How sharp will a knife made of a metal chain turn out? Damascus steel surprises

In this video, we'll be testing a Damascus steel knife to see how sharp it is made. We'll be surprised at how sharp it is!
Damascus steel is a type of steel that is made from two different types of metal. The two metal layers are randomly put together, which makes for a very sharp blade. If you're wondering how sharp a knife made of a metal chain will turn out, watch this video to find out!

Brillante trabajo y la reutilización del material noble.....espero que el libro sobreviva.. gracias 🇨🇱👍📔

I will forever see that grinder-mounted saw blade in my nightmares. Lovely knife though!

[@gtcazusa]

it was fkin awesome. manly

[@Tarbashh]

Bro, that thing gave me conniptions. lmao

[@Chase-fk1kc]

This dude makes nice stuff. It just kills me that he doesn’t ever wear enough PPE. I guess he’s always got his safety squints on.

[@jjd1983]

Ya, why bother with the apron at this point 😂

[@andyc750]

timing chain so it is high carbon steel and will harden and sharpen very easily, making it into a billet however is not so easy

[@Whitebrowpriest]

That's a very cool damascus pattern! I wish you could've did a coffee soak to really make that pattern pop!

[@jochenwandiger9123]

Das ist so ein tolles Messer 🔪 und als Handwerker/ Schmied ganz großes Kompliment. Toll 👍👍👍👍

[@roeberdt-bT.1021]

"absolutely gorgeous" ...thank you for the post, absolutely appreciated.,...

[@MichaelBurke-f2p]

I have watched several of your knife videos and you make some great knifes but damn you're dangerous. Can't believe you still have both your eyes and all your fingers!

[@ruud8428]

You should participate in "forged in fire". You would win every episode! Great work!

[@cesarjulioneripereiracesar5864]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rc-daily]

Not necessarily. The show puts people under stresses that they normally don't encounter. You have to think those guys are punching put knives in 5 hours or less. That's not the case here. Some of these takes a week or more. Guy is obviously skilled and knows his way around though and would likely fair just fine.

Nice work. I'm surprised he has any fingers left though. All the non guarded blades being used free hand 😮

*This is brilliant. Wonderful mind and skill to do it. Bravo.* 🔥💚

[@techgirl517]

The pattern of this damascus are beautiful 😍

[@dennisgauck7526]

Beautiful work, your choice of materials are spot on- that timing chain is a hard and tough material 👍

[@alexmarin913]

Excelente trabajo, ahora una consulta....como se llama ese polvo blanco y para que sirve??

[@wattsmith2656]

This is just a guess, but I think it's flux, probably borax. Forgive my poor spanish Este solo una adivina, pero pienso esse es flux. Borax probalamente.

[@Katan-i7i]

I loved the little sparkler your knife had. Absolutely fantastic. Keep it going!

[@snow_tacknives2024]

Seems like a lot of work and wasted chain steel for that size of knife, I would have used some high carbon 52100 into the mix. I mostly do stock removal knives but I've forged a few as well and I don't use near that much borax as you did. 20+ years being a professional brick and block mason those skills flowed over nicely into forging for me. But I find stock removal rewarding as well. Your beveling technique was interesting, I just don't get why you just didn't hammer forge the beveling? This video has inspired me to do a forging video! I got some super high carbon round bar stock I found at a oil well site, did a spark test on it and its some high quality steel!

Nice welding gloves.

[@kyproset]

Beautiful work. As I know nothing about it but enjoy watching your videos, please tell me what is that powder you sprinkle over the forging and what is its purpose. Thank you.

[@shadetreeforging]

I used a similar chain before. Transfer case chain out of my Jeep. I just welded a long piece together and forged it out and folded it once. Turned out pretty good

[@larryunderwood1148]

I love your work!! How much for this knife? Id like to purchase.

[@lewgriffinknives216]

Great video 🔥

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Super jest ten cały nóż zrobiony pozdrawiam mile i serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MechMonster]

Have you thought about taking all your random Damascus pieces and making Damascus from them?

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I’d be willing to bet that he has already done something similar to what you described

[@eight2one]

smart and economical in a sense.. nice content ❤

[@cheddardavis5818]

Zero ppe real smart lol

[@MemoryDestiny]

I love your work, but that sawblade scared the shit out of me, I have nightmares of it haha

[@jenggowl]

[@AlfonzoCam]

Great skills bro.

[@jimpartridge9634]

Great work. The lack of safety is a little jarring. The only step left to make it less safe is to do it nude.

[@Daniel666f]

Great job but that saw would be a no go

[@brucew212gamer4]

That saw is so dangerous, makes me cringe every time 😂

[@amitbhattachariya9357]

You are very innovative.

[@beanieweenie9543]

He does nice work but not really innovative. Blacksmiths have been making knives from chains and other misc. metals for years.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Every material that man has made has been used to make a knife

[@jdog7575]

What is the white powder used

[@tutrong31]

have the same question

[@miedc_cz896]

I actually like that knife would like to have it

[@thevalorousdong7675]

This place has the "back at the shop with pops and big bro" vibes, i love it

[@Scraggmyster]

What’s that white powder you’ve put on it Is it to bond the metal together

[@canadiancustomcockers6377]

Welding with rubber gloves. No glasses or face shield. No guards. This guy is a walking safety hazard.

[@boznorris527]

You're like scarface with the borax 😂 wicked knife as always though

[@gersonmendez-e2o]

what its the white powder that he applied on the hot metal? que es el polvo blanco que aplica en el metal caliente?

[@mattnobrega6621]

Another amazing video 🫡👍

[@PaulGriffin-ox1gp]

You should always develop the whole knife including the handle just to see the pattern throughout. I'm a high end knife collector and we look to see the pattern under the scales if they can be removed and then reattach then after inspection. We like to make sure we get what we pay for. Even if I still made knives I'd try to destroy a lot of what I intended to sell or give away.

[@RB-jf5ww]

Where are you located? It almost looks like some place I have been

[@ГеоргичКоржев]

👍👍👍👍👍. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Can8ian.]

Beautiful work! Not much for safety precautions though are you. You are obviously highly skilled, it would be a shame if you got hurt and couldn't do this anymore.

[@cameronrd1]

lets buy this guy a face shield

[@kokosnusskaka]

Dude, I enjoy your channel very much. But please put some eye protection on you and the guard on the grinder. dont risk your health so needlessly.

Pretty!

[@jeffmccrea9347]

In 1978, I accidently laid my left thumb onto the top of a spinning table saw blade slicing the inside side of it off. Forty six years later, I still have nightmares of that day. When I saw how close his fingers came to that unguarded saw blade when cutting that handle wood, I almost threw up.

[@BatuhanYlmaz-zy9wu]

What is the white powder?

[@SachsVDE]

Borax..👍

[@beanieweenie9543]

It’s borax used as a flux it protects the metal from forming scale and other contaminants impurities

Интересная работа мастера. Но, часть операций с нормализацией после закалки металла не показаны. Далее обкладки на ручку закреплены только на алюминиевую проволоку? Склеивание не показано.

[@madbludbekilhav9302]

What is that stuff he sprinkles on the hot metal?

[@waltervonoer9190]

Borax as a flux to exclude the oxygen. But the blacksmith uses way too much of the stuff. 20% of the amount would have been enough.

[@User00113hsg]

ผงเชื่อมบอแร็ก

[@MrMadkaw400]

You should oil the blade at the end to show the pattern better

[@theguywithone]

The answer is, it depends on who is sharpening it, and how. I have carbon steel knives that I can fillet paper with. Any reasonably hard metal can be made razor sharp if sharpened correctly.

[@DeKDoY103]

wow

[@peterclinch1191]

Great job yet again 👏 ive never seen anyone use borax in anywhere near the quantities you do though 😂 but cant fkn argue with the results so whatever works hey.

I am not sure what amazes me more... the knife or the fact you still have 10 fingers :P
