Forged Pattern Weld Chef's Knife | Plysteel

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

This knife is absolutely beautiful. And production value of this video is amazing. Funny, smart, mesmerizing. Well done Captain!!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Shepherd! Now off to watch your zombie build!

[@reforzar]

Ijessup for best cameo of the month.

[@skullandspade]

Award is in the mail.

[@AaronSchmidt52]

Woohoo!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I'll just glue some together :D Gorgeous knife, awesome video and world's best cameo.

[@skullandspade]

Daaaawwwww. Thank you Ellen! It's just glue. Should be easy ; )

[@HandToolRescue]

Yo, my wrist isn't where yours is. Should I be worried?

[@skullandspade]

Call a doctor. I think you're dying.

[@jamiereader]

Yeah I found mine on the other side of my body. Weird!

[@FigmentsMade]

Let glue dry. Oh good gravy. This is my wrist. Oh help. Well, this was an awesome way to start the day. Thank you for bringing on the laughs. This is a fantastic video (shooting, editing, music, acting, humor, etc), and that is a fabulously gorgeous knife. Now pardon me while I go hit replay because this much awesomeness deserves more watching.

[@skullandspade]

Daaawwwwww...... Thank you Figmaiden. Means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Awesome video as always, thanks for honoring me by having that painting in the background too! 👀

[@skullandspade]

Cheers brother. Consider it a permanent feature in the ship shop

[@GetToKnowNature]

It's hard to believe that underneath that black, rough, vaguely knife-shaped hunk lies such a smooth, shiny object. What a lovely creation.

[@skullandspade]

That's my favorite part about smithing. The piece is in there somewhere ; )

[@GetToKnowNature]

@@skullandspade This video definitely shows that really well.!

[@MichaelAlm]

So sharp it cut through a cutting mat! Badass

[@skullandspade]

pretty ridiculous

[@JEYD220699]

Beautiful blade Cap! I admire your patience! Cute name too!! "This is my wrist " was hilarious! Thanks for sharing!

[@skullandspade]

Hah! Glad you enjoyed. Thank you Dimitris

[@LXWiseman]

I really enjoy your videos, and the little bit of story at the beginning and the end with the skulls pushes it over the edge into awesomeness. Masterfully done

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Lucas! Glad you enjoy!

Yet another masterpiece, Captain McAfee.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you James.

[@WhoNoes]

great stuff! loved how you just walked away when the cutting mat broke. Really cool edit.

[@skullandspade]

Didn’t expect it, figured I was done

[@aaroncashion7570]

Beautiful work! Love seeing your progression

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Aaron! We've come a long way in the last year.

[@davebauerart]

Beautiful. I appreciate the time and attention you took filing the blade and handle. Fun video. Woo hoo.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks Dave. I really like hand tools, but I’d like to get better with the geometry’s and whatnot. Always learning ; )

[@sgsax]

I think you just levelled up. Damn fine job!

[@skullandspade]

Ooooohhh....I'll have to check the stats.

[@theJonnymac]

beautiful knife! you have a gift for story telling! I loved the mat splitting!

[@skullandspade]

Totally unplanned, had to keep it in. And thank you Jonny!

[@awesomeinprogress4189]

Awesome way to make a gift to Al while giving homage to Steve`s Cake knife video. You are a good man Cap, and lest all hope plysteel catches on, love that😉

[@skullandspade]

I sure hope it does!!! Thank you sir!

[@thegunguymartin]

Love it !!!! Well done Brett.... Very well done sir !!!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Christopher!

[@WaveCyclesCreative]

Ogres have layers, and so does plysteel! Top work sir!

[@skullandspade]

Like Parfaits!

[@techronmattic5876]

I like that you addressed the Demascus term being used for pattern welded steel the main difference of Wootz demascus and the modern pattern welded demascus is that demascus steel was never a process of forge welding steel together rather it was the smelting that created the pattern, but all that aside, thats a nice knife well done

[@skullandspade]

You're right, and beyond that is the ore itself (wootz) plus the impurities mixed in (vanadium and whatnot) Would be amazing to crack the code of how they did it.

That's a very beautifully shaped blade with a great plysteel-texture! I love how self-explaning that word is :) Also, at one point "you got black on you" :D thanks for your videos!

[@skullandspade]

It’s perfect! All credit goes to ijessup for the term! I’m great at giving myself coal unibrows

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

Here's a list of all the things you did wrong: 1. Not enough Jess. 2. Didn't make a "2 by 2 hands of blue" reference And a list of the things you did right: 1. Aubergine. 2. Everything else. Good work mate!

Here's a list of things also: 1. Dogs 2. Adventure Time 3. We have a podcast 4. Bacon 5. Not enough Jess 6. Don't tell me how to foolfly And another list: 1.

Thank you as always Kyle!

Haha that was great! I love the knife, shape and pattern are great! The best thing however has to be that this is the polar opposite to Steve's damascus wood cake knife incl. the humor. Fantastic work all around!!!

I predict the first thing Al cuts with it is his lip when he puts it in his mouth and bites down on it.....because we all know he will. A most excellent video Brett. Top notch topic, filming, edit, process and a few hilarious easter eggs. Jess and the anvil had me in stitches.

[@skullandspade]

Hahahah! Great, and thank you Sir! Much love and appreciate the imagery of Al biting the knife...because reasons.

[@skullandspade]

Depends one which animals they are. And, cool is a relative term. Thank you.

[@heyimamaker]

Well done! I think it would be cool to make a chefs knife with a blood groove, top serrations, and a line cutter. Oh and probably a pommel for mashing garlic and peppercorns :) The kitchen can be a war zone and you need every bit of help that you can get!

[@timberdish]

Now that is a stunning looking knife. Given that my santoku knife is nearing its end of life, I'd love to try and make a replacement with that plysteel. I must first make a forge, sort out an anvil and learn all of the things. Plus a wrist that tells the time would be handy!

[@skullandspade]

All of these are easy peasy. Yeah, anvil prices have gone a bit wonky, but honestly you just need something to bang a hammer on. Coal forge is cheaper (and messier) but will get that forge weld heat you need. Do all the things Matt, and make sure you report back with progress!

[@timberdish]

@@skullandspade I shall!! :) Thanks for your help/inspiration!

[@michaelpiercy89]

Nice job! Next time you chop, pinch the knife right after where the Bolster would be on the blade. Provides stability on the left and right axis so that if you slip nothing bad happens.
