Your quip about documenting the journey put a quote in my head. Wise words from an unlikely place: Adventure Time. Jake once said: "Sucking at something is the first step towards being sort of good at something." I've kept that one around through the years.

I think its actually 64 layers and not 56. Don't sell yourself short, you had to make starter knives to get some practice. No one starts out an expert. just remember "Practice does not make perfect Practice makes for improvement" ! Keep honing and one day you will impress yourself with just how far you have came. I really dig this one .

I really appreciate that you did a full tang instead of a hidden tang on this build. So many people I see make hidden tangs with a screw-on pommel or end cap and it just seems so flimsy to me, like it's only meant as a display piece. Beautiful blade and I like the contrast with the maple. Now it just needs a suitable sheath.

Absolutely STUNNING!!!! I just LOVE how the pattern is so reminiscent of flames.... maybe you could layer it in a way that you get a gradient that goes from dark to light, like the tips of the 'flames' are either lighter or darker than the damascus pattern.... IDK if you melt down scrap at all, but it's pretty easy to do and fairly cheap to get started... you would save a TON of money on the more 'precious' metals like copper and bronze and aluminum, but the main reason to do it is to make your own alloys and have totally control of the color they end up... it would take some time and good amount of practice, but it's something you might wanna get into as a next step in customizing your work.... you would be able to make different shades of bronze by making aluminum bronze instead of tin and make it darker by adding more copper and less aluminum and this way you have something that is TOTALLY different from everyone else, because I don't see ANYONE doing anything like this I just wanted to put the idea out there, and maybe it'll give you some kind of inspiration :) It really is a beautiful piece

@@natelagrassa9337 not sure what you mean by "full tanto" in this context as thats basically just a blade shape/style. maybe "full tang" meaning the metal from the blade goes all the way through the handle? reasonable is completely subjective though. a well known knife maker could charge thousands for a knife while a newer just a hundred to make it easier to get their name out there. just sort of depends on what the maker feels is fair for their time and materials used. i have some dawson knives in a similar size that i paid ~$500 for. not a 1 off though, theyre hand made but not all by 1 guy so a bit of a different deal.

For higher temp, different colours you can experiment with the bronzes, the silicon, nickel and aluminum bronzes tend to wet and braze better than brass. Because if you're like me, you probably messed around with the leaded brasses and stuff like the A260 cartridge brasses which tend to off-gas a lot of zinc and turn into lava. Especially in mokume gane, which gets compiled at the lowest melting point of all the metals in the stack and its quite low at 900C or thereabouts. So a full 200C lower than copper and it doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room in a forge if you hot-spot it, it all turns to goo

You should make a damascus flatware set. It would be a trip have a nice stainless steel set

Can you possibly tell me what the stuff is that falls off the billet when you are forging the steel? It like flakes off as you forge the steel.

Have you considered using bronze instead of copper? I am not a metallurgist, so I don't know if there would be problems.

@@JPsBladeworks I'm an archaeologist. I've recently become interested in bronze-age blades. A mixing of the old tinned bronze and modern steel just sounds interesting. I'm wondering if the melting point of bronze is a bit higher than raw copper.

Really well done. Gorgeous. Did you choose stock removal over hammering to not get too wild patterns, or is it more due to the copper in the block?
@JPsBladeworks
@JPsBladeworks 2 ай бұрын
It's due to the copper. If I hammer it to shape the copper tends to delaminate and ruin the piece. That's why most if not all makers will forge out their billet then do a stock removal.

@@JPsBladeworks That does make a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation. I am just starting out myself at home and while I do have experience with forge welding, I do not have the experience doing this more delicate work, but I am definitely interested.
