Forging A Damascus Knife Completely By Hand

[@timmeijerink9504]

Fantastic work. Truly beautiful

[@TheMotownPhilly]

Beautiful pattern. Ive been watching alot of these hand forged Damascus videos and your pattern is the best ive seen up till now. The delam thing sucks because that would have made a kick ass finished project. Hope you try again and make another video.

[@davidhenderson4599]

Tough break, still looks pretty cool. Cut it up, restack it with other failures, and make a new one.

[@bobclapper2672]

Nice Damascus Work. Bravo !

[@KnightsArmory]

What a great video!! i was in a trance watching it and listening to the music! Very awesome. Sorry you weren't able to finish the knife. I have box of failed knives lol :-)

[@vantastic]

Man that's still awesome, even with a few delams. Love that pattern. Well done!

[@Nomparelli69]

Todella nätti kuvio tuli joka tapauksessa! Eikä mennyt aika hukkaan, aina hyvää reeniä ja tulihan siitä komia videokin tehtyä. Itelläkin aikomuksena laittaa youtubeen oman pajan kanavalle videoita kun saa projekteja valmiiksi, vielä ei ole mitään videoita. Instagram ja facebook sivut oon väsänny ja sielä jo vähän jotain onkin, Farland Forgeworks nimellä löytyy. Pistä seurantaan jos yhtään kiinnostaa ja jatka samaan malliin, oot todella taitava puukkoseppä!

[@MLCustomKnives]

Kiitoksia! Joo hyvää reeniä ja harjoitusta kuitenki. Joo pistin instas haltuun👍

[@ohkay8939]

I've tried firewelding once and had trouble getting two pieces of metal to stick, let alone six. Amazing result for a first try.

[@MLCustomKnives]

Thanks! This is my first try with damascus indeed but I've done a few practise pieces with mild steel and tried san mai a couple times so I had at least a little bit of experience of forge welding before making this damascus.

Nice work, beautiful pattern. Please get rid of the music; just record the shop noise as you go along, the hammer hitting your work is more beautiful than any music. No need for music, it is very distracting !

[@cpmtrad6728]

Agreed

[@shaunm2208]

Use the volume button.... easy remedy

[@JustinTopp]

I love low layer count Damascus so much nicer in my opinion. Can’t wait to try to make my own Damascus

[@rahulrajank6098]

Hello ... Anyone pls tell which are the chemicals required for making a Damascus knife? On which type of oil used. Pls help.

[@YooProjects]

Professional works!

[@maxmartinscherwitz2167]

how much time did it take ?

[@redneckpatriot4714]

Do you have gmaw or can you use smaw

[@ironforge7646]

I saw a delamination towards the middle of the cutting edge, but well done either way :) practice makes perfection

[@MLCustomKnives]

Thanks. Yup it had quite a few delams. Thats why I didnt make a handle and didnt even bother finish the blade properly.

[@randall-dy7yf]

What is the powder

[@MLCustomKnives]

I used borax for forge welding

[@Bullarabdog]

Nice work couple imperfections and not quite welded but great job

[@seppsteiner9667]

How many hours do you think it took

[@MLCustomKnives]

Way too many!😅 This was way too big of a billet for forging by hand without a striker. I even had to take a few 1-2 week long breaks from forging to heal my blisters. Normally I dont even get any blisters from forging.

[@clydecox2108]

Nice pattern though.

[@armannan8178]

Awesomeee!!!

[@MrMarsBlades]

great effort though, cheers

[@solaris736]

Not what I expected when I read completely by hand, I'm used to people doing all of the grinding, sharpening, etc. without power tools, even the folding and forge welding of the layers, but still a good vid for sure

[@НиколайОстанков-ъ7ж]

Мне одному кажется или у лезвия расслоение? И ещё не понятно, зачем стачивать заготовку? Какой смысл делать кучу слоев, чтобы потом немалую часть из них сточить?!

[@roycehenderson862]

It's pretty design but you know that's not true wootz Damascus steel

[@Locosporlascarnes]

Greetings, tremendous work, a jewel, you do not know how much I would like a knife like that, I wrote you on instagram, review
