Why would you put iron in it, you do know you can’t harden Iron right unless you melt it and turn it into steel first, you don’t have to re-can it 5160 and the powder you used both get very hard lol do some research watch Jay Neilson

[@GreenBeetle]

Wait what do you mean you can’t harden iron? All my knives are made of iron!!! Oh, NOOOOOOO!!!!

[@robertdailing4836]

Why did you just use piece of exhaust pipe

[@marcjohnson7734]

I think it's the imperfections that make the piece perfect! Who wants uniform mass produced looks? Great work👌

[@ColdHawk]

One day, after an exciting series of events around my bush league, amateur-of-amateurs backyard forge, I came back into the house to get a new pair of trousers, swearing like I haven’t since I was in my twenties. My wife raised an eyebrow and asked me if that was the end of “trying out your new hobby?” I said no, with little grace and stomped upstairs to figure out which were the least flammable pieces of clothing I owned. A week later I received an early birthday gift from my kind, elegant and understated wife. It was a mug that reads, “Blacksmithing is like riding a bike, except the bike is on fire, you are on fire, everything is on fire!” It will remain one of my most prized possessions.

[@GreenBeetle]

heheheh i need one of those

[@TalRohan]

Your lady has a lovely sense of humour

[@Onetruescotty]

"I tried to weld them back together on the anvil, the result being the production of a third piece" Haven't laughed like that in a while, thanks boss

[@ChiroMommy82]

Very cool, I’m a second gen carpenter (a real one, not a framer or trim guy) and have always appreciated and admired metal work. Especially knives. I have to many kids and not enough time to learn a new craft, so, I truly enjoy watching the short version of your work. Keep going. 30 yrs on wood working has taught me there is no end to learning your craft.

[@actuallylobster4911]

"On account of being on fire" very valid reason... I forgive you

[@robotslug]

[@kimcurtis9366]

Even with your ladder pattern attempt, I REALLY like the randomness of the springs! It adds an element of depth that grabs me.! Very nice knife! Thanks for posting!

[@fredwebb3603]

Absolutely Beautiful, Thank You for sharing!

[@eneshadziric9961]

That knife design is AWSOME

[@raxamonbathory8633]

Beautiful product. The imperfections only make it more unique.

Perfect knife made of springs just in time for this spring weather!

[@dongordon5154]

What a relaxing video...true Artisan at work!! No need telling you how cool that is...you know!! What a skill!!!!!

[@Imustfly]

She's a byoot !! Fascinating to watch you work. I've never forged ANYTHING outside of metal shop in high school,...and that was 45 years ago. You've got a great delivery style,...thank you for sharing.

The birth of 1000 layer Damascus Steel: "oh, I messed up" *folds it and reforges it* "oh, I messed up again".. Rense and repeat. love it.

[@jacobmorgan1182]

One thing I love about metal it's very forgiving to work with some times

This knife is beautiful I'm a retired butcher and I would love to own this beauty.Good job and thank you for your efforts and showing us the process.

[@beezo2560]

The knife turned out great. Very unique pattern. But, that's why I'm subscribed to your channel. I get to see works that others wouldn't try. Keep pressing on.

[@elzorro9987]

Nice looking knife. It's great to see a creator doing some experimentation, taking some chances, and sharing the results with the viewer.

[@monkeyprince5480]

Spectacular! Definitely not mad about that little speck. 😉

[@mykstreja8648]

After watching Part 1 I had little faith in your success. Wow! What a difference! You should be very proud of yourself. That mole adds character to the overall knife. Leave it be. Good work.

[@davindamico1759]

....... MOLY MOLY MOLY MOLY.... sorry, everytime i gotta get it out!

[@slackjaw703]

Definitely one of my faves! Love the patterning! Really turned out spectacular. I was having my doubts after round one but you pulled it off. Just looks great.

[@alocin110]

You are a genuine artist. Your finished product has done a great commentary without words. Great job!

[@kmed3526]

Worried about that small of a spot on the handle? If ever there were a perfectionist, you're it bro! IMPRESSIVE and MARVELOUS work! Just beautiful!

[@willp2042]

This is not a knife but an ART created by your good hands...love it

[@Soupcan13]

Dang that came out insanely nice. Super clean work. Very cool watching the process

[@wizerd5150]

great job bro . I would be proud to carry that knife !

[@thegoldennugget59]

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship

[@RSHastingsIV]

Awesome of you for leaving in the missteps for others to learn from. Too many of these shows cut out the bloopers, only ever showing perfect results... which just doesnt reflect the reality of any trade. Again, thank you for two awesome videos.

[@SEND_ME_FUN_FACTS]

Love the Vids and look forward to whenever they come out!

[@heydenlabelle513]

The blade looks like a myriad of tortured souls twisting and writhing in agony. Great job.

[@georgschenkfilm]

Heyden Labelle well said, but i‘m glad i had other associations..

[@r2steve2]

That's a nice pattern for canister Damascus! I realize now another step I can take with canister which includes cutting and stacking the final stage to make it the second to final stage. I really need a power hammer for setting welds! Great job!

[@bohicagamin5798]

Simply amazing! A work of art. You ended up with some nice patterns in the blade.

[@willspicer3190]

Love Green Beetle. Originally seen ya make the "GT40 Inspired" knife on "Velocity Dispatch". Awesome they aired one of your projects. Keep up the good work brotha

[@hackprine5691]

[@blackironforge2879]

Great work. Good call putting that 1084 on the edge.

It's a beautiful blade, very talented! I was expecting to see springs in the blade in a more pronounced way. Still a cool blade!

[@TheWarnack]

Very good video as always, but i have a question , which metal do you use to avoid slag ? :) do you have a reference ?

[@Victory987]

Does this mean it's Spring Loaded?

[@MrHellmod]

The little black spot in the handle just adds character, every damascus is like a fingerprint. Unique in it's own way, why shouldn't the handle have the same, dont sweat the little things. And please keep up the amazing work.

[@mattthompson5663]

Impressive work! Thanks for adding some explanation about your process. Great video.

[@Duschbag]

Mr. Beatle, How might one purchase one of your "low quality" hand made Damn Fine hand made knives..? I enjoyed your video.

Bad things can happen, when you are on FIRE. 🔥

[@louisbrou4061]

Wow ,what a craftsman. A work of art

[@icecreamtruckog3667]

Why not just stretch the springs out and forge weld them together. Then after the forge weld just twist the bar for a interesting pattern.

[@tomecalm7]

Try not to think of it as a black spot. Think of it as a beauty mark.

[@GryteselvFPV]

[@siltstrider0]

Haha. well said.

[@hudsonsteele1674]

"Won't be noticed on a galloping horse, honey." That's what my Aunt Bernice would say...

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

Seriously. Don’t worry about a near microscopic dot! Take it from a perfectionist: don’t be a perfectionist. You’re the only one that will ever notice that. If you didn’t point it out, I guarantee you, we would have NEVER seen it. It’s micarta for heavens sake. That’s part of the character of the material and what it takes to work it as a craftsman. Which you are; a true craftsman.

[@Gam3B0y23r0]

@@JohnSmith-gs4lw as perfectionist myself, it's easy to give advices like this. following them yourself, is totally differet thing tho.. also other thing is, if you leave many small errors like that, overall quality of the piece would suffer.. maybe this one is not noticable, but if there were many it would have been..

[@fishpest2039]

Gorgeous blade detail and the handle looks superbly comfortable, your detailing is masterful, what a talent

Catching on fire should be an almost daily occurrence in his line of work. Surprised it bothered him so much. New welding gloves would stop that. On his hands at least

Yeah the worst that happens is you scrap your skin a little. Its not so dangerous here but at a rotary sander or something with a guard your hand can get sucked in and you can loose a big chunk of skin.
