tempers, grinding, sanding and (although late to the party) following your journey with this project... OMG what a gorgeous blade. I questioned so many choices along the way, but the result is phenomenal.

[@nathanielbecker627]

This is by far the most incredible piece you have created yet. When that handle was pressed in for the final time and I saw that fit I couldn't help but smile cause it was gorgeous! Then you faceted the handle and the whole piece skyrocketed to a new level. The end result is the must stunning project you have completed. I will forever be impressed by your work and inspired to not only make things but then pass that knowledge on to my daughter! Well done Alec!

[@Giambo666]

I really love it to see your craft finished. You really nailed it!!! Thumbs up and honor for your Patience Alec 👌👌👍👍👏

[@alexanderjamesINC]

You did a bloody great job on that one Alec. Coming from a custom guitar building background, I really love how you ended up having to use cocobolo. The Kris turned out amazing.

[@tersan8547]

What about damascus pick guard and hardware on a AAAAA quilted maple body? That would be really cool :)

[@peterdaigle6375]

Alec, the blademasters of centuries past are smiling down on you! As always, tremendous work man! Beautiful as always! Everyone in the world of bladesmithing are going to know the name Alec Steele! Truly an artist! Love watching you learn new techniques in the craft of bladesmithing! Inspiring!

[@SolMitnick]

Alec, this is ridiculously beautiful. You always say you have no idea what you're doing, but you are one of the finest craftsmen I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

[@Kebnes89]

I have been waiting for this so long with all the teasers on Instagram. The wait was not in vain, it's a piece of art. Simply breathtaking!

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you Sir!

[@Kebnes89]

Now I just remembered that I need to clean my workshop, Have you cleaned yours? :)

[@h.moedima]

Amazing work! Today I discovered your channel and I've just watched all the 13 other parts of this project and loved every part of it. Your dedication and patience is truly amazing! Good work! Love it!

[@PostalPatriot556]

H.Moedi MA check out the rapier series. That one was my favorite.

[@h.moedima]

Postal Patriot556 will do!

[@KrazeeeOne]

I hope you don't have anything to do for like a month straight. You're gonna get pulled in to these videos buddy. Enjoy!

[@h.moedima]

Yeah I LOVE his work. Been binge-watching his previous works all night. it's 5 AM in the morning and I can't sleep. Someone send help please

[@h.moedima]

Can't find the repair series

[@elitearbor]

That's a stunning work of art. It would be at home in the finest blade collections in fine art museums.

[@TheBMBass]

You never cease to both amaze and inspire. I have to say this has got to be the most beautiful damascus pattern you've made in a blade yet. Keep up the great work mate.

[@TheLargedwarf]

if you're worried about the dome of a rivet then you can always countersink the holes on your mill and then hammer the bronze into the countersink, then grind it flush. It''l secure the piece and leave a flat surfac.

[@jossypoo]

Thanks for the tip! I'm totally gonna use that for my brass!

[@Geckomayhem]

Andrew Louw I was thinking just this. But how he finished the brass looks really fitting.

[@robertdavie319]

Alec, you have created a masterpiece. I would be proud to own a incredibly difficult beautiful work of art, I would display it in a manner to enhance/complement it. You are now a master craftsman. Never sell it, keep it for your decendants. I dare say you have created a museum piece. The Queen should see it!

[@Donald_Turnip]

He should GIVE it to the queen (the bird's about time to be put down anyways)

[@beckinbit820]

Alec, I just want to say how much i love your videos. I love that you celebrate your failures! It really shows what creating is all about! It's all apart of the learning process which I think is important for all creators to be reminded of or shown!!!! Thank you for all that you do in documenting your process!!!

[@a_student0]

I cannot remember a time that I felt this much of respect for someone's passion. True passion is impossible to fake and you have it.

[@Abom79]

Beautiful craftsmanship Alex! Be very proud! I've been learning right along with you man. BTW, really enjoyed that epic cinematic ending...:)

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you Sir! Really appreciate it :)

[@adamsiklos7591]

Abom79 alex lol

[@alecwilliams1556]

you get used to it.

[@NitrousDiecast]

Wow! This is the best creation yet! You should ask the Samurai carpenter to make a wooden case to keep this in!

[@justindesilets3526]

Yes! Like so it can be seen by Alec

[@Servants_Heart]

By far the most beautiful piece you have made. I love the integration of the wood handle and Damascus hilt.

[@jeffreycarter1223]

This is my 3rd time watching this series front to back and I still get teary eyed when the fit up finally works

[@mercy4afool]

Can't believe I found a youtuber like you. Someone that i can watch daily without getting bored. This is the second project i get the chance to watch you make making it and feel the struggle you feel.

[@8056443232]

Facets on the handle: wow! Gorgeous Alec, absolutely gorgeous.

[@jcows12]

Lots of hard work, extreme attention to detail, and dedication culminating into a finely crafted piece.

[@edster612]

That's really one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. The damascus, the handle, the craftsmanship. Seeing the effort that goes into pieces like this makes me understand why handmade knives are so sought after, expensive and that they are well worth every penny. Thank you for sharing the process.

[@quarlow1215]

At first the handle was "Ok I like this, very cool". Then you faceted it and it was "OMG that is effing beautiful". And etch just made it come alive. Well done Alec, you have out done yourself. Your closing shots of it with the pieces from the failed handles gave me a thought. If you shortened them on the square end and cut slots in the top just deep enough to act as a display holder it would make an awesome presentation display for your mantle. Alec, you rock young man, hold your head high.

[@TristanDare]

Wow Alec.... Just wow.... This is absolutely amazing what you've done here, absolutely fantastic work. I don't comment as much because it usually just gets buried in the rest of the comments... But I have to hand it out to you, this is by far the best blade I've ever seen. Fantastic work as always, you have a heck of a future ahead of you!

[@omahaballer]

Also love how the look of Damascus looks with your wooden handle and mate up points look great

[@pileofguzness3492]

Used my whole saturday to watch 2 of your builds. Was not at all disappointed, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of craftsmanship I have ever seen, keep up the amazing work Alec!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Beautiful work... your best yet IMHO. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, and keep up the good work.

[@rileyevans4431]

That is the single most beautiful blade I have ever seen!!! I'm glad you didn't use the African black wood( as I'm writing this I can't remember the wood. You used😂) anyways I think that wood goes so much better with the Damascus than the African black wood. You do truly amazing work Alec!

[@I_Art_Laughing]

Outdoorsman Paradise he used Coco Bolo, notoriously difficult to use as a knife handle. It is self oiling and holds a nice shine just by rubbing it.

[@CyrusTabery]

Dalbergia retusa for the win! Once I heard cocobolo I knew it was the way to go!!

[@philippennington5415]

That Blade is BEAUTIFUL! Worth the wait truly! Art and craftsmanship all role into one.

[@shanefoster5305]

This is by far my favorite project! Not only the craziness, but that is possible the most beautiful kris dagger I’ve ever seen in my entire life!

[@gorisenke]

That is absolutely beautiful. Well done. It looks amazing. I don’t have much else to say I’m still blown away.

[@BigZ7337]

This is definitely the most beautiful thing you've made so far, thanks for taking us along on the journey of making something so amazing. I'd previously been worried that the hilt would end up too boxy, but when you faceted it it turned out perfect. :)

[@pilotbroF22]

This kris is gorgeous. I think it might be the most beautiful sword, weapon you have ever made. Please keep up the great work.

[@nelsonholmes6174]

Alex you are quite simply an artist, that kris is a thing of beauty. Your learning something new all the time, well done.

[@randygwheeler]

Unbelievably beautiful. I at first wasn’t sure but you ideas of shaping the handle was mesmerizing. I have not missed a video in the 4 months I starting watching. Bravo sir, bravo. I wish I could buy a piece of Damascus like that. No, I’m not a blade smith or anything close. I use a vice, hand saw, and hand files and make things ever now and then. I have a piece of 5/8 steel rod 6 inches long from Home Depot and I make Thor hammers for kids to give out. I use a nail to put through the head for a handle. I learned from watching you. Thank you sir

[@TheRocky3211]

13:49 this is why i kept asking for 4k uploads, the detail in that pattern is outstanding .

[@AshleyK1ng]

i would also like 4k for final videos :)

[@ProXicT]

Can't even be expressed by words how beautiful this is. If I ever wanted a long blade, it would be this one! Really *stunning* work, keep it up, man!

[@PurpleFaerieMagic]

Aahhhhhhh!!!! That is gorgeous!! I’ve just binge watched that entire series today. Sooooooo much hand sanding and failed keyhole attempts. But that final result is totally worth it. You should be so proud!!!

[@thomasarussellsr]

That has got to be your most beautiful creation yet, especially that handle. Well done, sir. Absolutely brilliant.

[@joshuaspence3926]

Stunning! The pattern turned out beautiful! The keyhole and the facets on the handle look amazing! Well done!

[@dannyarrowheadstalker3054]

Absolutely gorgeous creation, the attention to detail in the end is all that counts.

[@agentsmart9360]

Absolutely Stunning, from start to finish. You have the eye of artist, the hands to make art and the desire to bring art to life. Anyone starting at 1 and making to 13 will know it goes by like a flash.

[@davidlane5453]

Top notch workmanship. Your committed to your craft and it shows. I really like how the Damascus pattern came out.

[@DrayneR1]

I literally cried when I saw the beauty of the final product. It's a fine piece of art, the damascus is just amazing, you did well man, keep working hard :)

[@magnusaarb2012]

DrayneR I cried as well

[@kansascrick3507]

There is often a level of comedy involved when an expert metal worker looks for the same level of precision in wood. Wood has a personality of it's own, it pushes back, it shrinks and swells, and is very sensitive. You can't just heat it and beat it: it's got an attitude. Beautiful work and you caught pretty much all of what I was yelling at the screen lol Love your work, brother. Keep it up.

[@justmutantjed]

Whoa. One of the most gorgeous pieces of art I have ever seen. Incredible work, Alec. I'm just floored.

[@kylemitchell3109]

After the sixth time of watching the last two minutes of this video I'm finally to this comment. WOW, epic build, amazing craftsmanship, and that handle...work of art!

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you my friend!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Those facets man! What a beautiful looking blade.

[@TimNelstonIII]

Oh. My. Goodness! Watching through the whole series (not skipping all the handle work!) gives such a profound sense of accomplishment and pride at seeing the final product! The stain and angles on that handle are GORGEOUS and I stopped the video just to show my wife the craftsmanship in this incredible project!

[@drmindriot]

that key hole integral looks stunning, nice work, the entire blade is beautiful.

[@nosyaj007]

All that work and attention to detail payed off that is one gorgeous blade

[@Vnub]

That handle really did push the finished product over the top. I am curious to see your take on a serpent in the sword style damascus. It involves a mix of normal damascus and twisted damascus waving up the length of a sword. It is normally done on Viking style swords which I would also like to see your take on. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Naxioan]

That finished product is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen...

[@andrealmeida4438]

One of the most beautiful Kris Daggers i have ever seen, all that hard work was worth it man. Congratulations!!

[@tylerjames3313]

What I admire and respect about you is your ability to never let challenges get in your way of creating the perfect end result. I think you are providing very valuable lessons to your viewers to NEVER GIVE UP! Thanks for the great video photography, editing, sound, and time-lapse episodes. You have a great team working with you. Acknowledge them sincerely, and appreciate their outstanding efforts to help you make your channel worth watching... every single day.

[@FinnJenkins]

That is MAGNIFICENT! you are such an inspiration. I have gotten back into leatherworking because of your stickability and passion for doing things right. Well done sir!

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you my friend! Thrilled you've got into leatherwork!

[@ChickenTamale93]

Watching your journey on this knife has been so suspenseful! It’s soooo satisfying to see this conclusion! This is my favorite piece you’ve made, I love watching your Percision with this piece and just the immense care you took making sure every part of this piece was perfect! Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jack_The_Biker]

This has to be single handedly the best piece you’ve crafted in my opinion

[@abdullahroished1918]

Dear : alec steele I'm from Saudi Arabia and your followers are impressed by your wonderful artwork. I wish you more progress and thank you.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

This is by far an away the nicest thing you have ever made.

[@debbiebissel50]

ALEC! My name is Jake I was a machinist for 40 years and 33 years of that was for Domino sugar which was owned at one time by Tate&Lyle some years back. I watch you all of the time and I respect you for your pride,talent and mostly your craftsmanship you show. I never operated a cnc but did make a couple of knives while I would Babbitt some bearings ranging from 1" thru 6. For some reason they frowned on me making personal stuff while I'm supposed to be working can you imagine the nerve. I enjoyed your repair of the Bridgeport mill which brought back some challenging memories. I really enjoyed the work I did but it got to be challenging when using a 12 pound maul to drive a 4-7/16" shaft out of a gearbox I would get stoped to make a half of dozen 10/32" turnbuckle screws with a 12" Chuck. Keep up the craftsmanship and I will continue to watch with all respect.

[@mosinman4211]

The most beautiful thing you've ever created, you are a true inspiration.

[@CookietheCalico]

"if you've follow-along-ed", only 14 seconds to the first Alecism must be a new record ;P Amazing work anyway, well worth follow-along-ing

[@definitelydelish]

“Failure is always an option” but you do amazing things that makes me wish I could learn some of it. Damascus for the win....

Your blades are getting better and better. Outstanding work Alec!

[@AlecSteele]

Thank you!!!

I’d happily pay $5000 for a kris of that quality

[@tulkasastaldo4612]

Are you kidding ! $10,000 min. this is a masterpiece !

[@nayokoamangkubhumi4942]

Paul McCATney go to indonesia if you want to look more beautiful keris of course the prize is not expensive at least its not the national treasure

[@RufioXIII]

Alec I think, quite honestly, this is the best piece of work you have put up on KZbin. The pattern is amazingly beautiful, and the way it all flows into the faceted handle is just... Wow. Keep up the good work, great series to watch.

[@JoeryPigmans]

amazing craftsmanship alec, im always amazed that with trial and error you manage to somehow turn things into a masterpiece.

[@michaelstancek8611]

A chill went down my spine when I saw the final piece absolutely phenomenal work

[@stevenpurtee5062]

I watched all 13 parts of this, and it was well worth it. That finished piece is amazing!

[@pogostix6097]

Now THAT is a beautiful blade. Ornate but simple, not overdone, very balanced and pleasing to look at. It honestly looks like something you'd find in a video game, almost too good to be true. Gonna have to go binge-watch some more series builds, they just keep getting better and better.

[@I_Art_Laughing]

Very nice project. Your attention to detail really showed up in the final result. I don't need a Kris blade, but really this is a work of art I'd still love to have (something for your grandchildren to fight over). Display box next (maybe with Damascus elements)?
