Ball Bearing Feather Damascus Knife From High Carbon And Saw Blade Steel Blacksmithing, Knifemaking

[@iamroy5993]

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

[@greekveteran2715]

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.

I really like this particular feather pattern. The addition of the saw blades into it gives it a wonderful break in the feathers and is beautiful. "Happy little accidents!" My new favorite pattern.

[@jedtaylor3551]

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

[@TalRohan]

hello little person and mrs firecreek forge. getting started early is definitely the way to start forging .

[@TalRohan]

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

[@davidjohns4223]

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

[@frankierzucekjr]

At 4:00 you can see how hot the blanks are even tho they're at least a foot or better away from the log. Pretty cool

[@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. 👍👍

[@bobhilly546312156332]

I bet they do but probably not saw as intersecting enough

[@TheShorebird]

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

[@Temptd2]

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!

[@smoothmarvingaming1309]

Be a man, make it yourself

[@shepardsforgeh2031]

That turned out wayyyy cooler then i was expecting man that is gor-jus!!!

[@FireCreekForge]

Glad you like it!

[@skellyngton]

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

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks!!

[@Michael-m2b3k]

This deserves a most definitely LIKE !!! Great job man !!! Absolutely eye popping!!!

[@hoobear78]

That came out awesome. Enjoy your videos and commentary explaining what we are watching.

[@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.

[@philochristos]

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

[@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.

[@tangowhiskeytrailertranspo6662]

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

[@BLVINEOCKERMVN]

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

[@FireCreekForge]

thank you sir

[@richardtoston964]

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

[@RedBeardOps]

Looks pretty darn awesome to me!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man!

[@lyonsden7830]

This knife is killer bro well done the good lord really gave u a gift can't wait to see what you come up with next till then stay safe

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir

[@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!

[@kenglass1980]

That is a beauty! Love how the pattern comes over the spine.

[@aksalaman4689]

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

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks!!

[@jerrysanchez5453]

Easily the most beautiful Damascus you have made so far imo

[@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.

[@bruceb51]

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

[@fifis101]

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

[@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 :)

[@ironhammer3734]

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

[@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!

[@DieCampinger]

Good work….. congrats from Germany 🇩🇪 🎉

[@gregbrightwell4682]

Beautiful family you have there. Lucky man.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you

[@olafwilhelm4684]

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

[@rhodie33]

That Desert Ironwood is beautiful

[@chestnystarik1]

your face expression, while you're working - priceless

[@jedtaylor3551]

really like the interrupted......fine vs the additional materials you incorporated......have watched a lot of feather and never seen that one.....need to keep it as one of your patterns

[@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!!

[@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

[@metlica17]

Your blades are almost as cute as your little guy! Cheers man, love the content!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤

[@StevoGreen-bv2gf]

I can't believe the finish you've achieved on this knife. You're work is some of the best I've seen! The detail work is something else👌 you're an extremely talented man

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir I appreciate it

[@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!

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

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

[@christopherhaehnel7355]

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

[@joco762]

That sir, is a thing of beauty.

[@texaswader]

I really enjoy your videos and I'm a fan of your work. I'll snag one of your knives some day.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir

[@robertr4193]

I really like the pattern you go in that blade. It turned out well.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you, glad you like it

[@richardtrumbo164]

Awesome, friend. Great build video.

[@fredrickbaker5262]

WOW! Incredible work my brother! I've heard the talk about a feather damascus pattern, but your work ethic to create such a beautiful instrument is awesome! Thanks, keep the videos coming sir!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks I appreciate it!

Excellent work, a great technique, and the video explaining the whole process is great. The knife is beautiful, the work of the blade, its shape, and its finish are beautiful, thank you very much for sharing your experience, greetings from southern Argentina.

[@CroshVine]

That turned out BEAUTIFUL!

[@joegordy720]

Very cool pattern for just learning I think you knocked it out of the park

[@zackkullis5555]

Great looking blade! My son recently mentioned he was thinking about getting into blacksmithing and I told him about your channel. I also sent this video to him as an intro to what you do. Looking forward to more!!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir!

[@chrisoliver1327]

That knife turned out spectacular!

[@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!

[@jamesseltenreich652]

Nice blade, love that pattern and the explanation thanks got a new sub

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir

[@mase7557]

Absolutely beautiful knife, Sir.

[@hulkthedane7542]

Very nice result. Can't tell from that, that it is your first go at feather damascus👍! Like your explanations, easy to understand , and i LOVE your sense of humour: "That is a technical term, goo"... First time I see that orientation of the feather on the finished knife - pointing away from the hand towards the tip. Everybody else (that I have seen..) put it pointing from tip towards hand. Beautiful!

[@BB49]

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

[@breakawaybooks4752]

4:00 check out the radiant heat melting the sap on the side of that log.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

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

[@jplarussa2392]

Very cool final result!!

[@AustinMuellerHandmade]

You're band saw seat is revolutionary, I need to make one! I just sit on my foot when I cut with the band saw vertically 😂

Thanks man, yeah it's a custom hardwood, responsibly sourced, vegan, carbon neutral ergonomically correct perch...

Wow! The pattern is beautiful.

[@TheSalinas]

Looks pretty cool! I guess it is sharp as well! Congratulations!

[@TheMotownPhilly]

You never cease to amaze. Really cool pattern and more importantly stretching the boundaries of welded steel design. Big thumbs up 👍🏻

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you sir, thanks for watching the channel

[@SirSwanky-zd6el]

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

[@DavidEricWilliams]

I love that knife!

[@randybork4493]

If you stuck a speaker next to your canister playing 'Whole Lotta Love' I bet that powder would settle real nice.

[@MrDriftspirit]

Outstanding masterpiece...
