Been awhile since I asked lol. Do you think you could do Connor McLeod's katana from the original Highlander movie. And you video is awesome, and I want that slice lol / And a Bayonet from the revolutionary war would be cool

[@d33b33]

@@Get_Bent_79 That katana was Ramirez' (Sean Connery) sword. The real, screen used sword was sold in 2016 for US$10,880.00. Russell Mulcahy (movie director) has The Kurgan's modular Zweihander. He is not selling. Both are hand forged custom pieces, that katana is a 200 fold with a gorgeous hamon. Me, I vote for the Prince of Persia Sands Of Time dagger (2010). A lesser film but a more suitable platform for that spectacular pattern and that amount of steel. PS: I would wear that slice on a string on my wrist and drive my best friend, who has just finished his smithing course, absolutely insane.

I want that slice. I think this mosaic billet would look lovely as a modern tactical tomahawk. Nice rigid lines, simple geometry. That pattern plus some heat bluing would be gorgeous.

[@Shaennamun]

"I want that slice" Love your teams work, also love how you support other smith's and show them off on your channel.

[@FenrirAldebrand]

I mean, having this video be 7 months old, the slice has probably already been given away, but I absolutely love the work that you and Ilya do! Keep it up! ❤

[@patrickdonahue2234]

I want that slice. I'd suggest a Seax for the design. It's a long blade that will show off the super cool pattern.

[@Merennulli]

It's a beautiful pattern on that slice, congrats to whoever wins it.

[@ThatWorks]

You are too kind

[@liveware3926]

I want that slice! New damascus patterns are always incredible and what you've come up with looks really cool!

[@F0XD1E]

I want that slice! Nice work! Looks beautiful. What's Ilya up to these days? Haven't seen him in a yt video in a bit.

Man that pattern is absolutely gorgeous, it turned out fantastic. I know I want that slice!

[@stephenthomas8312]

Always a pleasure to see what you and Ilya are cooking up in the shop. Can't wait to see what's in store for this block. And of course, I want that slice!

[@LordBaktor]

I think that pattern would be cool on some sort of pretty wide blade or an axe head or something where you can see a good chunk of the pattern in the end.

[@asgorathalpha8316]

I want that slice It looks so cool. I love watching people make stuff. And it was you who started that back when you were on MaA.

I want that slice!!! Awesome work dude. I have some projects that I've left for years too. Need to get back to them! Videos like this are great motivation tbf

[@dmen89]

I want that slice! While I think that you make marvelous blades, I think it's been a while since we saw something more tool like, albeit something with quite the surface area to show off the pattern. So I think something like a drawknife, hatchett, tomahawk perhaps? Alternatively some kitchen utensil like a ladle or spatula? A ladle especially would show how much the pattern can blow up and how the detail can vary along certain curves...

[@wipeout221032]

I want that slice! It's such a cool and unique pattern.

Good luck! Thank you!

[@vvXlolXvv]

I want that slice! The star pattern came out really nicely, I also love the concept of finishing up old projects, could really do with some of that myself xD

[@IMGrasstopher]

Man I was thinking about this just like a week or so ago, thinking maybe I missed what happened to this thing. I thought that the original billet looked so FREAKIN' gorgeous, I'm so glad to see you revisit it. I think like a small finger two finger knife would be awesome but I wouldn't blame you for making something much larger to really show off that pattern. Oh and my obligatory "I Want That Slice"!

[@ThatWorks]

Like honestly? You remembered this pattern ?

[@IMGrasstopher]

@@ThatWorks yeah! It was probably the first video on this channel I ended up watching when I finally discovered you guys moved over here after the Man at Arms situation. Damascus is always fun and all but it can get a bit repetitive, I didn't even know the Mosaic stuff was even a THING and was just awestruck by that star. It was like straight out of space!

[@ThatWorks]

@@IMGrasstopher Yea mosaic can seem like true magic!

[@noneyabidness9644]

Still working on the handles and scabbards of years-long projects. 🤣😂🤣 Good news is, they're almost done. Two blades need etching, one needs more shaping, one blade is done, but needs the scabbard finished. One needs a handle and sheath, and all need to have a finish polish. (The most tedious of all processes.) Like a turtle, slow and steady. And if you send me that slice, I'll find a way to incorporate it into one of my several semi-finished projects. 🤣 I like the pattern and think it would look amazing as machined fittings.

[@Prakuza]

That pattern is gorgeous. I want that slice. I'd also love to see that starburst pattern as a knife, something thick you could take hunting.

[@ThatWorks]

That is prob the direction I am going with this first piece. I have plenty more of the billet.

[@nathanjensen7825]

This pattern is going to look amazing no matter what it gets turned into but i think I'd definitely most like to see those stars running down a sword blade where they can really shine. Not sure exactly what kind of sword but maybe since its such a unique piece of steel maybe something that we haven't really seen you make before. Also I WANT THAT SLICE

[@MelSavageKiller]

It would be fitting to turn at least a part of this billet into a shooting star, right? Or something star related such as a Sextant... @ThatWorks what do you think?

[@Lungorthin666]

I WANT THAT SLICE, PAPA STAGMER

[@arnthedragonborn8306]

I'd love to see that billet turn into something bigger like a sword meant to be used with both hands but since I doubt that it's big enough for that, any sword of any length would be awesome to see (generic I know but that gives a better chance for the metal to be seen since a sword is mostly a metal edge with a bit of guard and pommel and handle to balance it out).

[@skelingtonrick]

looks about the right size, not sure if you watched it but the "his dark materials" show recently finished, and one of the key items is " the subtle knife" a knife so sharp it can cut through reality itself. it would look so cool with this pattern. also bro, for real. I want that slice lol

[@ThatWorks]

I will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion

[@terrybradford3727]

That is amazing and beautiful. My youngest is doing culinary arts at Their high school. So a chef knife or cleaver would be awesome for the wide blade. But a thin boning knife would look nice with a line of stars going down the blade.

awesome
