Forging the WORLD'S STRONGEST Knife from Chains!

[@gregoryh4601]

What a Beautiful skinning knife

[@cliffordkelly5327]

Howdy Master Seyran ! That has got to be one of your best Steel-Strong knives ! It has a very high “ring” to it when you punched the starter holes in it ! It’s an awesome little Damascus kitchen “paring knife”, almost like the one that Steven Seagal threw at the kitchen target board in the movie Under Siege ! Well done ! I’m with the other viewers, that would like to see a bit more of your blade sharping technique !!

[@masterknives555]

Thank you! I appreciate that, and I’ll make sure to include a sharpening segment in my next video.

[@Chevelle_addict]

The knife he threw at the target. Looked like a Gil Hibben throwing knife.

Caracas velho, eu nunca me surpreendo com uma faca bem acabada? Toda vez que para para assistir um vídeo seu você entrega uma faca mal acabada com esse grande recurso de metalúrgico que você tem? Faça aí uma obra de arte.

Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário e pela crítica construtiva! Sempre é bom ouvir diferentes opiniões, e eu levo todas elas em consideração para melhorar cada vez mais. Acredito que cada faca é um aprendizado e uma evolução, e fico animado com o desafio de criar algo que possa ser considerado uma verdadeira obra de arte. Espero que nos próximos vídeos você veja algo que te surpreenda positivamente. Um grande abraço e obrigado por assistir! 🔥🔪

[@babyhulk6267]

I can’t figure out how you always come out with a perfect billet and never have any inclusions when you have all that space between the metal when you are forging it

[@masterknives555]

Thank you for noticing the precision in my work! The key to achieving a solid billet without inclusions is proper preparation, intense heat, and good technique. The white powder you often see (borax) helps flux the metal, preventing oxidation and assisting in creating a clean weld. Careful hammering and consistent heat throughout the forging process help close any gaps. It’s a combination of experience, patience, and a little bit of experimentation. 🔨🔥

[@T-bone1950]

You have made a very sturdy and attractive knife. I think it deserves an equally attractive leather sheath, don't you?

[@masterknives555]

Thank you so much! I completely agree-an attractive leather sheath would complement the knife perfectly. A well-crafted sheath not only protects the blade but also adds a touch of elegance. Maybe that's a project for an upcoming video! 😊🔪✨

[@Nobe_Oddy]

That came out beautiful! I just LOVE that you try all kinds of weird objects that I've never seen before.... I've seen chain, but not the shiny type you used... and to put it on that wheel, that was really cool... And then the other day you used NAIL CLIPPERS!!! HAHAAA!!! I really enjoy watching you work... and you camera person is quite good too, very nice stylized shots... like using the mirror... good stuff.... And the shape of this knife was quite different.... I want to say that it looked a little 'chubby' lol short but thick... but the handle does look like it would be good for cutting hard or thick things if the person has big hands.... I really think it looked good tho :) GREAT WORK!!! - I've been wonder where you are located... I've never heard you talk, and the little bit of singing/humming doesn't help me much... I'm going to take a guess that you are located in South Eastern Europe... actually... a country just popped into my head out of nowhere and I heard a voice say Azerbaijan I don't know why tho.... I was really gonna guess Moldova, but for no reason.. I just picked a country I know nothing about..... but looking at the words on the paper you were cutting I wanted to say Turkey but but I have no idea what Turkish words look like LOL .... I'm gonna go to sleep now... I ramble when I get tired lol - Were any of my guesses correct? That would be crazy if so!!! :) See ya soon!

[@masterknives555]

Thank you so much for the kind words and detailed feedback-it really made my day! I’m thrilled you enjoy the creative experiments with unexpected materials like shiny chain and nail clippers! It’s fun to push boundaries and try something different, and hearing your appreciation for both the craft and the filming style is incredibly motivating. 😊 As for your guesses-yes, you nailed it! I’m based in Azerbaijan. Amazing intuition! 🌍 Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comments. Sleep well, and I look forward to having you back for more knife-making adventures! 🔨🔥✂️

[@ericbeeman8717]

If I had equiptment as such I'd be trying ta make this knife I had back in the day it was like a dagger or boot knife but at the tip of tbe blade it was split down the middle almost half way then the rest of the knife had this idk if it's a furrow or what it's called but it was on both sides of the blade called a blood pool small ditch down the center of the blade the knife was called a wasp but I've tried looking that up doesn't even correspond to what I remember now Gil hibbon made one similar but I can't think the name of it now

[@masterknives555]

That sounds like a fascinating and unique blade! The split-tip design you described, combined with the "blood pool" (commonly referred to as a fuller), would definitely make for an eye-catching knife. It might be challenging to find the exact design from memory, especially if it was a custom or rare piece. The name “Wasp” might refer to the knife’s sleek and aggressive appearance, but if Gil Hibben made something similar, it’s worth exploring his collection for inspiration. If I ever get the opportunity, that sounds like an incredible project to attempt-combining creativity with functionality. Thank you for sharing such an intriguing idea! 🔪🔥

[@emmanueljacquemin2695]

Bonsoir super coteaux 👍👍👍

[@robertstevison1448]

Have you thought about taking you drops from different Damascus and forging a knife from the different drops that you have accumulated before brother

[@masterknives555]

That's an interesting idea! Using leftover drops from various Damascus projects to forge a new knife could create a truly unique and intricate pattern. It would be a great way to repurpose materials and showcase the variety of designs in one blade. Thanks for the suggestion-I'll keep it in mind for a future project! 🔥🔪

[@MehemmedMemmedov-l1k]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@joels310]

I think the point is that in metallurgy you have strength, toughness, elasticity among other factors and these things factor into the blade's ability to resist shattering, rolling, corroding, and hold it's edge all the things that make a blade "strong" also factor into the difficulty of sharpening. Steel composition ie it's trace elements, and heat treatment factor greatly as well as the shape of the blade and it's bevel geometry.

[@lloydlicht1302]

Nice blade. It could a little more time on the sharpener, though.
