Making Nebula Damascus Skeleton knife from bearing steel ball

[@brysonalden5414]

Doing this without adding powdered steel to the canister must have been a heck of a challenge! I didn't expect it would work as well as it obviously did, congratulations in a super build!

[@aetherseraph]

It seems to me the key to getting it to work as well as it did was to allow the canister to forge weld to the exteriors of the ball bearing billet. Putting Ti02 inside the can would have prevented it from adhering to the canister and made the task of welding the balls together without filler material a wonky mess.

My thoughts exactly.... In the first 10second of the video i was shock

[@kennycavanaugh5191]

@brink666 my thoughts exactly and came to say the same exact thing. You can not get that pattern weld without 2 different types of metals so there is no way in this world he made the pattern look like that without a 2nd type of metal which the one he had forged out looked good so why fake the ending have no idea. Also I was shocked to see the first pass on the can he sqeezed down from the top really hard to where it almost blew it out and never seen that one before but good on him if it worked just wonder where he got the metal to make the blade bc I seen cpl patterns like that before on here by other smith's so wonder if he bought a bar for stock removal lol

[@kennycavanaugh5191]

​@HansKnives it's not ignorance you literally can't make a Damascus design with only 1 type of metal. If they are Nickle or whatever its still 1 type of steel and it would weld as a solid bar regardless of what ignorance your referring to it can not it will not ever work without a 2nd type of steel/ metal ro separate the bearings. Seen this pattern at least 5 times on here and every single one but him used powdered steel and never one time did they ever squeeze it that hard from the top and tell you you can't do that but hey it's others ignorance right for calling out a fake video. He made a nice bar to begin with so why try and make ppl belive he actually made that steel

[@PotionSlammerGaming]

The guys got a mill, no challenge at all

[@polisheverything1970]

Wow the patternation on this was amazing, simply stunning work.

[@shahruzpakzad8603]

One of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen for sure. Thank you very much. ♥️

[@jackvanzeeland2368]

That is a BEAUTIFUL blade. The pattern is almost mesmerizing

[@wjspade]

I’m gonna try this. I wanna resaw the billet into thirds, then twist & book match the middle section, and restack them. I think it’d be cool to have a variation between the pattern of the blade and the tang. This video got my creative juices flowing, thanks!

My new favorite pattern I didn't know about!! I would love a wood axe and maul with this pattern 😍

[@jonbottoms8988]

Shurap has done this. This is my favorite pattern on knives. Genius that you used the mill to remove the canister. I wish I owned a press I would make my own. Excellent work!

[@fnafplayer6447]

Except Hans adds handles

[@HansKnives]

The hydraulic press was made by me. Thank you for your support.

[@murk_yo]

@@HansKnives Would you consider making a video showing the press and what you learned from doing it? Or if you followed a guide or schematic, could you point us to the right direction? I've been collecting a bunch of blueprints for it and weighing pros and cons of different designs - yours looks very well thought out!

[@soponyaihunor]

Beautiful job! Masterclass handcrafting!

[@danielstellmon5330]

This is the first time I have seen a blacksmith cut the canister off. Usually I see people paint the can inside white or use another sacrificial material that will not weld. I now wonder about the pros and cons to each approch.

[@HansKnives]

Because the container is too long and is directly detached from the container, poor welding will occur because there are only steel balls in the container. My approach was more cumbersome. Each has its pros and cons, and there are different choices available in different situations.

[@wjspade]

@@HansKnives If you have access to a mill, this is the only way to do it! Grinding and/or cutting the can off is always a pain. @danielstellmon5330 Since there’s no powdered steel filling in the gaps, you’ve really gotta compress this all the way through or you’ll have nasty inclusions through the middle of the billet. Forge welding the can to the BBs is the only way I can see this working without powdered steel, so a sacrificial layer in between would be counterproductive.

[@aboudkalish]

I'm Syrian and one of the things Damascus used to be famous for is it's very unique knives So honor to me to see someone abroad making such knives ❤ Damascus is the capital of Syria BTW

[@ichbinmartin]

Damascus is the capital of Syria BTW.... Really? Until now we thought that captal of Syria is New York!

[@aboudkalish]

​ @ichbinmartin HaHaHa so funny, I didn't know my city is so famous ,so It's unnecessary piece of information. if you are so upset I can delete it for you honey 😆

[@ichbinmartin]

@@aboudkalish It was joke and I am happy that you are typican syrian man with sense for jokes. I was in Syria in 2010, of course also in Damascus (and other cities). Beautiful city!

[@aboudkalish]

​@@ichbinmartin all love and mercy you and all people are so welcomed in Syria ❤❤🤗😘

[@jefflyon100]

The arra around Syria was famous for its wootz damascus. It's a far more impressive process than what you see here, it was a far better metal than anything else of its time. It's an entirely different process, look it up. Attempts to recreate the original process is getting a bigger following every year. The original method is lost to time. This is just pattern welded steel using plated high carbon steel bearings....

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

A beautiful blade! The final coffee etch truly sets off the Damascus pattern. (Bonus points for rocking the Toy Machine sticker on the bandsaw!) Keep doing what you do 👍‼️
