Dude, the white images used to illustrate how the Damascus was coming together worked brilliantly. I'm sure that as the craftsman you see all the flaws as bright as day, but as a consumer, as a knife collector, I think the knife came out looking incredible. Truly gorgeous.

Then you have real blacksmiths who refuse to have any machines exept a air compressor for the forge and a angle grinder to cut the iron/steel. Propperly hand forging pattern welded steel isen't hard, just takes time. And if you have to use a welder then you are cheating. Like my old master used to say. "Learn how to forge properly and you will need less powertools" And i agreed. Our ansestors dident need a tig welder or power tools, and neither do we. We have lost tutch whit the joy and pride of craftmanship.

@@mr-x7689 While I understand the 'purity' point, unless you are for some reason bent over the stop about it, as you apparently are, or you are working somewhere demonstrating the old craft, I don't see that it matters. Forcing what matters to you on someone else is just silly, frankly. I would also point out that using modern tools (maybe short of CNC, anyway) in NO WAY precludes craftsmanship. Most of the things that are made in modern society, a forge would get you absolutely nowhere, including consumer hardware items, and there, yes, there is utilitarian design, but not much craft, excepting maybe in the tools that make them. I am an engineer, and there is 'craft' far beyond what you are speaking to here. Just sayin'.

Absolutely NOTHING moronic about needing pictures! I used to design for the aerospace industry, and the initial output, where follow on production was intended, was usually a working prototype (or several), and MASSIVE format specified or format approved documentation to facilitate further builds. Sometimes that wasn't the intent, when just proof of principle or demonstration/ validation, but even there serious paperwork, schematics/ mechanical drawings/parts lists/tech documentation/etc. was produced, though sometimes at a reduced requirements level (all that doc is EXPENSIVE). Occasionally, the final production contractor chosen was NOT the company that designed the hardware, especially if the program was initially laid out as such, so it had to be complete and accurate to allow that smooth transfer of responsibilities, if another company the govt felt could do the job adequately underbid and won that phase. There, documentation was considered a serious portion of the end product, without it, a complex design would be useless. They don't pay to have it engineered to have it later reverse engineered, although I worked one that involved a bit of that...not production, just further prototyping as a sub, I suspect intended to do exactly that, verify the documentation quality.

If you ever decide to go with a Press, which I finally decided to do this year. I chose ‘Coal Iron Works’ ~ 16 Ton Forging Press. Absolutely incredible! I’ve had my Press about 3 months or so, and it’s completely changed the shop. The time it takes to move metal is unbelievable. It’s definitely been a game changer in what I’m able to accomplish, especially for customers. It’s certainly a great investment. When you’re finished using it, just roll it aside out of the way! They even delivered it FREE OF CHARGE! It’s certainly a case by case decision, but I felt I needed one and I could not be happier! Keep up the Great Work!!!

I do not know, as I came across him using the foil for the first time and by his results thought it to be a good idea. Stainless steel does not forgeweld if oxygen is present. If you do not weld shut your canister (a good idea to avoid it maybe blowing up) then I would think it would work. Also there is tons of scale on the inside of his canister so again that would prevent sticking.

Imagine a damascus equisite corpse, each smith takes it in turns to add to the pattern in some way, before returning the bar to square and sending it to the other smith, after 4 goes a blade gets made from the billet and the mystery pattern is revealed...oh and neither smith knows how the billet has been changed by the other one I bet you'd get a really cool pattern....or a mess, either way sounds like fun

LordTeaOfBiscuits I would love to see something like that, however you would have to start with a fairly large billet.

They’re both on the same side of the pond now so someone needs to make road trip. Or they could both head to North Carolina and meet up with Liam Hoffman for a forgefest.

I do not have the words (or money) to say how much I would love a blade like this! holy crap that is amazing!! I'm JUST getting into making my own bushcraft style like knife. I'm saving pennies to get a large bench vice and a some grinding wheels, and sand paper, once I have that I'm going to head down to metal mart and grab some kind of steel that would be good for making a blade and botch my way through it with 3-4 tools. Love your work man, if you ever want to sell one like that let me know!!

I'm in NZ and a few folk make their own knives from saw wheels, from lumber yards. The really big ones. I've had a couple as a chef and they were beautiful. Do it.

I never in my wildest dreams thought a knife could look so beautiful. Being that you were limited the size basted on the fact that you did it by hand. I would love to see what you could do with more/better equipment like a hydraulic hammer.

This is stunning. Feather Damascus is the _only_ type of Damascus that I like, the rest of it has never appealed to me whatsoever. Big props for taking us through this process, it was very informative and riveting to watch.

You can improve your welding an amazing amount by simply chipping your slag after every weld. By not doing so you risk slag inclusions in your work

Really grat looking knives, love the pattern! I think a little upgrade for your shop would be an old salt shaker for your borax, I have one im my workshop too and it works just much better than a spoon and its saving lots of Borax.

Another way to save borax is to sand off the surfaces, and use less borax.
