I Turned Steel Cable into Damascus Knife

This project was aimed toward a twisted Damascus pattern with cable in the middle. All in all, it did not come out how I'd like it, plus the cutting edge does not have up to standard steel, so I would consider this blade a fail.

Thank you KZbin reccomended I was not aware I liked blacksmithing videos but now I am

[@TannerMAN101]

I think it looks good. Keep it going.

[@FLbeachboater]

Looks good! Not a fail, but a learning curve. What you did learn will make the next one better. Recycle it. Fix it, put an edge on it, send it to me, and look like it could be a good boot knife or edc low profile carry. Put it on a belt buckle. Not a fail. Cool video. Good luck on the next one.

[@BladeLuxeTV]

Totally, Definitely worth making it to learn from

[@Sorotan.]

your work is extraordinary

[@BladeLuxeTV]

Thank you

[@terrystewart2457]

Im actually liking the patten very much. Its very unique and I feel like it turned out better than you feel. I know artists like what they deem perfection in their work but never forget perfect is the enemy of good. Someone, like me, likes it even if you dont. Good work, stay after it.

[@Ari-pw6nu]

Heartbreaking. But, quality come with sacrifice and dedication. Great video.

[@brianbassett4379]

Why disappointed? I think it's beautiful work.

I've known for a while what flux is and why it's used...but this is the first time anyone's mentioned what it is chemically. Thanks.

I like the look of it. Woodgrain , elvish blade

Every great inventor will tell you. I dont know the best way to make something but i can tell you every other way not to. Keep trying and one day, you will have the same experience, if not better than others.

[@minecraftnoob-vu3ye]

Too bad you couldn’t finish it, but it still looks really cool! Maybe it could be decorative?

[@BladeLuxeTV]

definitely

[@Youcantpunchmagic]

I can’t believe I watched this whole thing just for him to say at the end that he didn’t finish because it sucked

[@jimmyz9666]

[@Robpearceknives]

I bought some 1.5” plow steel wire rope last year. I’m looking forward to trying it. Plow steel is supposed to be 1095 from what I’ve read.

[@joshlego4775]

Wire is the hardest Sh*t EVER to get solid welds. Id rec MIG'ing literally everything to keep it together as best as ya can. The strands separate under heat a whole lot. I've never had any success without a press and corner squaring dyes to make it stay together. Its rough dude! but gooooooooodluck to ya brother.

[@mujionomujiono6954]

Menggunakan metode pelintir. Proses yang bagus

[@brandonmousseau2020]

Badass as always. Before hydraulic presses, it must have taken months if not years, to make something like this. Stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

[@Wildkirblet]

hand hammers are actually a lot faster than most people realize. a good blacksmith in those days could probably forge this in a few weeks

[@brandonmousseau2020]

@Wildkirblet thanks for responding. That's very interesting. You have an incredible skill bro.🙏🇺🇲

[@bloodgout]

It usually took a few days for the forging. Treadle hammers have been around for a long time but before that they used apprentices and even their wives as strikers. What took time was the grinding and the making of the hilts. Scabbards took time as well. Different craftsmen did that work, though.

[@Life107.9]

When it cools it looks like a barbecued rib

Yummy

@BladeLuxeTV what press do you use? Like Make/Model???

[@BladeLuxeTV]

I made my own, the hydraulic ones are like a few grand. mines just a 20 ton pneumatic car jack with framing around it.

[@xxgo0kst3rxx]

Was it because you twisted then you layered again.. and lost the pattern?

[@darrenwerner1829]

Its to bad the weld didn't go as planned but still very cool looking. Make another one. If it comes out like this but actually welded don't polish it. Very unique look to that knife.

[@BladeLuxeTV]

Thank you…. Didn’t come out as I thought it would but I’ll definitely do it again and change up the steps

[@ocold-gp3oi]

Your finishing work would've been a TON easier if you'd waited to quench it till you'd had it fully ground down

[@Teddy-vv9iz]

The white stuff is bauxite, to help melt the steel. I could be wrong.

[@Ubermensch19721]

It’s borax flux. It prevents oxidation

[@Craftsman362]

nice

[@BladeLuxeTV]

nice

[@plainsman]

OK, great. What can you harden it to? How long will it hold an edge? Is it brittle, or have a tendency to edge chip? How easy or difficult is it to resharpen?

[@maryjane-hc6jt]

Maybe it came out wrong because of all the cocaine you sprinkled on it 💁‍♂️😂

[@BennyCFD]

Fantastic Blacksmithing...................However that is absolutely not in anyway shape or form Damascus, it's forge welded.

Has a red box piece of metal ever flipped back and hit you?

[@BladeLuxeTV]

No I don’t think so but I get burned all the time

[@mykelengieza7057]

White stuff is salt, I think..it melts at the right temp to forge or whatever.. saw it on FORGE IN FIRE

[@Jaizizzizi]

The white stuff is borax

[@Jaizizzizi]

And it’s used to prevent oxidation

[@jonathanguillen9061]

Pense que el cuchillo iva a ser mucho mas grande

[@scolee6408]

Cute

[@AlbiAg-ue6pq]

is it salt ?

[@bateman2112]

It's flux. Many smiths will just use borax (found in the laundry detergent aisle of most grocery stores). There's a variety of things you can use like that.

Finnish your knife. Many more mistakes to be made on fittings and handle. Keep it and review it. To remind you how far you have come.

I still thought the pattern was cool. If ot was a better material id have loved to buy it.

[@BladeLuxeTV]

It looks alright, I just thought the pattern would be different, but just experimenting I guess

Alot of material was used and wasted. Good try though. Forge welding is an art. Not everyone can do it. Especially me. I know I would mess it up.

[@MrAustrokiwi]

Its not damascus => its forge welded. true Damascus is a crucible steel ( with trace amounts of vanadium in it)

Do you want a gold medal for pedantry?

It seems like there are too many processes that are useless, and I don't think the results are perfect

Let’s see your process and see how it turns out

Are people not allowed to just create things for fun? It doesn't have to be perfect.
