Forging Damascus Steel Knife

[@afenhoff]

u couldnt have made this knife better. extraordinarily good job.

[@lsubslimed]

That turned up beautifully! I'm so glad to see you were finally able to get your hands on some nickel steel. IMHO it's what makes damascus so beautiful by giving it that shimmer in the light. Great knife, great vid! (again) ;)

[@De_leste]

You play the great magic Pave!! Beautiful knife.

[@andrewreger2969]

Awesome work dude! Knife looks awesome. Im trying to get into metal forging and this video really helped me see the whole process. Thanks!

[@rudya4970]

wish I had an outdoor smith shop growin up. nice job dude

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Beautyful knife, and very well edited video! Thanks for sharing!

[@64t120r]

That's a good looking piece of steel you made.

[@viktorbene8987]

It's a very nice blade. You do good job. I'm from Hungary and respect you.

[@betax2815]

This guy really deserves more subs.. Awesome works, dude!

[@niapik7]

Świetna robota, jak zawsze! ;-) Rób dalej to, co robisz, bo wychodzi Ci zajebiście!

[@fadilto]

You are a good craftsman. Good job.

[@greysonmonaghan-bergson3455]

This is amazing! I have been obsessed with knives for years and yours are amazing! A++

[@GaBoLsKi]

Nice knife, very nice patern in the damascus! very original to choose three different types of wood for the handle. I'm more of a full tang guy but yeah freaking awesome knife. did you do only one fold for your damascus or you did not show all of them?

[@JRovey-nt8mj]

awesome video! quality bladesman skills. what is the name of the white powder that you sprinkle on the laminates before forging them?

[@howelx]

Beautiful work like always. i was just wondering, i want to get into blacksmithing but i don't know a good place to start. any recommendations?

[@gabrielkierulff]

no power hammers or hydraulic prenses? Thanks for the inspiration!

[@igorrayzo1895]

Как всегда смотрел с удовольствием! Спасибо!

[@Roadzery]

Greetings fellow bladesmith, may i ask what kind of wood you used for a spacer? the red one.

[@nukeyourhouse]

You are my hero. Awesome stuff, my friend.

[@stevethegamer9999]

Really great video as always! Keep up the good work.

[@64t120r]

Very nice design and execution.

[@johnnunn5523]

what are the different steels you use to get such a contrast in color

[@RedGhost1990]

A Very Nice knife. What did you use for the handle?

[@neraben]

Fantastic! You should sell these knives!

[@knittaddiction-brandy9471]

Amazing job! I'll have to make me one of my own now. Keep up the good work!:)

[@Sharpbevel]

Fantastic job! Looks great.

[@Beaster456]

Beautiful piece, excellent work

[@nukeyourhouse]

I have been watching many of your videos. It makes me want to start investing in some smithing and crafting equipment. All of your knives are very beautiful. Superb work. How long does it take you to forge one of your Damascus steel blanks before all of the knife formation?

[@souleaters22]

That moment when you try to watch an awesome knife making video but you have to watch it 10+ times because you keep getting interrupted >.

[@curtedwards1164]

What is the white stuff he puts the blade also what is that liquid he puts the knife into to make have that wave pattern

[@raphbouis3557]

Very good knife! What is the name of the tool that you use to shrpen your knife please ?

[@michat2437]

Zajebista robota! Widzę, że coraz lepsze ostrza. Szczerze zazdroszczę warsztatu, tego teoretycznego, ale i tego sensu stricte :)

[@gulfmedic1]

beautiful work, did you use the same steel or different kinds of steel for the combination

[@Anino_Makata]

Alternating stacks of high carbon and low carbon steels.

[@lvd2001]

How many layer of diff steel? and how many times did you fold them over? Thanks

[@dickda1]

Very nicely done - inspiring!

[@jessecookies6778]

nice buffing wheel man grate job on the knive tho

[@Grand-Massive]

what is that white powder stuff they put on the hot steel, and what does it do

[@45acp]

That’s a really good looking knife.

[@mjbine]

This was done without the use of a power hammer? If so, that gives me hope. Great video.

[@chrisjollie7240]

I have a power hammer in my shop but it's actually quite fun to go at it with a hand hammer. It's a bit like making a knife with a file instead of a belt sander

[@PulmollctMinecraft]

Możesz wstawić zdjęcie z miniaturki do pobrania? Na tym ujęciu jest świetny klimacik ;) Dobre na tapetę o ile jest wysoka rozdzielczość.

[@kenbarker6478]

Pave.W May I ask you a question? do you burn wood in your forge, or do you make charcoal?

[@chrisjollie7240]

It's obviously charcoal

[@everydaygrind6832]

where did you get the stencil to etch your logo on the knife.

[@CaioKnifeMaker]

The guard was made of micarta?

[@MegaBeer1234]

Hey , I'm just curious what's the liquid you put the blade in to bring out the patterns ?

[@godparticle314]

It's an acid of some sort. I'm not sure exactly what was used here but usually people will use ferric chloride which is sold as a circuit board etchant. The acid will eat into the different steels at different rates, revealing the pattern

[@knivesstuff]

Awesome! The video with all its angles, music and shots was amazing! Did you have a camera man for some of the shots? The knife is also a work of art :) How many layers did the knife have? Thanks for the video! The best of luck with future projects :) Maarten, 16 years old :)

[@thepapayaman]

anvil could use some serious resufracing :) cool knife

[@eibes]

beautiful. You're talented.

[@scottc977]

Do you "see" the finished knife when you start, or is it a freestyle sometimes

[@陈伊-x3c]

Beautiful ! I don't know how much is this knife?

[@marty01957]

Beautiful Knife!

[@Lyuxus]

What is the name of the scribe instrument that appear in the minute 2:34?

[@Conqueror-94]

What is the powder you put on iron while heating it?

[@TheTomcat23]

Salut, superbe vidéo et bravo l'artiste (cela faisait longtemps que tu n'avais pas fait de vidéo) A très bientôt.

[@hah1738]

nice video, what was the orange stuff you put on the blade?

[@noavailabeusernames5684]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's borax

[@reubenhm]

NoAvailabeUsernames I think it's ferric chloride. It looks as though its the same etchant as he uses to etch the damascus pattern on the blade but I'm not sure. Borax if I'm not mistaken is a white, powdery substance that's used to clean the weld and prevent oxidisation. It's used at around the 50 second mark.

[@Glaswalker1001]

If you talk about the 50s mark, it's most definitiv Borax. It's white, but the glowing metal letzten it look orange.

[@TROLLYEMAK]

doom ferric chloride to get his logo on the knife

[@mistervelvetshoes]

what kind of adhesive are you using to glue the blade into the wooden handle?

[@chrisjollie7240]

Most likely epoxy. I use it and it works great.

[@Wanabesam123]

do you take commissions for these or do you just make them because you want to?

[@ericcartrette6118]

I thought I had seen all of your videos. I missed this one somehow. Beautiful work as usual. Your forge, is it a side draft or a bottom draft? I am about to start building a new side draft forge and I am trying to pay attention to other people's forges to see how they did it.

[@Teodov]

Dobra robota, trzymaj tak dalej!

[@andrewfenhoff1889]

where did u get the filing apparatus

[@minimasakra1]

This knife is great. I have a question. Can you make a throwing knife?

[@h.schmid1965]

Eine saubere Arbeit.

[@machinist_kwt]

What are the type of steel that you used at beginning????

[@moralesfinster]

nicely done mate!

[@RuDyCaM81]

Great video!

[@brxkenarrow5794]

What type(s) of steel did you use here?

[@stretchy0381]

how long did the process take???

[@shomly.7716]

What if allowed Beam- designate of the vernier and used to select the wood and thank you . ...

[@lukeforney5526]

What kind of wood do you burn? Also do you burn anything else like gas to get it so hot??

[@Glaswalker1001]

The wood just gets the coal started.

[@lukeforney5526]

Darius der Rote And is that just normal coals??

[@Glaswalker1001]

Hard to tell. May be charcoal or coke.

[@PaveW]

Luke Forney it's coke, but charcoal is better ;)

[@NKG416]

what do you use?,i mean those metal block,what is that?

[@thecrookedanvil]

Amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@msnet-73]

Żadnego spawania! Ostrzenie na kamieniach wodnych! Nic na szybko. Kto wie, może zaczną mieć japońską dusze ;-)

[@fernandobarrios4318]

ola te hago una pregunta como le hiciste el dibujo en el filo

[@JonasTheLundh]

Very nice blade. I just hope that the stock metal that you cut in the beginning of the video was either very cheap or given to you considering that by the time you're done with it somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of it is just going to be metal dust on your shop floor =P

[@hin727]

Beautiful knife

[@danielivanov3463]

VERY GOOD JOB

[@mjartanmatus2470]

Is your belt grinder homemade or did you buy it?

[@PaveW]

+Matus Mjartan I bought it.

[@joem1413]

I'm not unto knives, but that is beautiful. Id'e be proud to own it.

[@ukaszjankowski1436]

Cześć. Mam pytanie dotyczące wytrawianego logo. Gdzie można zamówić takie naklejki, których używasz?

[@PaveW]

+Łukasz Jankowski Firmy dysponujące ploterem robią takie rzeczy na zamówienie.

[@ukaszjankowski1436]

+Pave Custom Knives Dzięki za wskazówkę.

[@elchschmiede]

ausgezeichnete Arbeit

[@victheoutdoor6221]

great job mate!

[@woodeater4827]

amazing damascus !

[@SugarcreekForge]

Well done!

[@dAYAb207]

Hi Nice your knife TY for this good Time 😉 I can purchase one of your knives ? Pls 😢

[@drmijul]

how can we restore a kukri knife

[@JarvisPatterson01]

Would regular and stainless steel do the job for a combination

[@chrisjollie7240]

God no! Regular steel (mild steel) doesn't harden and hold an edge like carbon steel (the steel he's using in the vid) and as for stainless, good luck trying to harden that. It's a complex process and in the end isn't worth it for all the effort.

[@2Toupourtous]

Very Very nice! Congrats.

[@koulisdag1046]

great work!

[@alialsayed989]

is the steel used stainless steel?

[@PhucThoXC]

Bột rắc lên thép đang rèn là gì, dung dịch để tôi là gì?

[@devinsurratt7183]

What type of acid did you dip the knife in to?

[@PaveW]

ferric chloride III

[@spartan8390]

Very good work!

[@mattiamorati633]

[@christiannixon6977]
