Your son is adorable brother…. You have been truly blessed!!!

For people ,who have never forged a blade in their life, and are just users'collectors. Guys, this is how you properly make a knife! I've seen both in person and on KZbin videos, some of the best makers in the world. So,it's not just my opinion from my personal experience and knowledge, I've seen and I've spoken with hundreds of makers. Do not get excited, with all that marketing nowdays, which makes you believe, that a good knife, is one made of the highest technology power metallurgy steel. It's what this makers does, that makes a perfect knife!!! Those details, like the amount of water he uses while grinding to avoid overheating the steel and so many other details, are what maters the most. Geometry and heat treatment, are also more important, than steel itself is. In the same time, I bet his blades, hold their edge as a Vanadis 4 Extra does, while in the same time, they have some of the best, if not THE best edge stabiliity you can have on a blade.

We became big fans of forging from watching Forged in Fire - and now search out the topis on KZbin. Just found your channel. That feather pattern damascus is amazing and my husband now wants a "steak knife" made with that pattern. Will keep an eye on your website for something suitable!

[@rockbutcher]

I like the fact that blacksmiths have technical terms like 'Goo.' As a geologist I once described the vein we were looking at as 'squiggly' and was asked if that was a true geological term. I assured the investor that it was. 😂

[@FireCreekForge]

Yes sir, this is important to the respective trade ...

[@slichens1927]

(to @rockbutcher) As an engineer, (civil) who worked in gold and silver mines, I also chided the geologists (irreverently referred to as "pebble fairies") for making predictions about minerals drilled out hundreds of feet below surface. And then, even more mysterious are the geologists who expound about Martian geology and even geology of other stars and planets. I mean, how TF do they do that?

[@rockbutcher]

@@slichens1927 You sure sound like one. There's a reason why after 32 years in the industry there are only 5 mining engineers that I will allow to sit with me in my fishing boat. Go find, delineate and then define your own orebody Champ.

[@slichens1927]

@@rockbutcher AWW c'mon RB. I was just tryin' to make a bit o fun (at your expense, of course). You sure you haven't got a rock hammer in your, uh, back pocket today?

[@dennisschaaf8813]

I had an MRI on my back and had two vertabrae out of alignment. I told my PCP I had two vertebrae out of whack. He asked if that was a medical term and I told him it could be.

[@RevPirateDan]

Every time they do canister Damascus on "Forged in Fire" I'm always marveling that nobody takes the can and puts it on top of any machine that vibrates, so as to get the powder to settle. But bringing the sawzall to the cannister? Next level!!!!

[@jonny555ive]

Also works for getting air out of a concrete pour.... FYI . Hopefully you never ever have to pour the devil's diarrhea, but if you do here's a good way to get the air out of it. 👍👍

[@jplarussa2392]

Very cool final result!!

[@davidjohns4223]

That was a beautiful feather pattern. Pretty darn good for your first time!

[@MRTOMBO]

That's just stunning. It's not an overly elaborate knife, but that's part of it's beauty. Sweet lines, clean curves, great proportions, and that stunning blade. Yikes. Really nice.

[@skellyngton]

Phenomenal result - that feather pattern turned out really nice! Well done, brother.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks!!

[@Father-Yeshua-Yeshiana]

Pretty dang good looking knife

[@jerrysanchez5453]

Easily the most beautiful Damascus you have made so far imo

[@rhodie33]

That Desert Ironwood is beautiful

[@jedtaylor3551]

Always great to watch you work Your voice over and explanation s are spot on

[@jmbgouveia]

Thank you for the video and God bless your soon!... Hugs from Lisbon.

[@tangowhiskeytrailertranspo6662]

Outstanding! Looks like opposing waterfalls. Tutorial was spot on.

[@richardtoston964]

That's the most fancy simple hardy looking knife I've ever seen

[@RamoArt]

A good bit of my childhood was spent in my dad's shop and it was always a good day when I managed to find a ball bearing on the floor. They were a rare find and seemed to provide endless amounts of fun. Maybe your kid is going to have similarly fond memories of ball bearings :)

[@philochristos]

I like that "iron sharpens iron" shirt. 🙂 Nice knife, too.

[@gman3725]

True craftsman

[@hippis563]

Dam nice demacus this pattern is unique !

[@chestnystarik1]

[@larrysutherland4870]

Beautiful work

[@RedBeardOps]

Looks pretty darn awesome to me!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man!

[@ironhammer3734]

Love the way this feather pattern came out, one of the most attractive I've seen. Great work!

[@bruceb51]

That was a great idea using ball bearings, I never tried using them for feather damascus. Very impressive once again. Thanks.

[@SirSwanky-zd6el]

That turned out phenomenal. Would love to see it attempted on a bigger blade

[@scottlarkin4748]

Love your channel

[@rondangeli4175]

JUST BEAUTIFUL

[@chrisspann5277]

Beautiful work and craftsmanship

[@TheShorebird]

That is really nice, especially for the first time! Cute little boy too!

[@fifis101]

I can't believe how easy the cans come off! Such a good way to do it.

[@shenran9164]

I applaud you for blocking the welding brightness. Others just shadow and add a greenish filter over it.

[@Peterbilt01]

That is a beautiful pattern.

[@sanyok7777]

Incredible job

[@DieCampinger]

Good work….. congrats from Germany 🇩🇪 🎉

[@imBajwa]

Great shirt, Fe sharpens Fe 🙂

[@TalRohan]

[@TalRohan]

I have to say right now that is the most effective and attractive feather damascus I have ever seen, its awesome..

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

Lovely work!

[@TheMaddgodd81]

Gorgeous blade. Well done!

[@jayreynolds4556]

That is super beautiful

[@blaineockerman]

Bro your beard is majestic... your blades are even better.

[@FireCreekForge]

[@royster7170]

Beautiful knife

[@joco762]

That sir, is a thing of beauty.

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Wow! Truly epic! Your "accident" worked out amazingly well! I really live the way the pattern turned out! Thanks for taking us along on your learning experience. As always another great piece!

[@truetvlee]

You do what I want to do it's amazing!

[@benbyers1041]

Yur content is awesome

[@olafwilhelm4684]

Great work again. Thanks a lot for covering up the welding light! Highly appreciated.

[@diogosouza9127]

you make a magic here man! congratulation for working!

[@alanlaidler1566]

The most plain working knife you will ever see BUT with the most awsome pattern in a blade,wen I say plain workin knife,…. It’s a nice length for ya belt or boot,nothing fancy bout the handle shape or blade shape BUT that feather pattern turned Cinderella into a princess👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@barimedic]

Love the voice overs. I would rather hear what you observe and your ideas as you work at it, and you have a good voice for it.

[@jeffreycarter1223]

Best feather I’ve seen

[@edrichards4140]

That turned out super cool. Far different from many other feather patterns I've seen. I really like the thick bands between the feathers. Nice work!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks!!

[@BB49]

That's really beautiful in a strange and different kind of way!!!!

[@lunkydog]

I feel like the addition of the bandsaw blade steel was a fortunate accident. Made the feather even more distinct.

[@FireCreekForge]

It did turn out in the end, thanks for watching!

[@JamEWalsh]

I really appreciate your voice-over giving details/explanations of what we're seeing (I don't really know much about forging but am very interested in it). Great videos, thanks man!

[@CroshVine]

That turned out BEAUTIFUL!

[@patrickkennedy2533]

your breathing apparatus is smart

[@butthedd0233]

Excellent first attempt.

[@brianarendes26]

Stunning work! I love to watch you work magic with steel.

[@aaronkreger1891]

FANTASTIC looking blade! Amazing craftsmanship as always!!

[@greekveteran2715]

Perfectly made, perfect desing for use, great looks, can't get any better!!!

[@TalmorKeidar]

beautiful knife

[@chrisoliver1327]

That knife turned out spectacular!

[@christopherhaehnel7355]

As per usual I am hopelessly enthralled by this dedication to the craft, awesome brother

[@johnvaluk1401]

Wow that turned out to be stunning. Love the pattern. Thanks.

[@dgibraltar]

I am in complete awe.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Thanks for the excellent editing as well sharing your experiences with this method with us!

[@aksalaman4689]

That's probably the nicest looking blade I've ever seen!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks!!

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

That blade came out really nice I think the best one you have done yet

[@livingcaesarwood]

That's a really nice pattern for a double-edge dagger or sword!!

[@kjell-toreaberg8549]

Amazing. I have to gear up buying more tools i think😅

[@daviddingus8575]

Absolutely beautiful

[@user-pk2fg8im4u]

Great, or should I say, beautiful pattern! You have a matched talent of smithing and commenting while you do these projects. Very informational and entertaining! Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work. From what I see of your family, you a very blessed, reminds me of forty odd years ago on my farm. Thanks again. Rick

[@brysonalden5414]

Mighty fine, sir! I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your techniques and "learning experiences" Selfishly I'm sorry the bloodwood cracked, that's my favorite handle material and I was looking forward to learning how you finish yours.

[@cybermechx]

Looks Great!

[@Pariscj]

That knife is beautiful

[@koosscholtz8266]

I really like the pattern, and the knife

[@Thorrnn]

that is a beautiful blade!!

[@roblegrange473]

Very cool patern...

[@gregbrightwell4682]

Beautiful family you have there. Lucky man.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you

[@benniespreeth2847]

Just an FYI, when you added the saw, the weld you did was very nicely done. So don't sell your welding skills short.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

That is a work of Art !!!!!!!!!!!

[@henryknight7876]

nice work very intresting

[@pink-slush6793]

Love the beard

[@johnwilliams1745]

Absolutely stunning knife sir! The simple appearance really belies how complex it is.

[@rickerose541]

Beautiful

[@jamesh5460]

Wow! The pattern is beautiful.

[@jamesgloriod7195]

Two comments: 1. I really like this video because of your narrative of your trial and error approach to making this knife... what went well, what didn't, etc. 2. I don't know why, but somehow I'm am not satisfied unless I see a new knife or sword CUT something. That is the "icing on the cake" that proves that you made something beautiful, without sacrificing its utility. Nothing fancy... cutting a sheet of paper is fine!

[@reza.malmir]

خیلی هنردارید.افرین🇮🇷🇮🇷

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Came out awesome.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks Randy

[@gregoryh4601]

Well Done Sir. Be careful you may have to hire your little Boy to help you with the over flow Orders. Sir have you try Stainless Hose Clamps install of Welding? I will take a look at your Knifes . Like to get a new Cutting Knife for Our Kitchen. Happy Holidays. Gory
