I Wasn't Ready To Use This Steel - Jason Morrissey's Iconic Mosaic Damascus

[@DonNguyenKnives]

Let me know if you guys enjoyed the style of this video, with the voiceover and some of those POV shots. I'm finding that it's a good balance of not interrupting the work flow too much, but still feels natural as I go back with the voiceover, almost like I'm doing a reaction to my own video.

I really like this "DVD Director's Commentary" style of video. The audio sounds relaxed and maybe a little more detailed

[@DawahTrucker2024]

That's a beautiful finish on that blade, the pattern is simply unorthodox and amazing in design and the handle looks amazing as well.

[@jonathanwick8571]

Great knife Don well executed efficient use of materials. and I think the voiceover works.

[@davidmcmutrtey979]

Great video man. And that knife is just bonkers.

[@paullmight42]

[@wandervanhoucke4331]

[@vagitonamik]

That design is so awesome!

[@Stromachache]

I was here..*editing the comment now that I have finished the video. That's a nice knife.

[@captainbud3797]

Another inspirational build, thanks Don

[@ThatWorks]

Thanks for sharing your process! I think you chose the perfect handle approach! Well done!

[@Northknives]

Amazing work Don, really appreciate the tips about diamond dressers and scotch spray mount. I'll have to get some. Cheers

[@dragonwing4ever]

thats a wicked pattern

[@MASI_forging]

Incredible work as always 👍👍

[@psettlement]

I favor this video style because I think more of the process is shown without interruption. I also believe that you are able to make comments that are more accurate because you can make them in a more timely manner, and maybe even correct/add points here and there. Keep it up!

[@noahnipperus7320]

Great comment! I think you said what i was thinking in a more articulate manner, thank you!

[@richshackelford5793]

That’s a Beauty

[@Logan.H.L]

Yeah I like the style of video very calming

[@DonNguyenKnives]

@@Logan.H.L thanks homie!

[@noahnipperus7320]

This video kinda felt like how a good "interlude" feels! Great job dude

[@DonNguyenKnives]

Now that's a compliment. Thank you very much.

This makes me want to modify my disk sander to make it horizontal.

[@GibsonCutlery]

Epic.

Yippee 😍

21:00 What grit range/media do you find good for renewing with the diamond file?

[@DonNguyenKnives]

I'm not really sure it matters, something coarse around 200-400 grit would probably work. The stuff I use for the grinding belts is a lot more coarse, that feels like 80-120 grit.

👏👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

3M Super 77 should help adhere your sandpaper. It's tacky for a few minutes, and dries much stronger.

[@DonNguyenKnives]

@@fm114fd I was not a fan of 77 at all, it dries way too strong. What I want is an adhesive that has enough shear strength so the sheet doesn't come off, but is easily replaceable.

[@noahnipperus7320]

I thought the move for disks was applying paste wax to the platen, letting it fully dry, and then applying adhesive of choice to the disks
