Damascus steel from ball chain.

I make the blade from Damascus steel, made from nickel plated steel ball chain.
Thank you all for your support in the comments. I'm still relatively safe. Today is the 431st day of the war.

On my patreon page, I began to explain the processes and secrets of my work. Topics already covered:
1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.
10. In what liquid do I develop the pattern on the blade.

Outstanding knife. More importantly, seeing that you post new videos, let’s your fans know that your ok over there. Stay safe. Hopefully this madness will end soon.

Thank you Shurap for this beautiful video, I love this damask knife with "snake scale" effects. I admire your courage and the moments of sharing that you share with us with your passion for the forge in such a difficult context for your country Ukraine in the war, I hope that you will regain the full sovereignty of your dear country. A whole-hearted French fan with you.

Couple months ago he used a chunk of a Russian heavy machine gun barrel that was pretty cool to see

[@cm5838]

@@joshschneider9766 I saw that. Terrible what is happening over there, a lot of soldiers are dying but a lot of innocent people as well. I even feel bad for the Russians that are forced into fighting a war they generally don’t support

He wasn't using scrap.

[@kimmelton3697]

From what I hear, Russia's doing just fine.

[@cm5838]

@@kimmelton3697 it depends on how you look at it, they are almost stalemated but Russia is supposed to have a far superior military so in that sense they are doing terrible. Do I think Ukraine will have a decisive tactical victory, no. However all they need is enough of a strategic victory to improve their bargaining power for a truce deal, basically make it so costly and so unpopular for Russians that Putin is looking for an out without looking like a loss

Use a hotter pepper, will take less time in the forge if it’s pre heated 👍

Shurap, I've been a fan for a pretty good while, I think a couple years, not exactly sure due to ECT memory issues. But regardless, it always brightens my day to see a new video from you! I just love how you can turn such basic, unassuming objects into beautiful damascus knives. It's incredible, and really makes me hope that one day, in whatever skill I persue, I'll be as good as you are at forging these works of art. Stay safe during these challenging times, and thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world!

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

I really like the shape you chose for this piece. The ball chain pattern is delightfully random and the drop point style really suits. Much love from Australia.

Agree. That is one sexy shape. Reminds me of a smaller "original" Rambo knife, without the notches on top

Dmitry, you rock man! Every time i think "he can't possibly find a new source for his knives", you just pull a rabbit out of your hat and well, here we are, yet another awesome knife. And what a beauty this knife is. I swear, you make some of the most aesthetically pleasing knives out there. In a world of CNC and computers, you continuously output quality and creativity one knife at a time. Top work. Stay safe!

[@wayneward977]

Very unique looking pattern in that blade. Stay safe and keep making beautiful pieces of art.

[@andreylokhichev]

Дмитрий, необычайно рад, что не смотря на войну и что твою область обстреливают изо дня в день, ты продолжаешь творить красоту. Пусть твои ролики следуют определенному сценарию, здесь как и с зелёным чаем, начинаешь ловить нюансы, как ты по разному производишь обработку заготовок, чему уделяешь больше внимание, а что-то уходит на задний план. Если ролик начинает воспроизводится в автоматическом режиме, по нюансам определяет как давно был снят, реально интересно, особенно когда видел из не один. Особенно интересен финишный результат. Может внести игровой момент, где ты в начале ролика схематично изображаешь итоговый рисунок дамаска, а в конце можно сравнить ожидание/реальность. В любом случае, будет полегче с финансами, захочу су-шеф на дамаске, люблю я это дело - готовить

[@olegx4434]

Обстреливают не область, а военные объекты и скопления боевиков вооруженного сброда украины. Обстреливают исключительно потому, что киевский режим 9 лет убивает людей на Донбассе (а сейчас ещё и на Запорожье, Херсонщине) и категорически отказался прекратить эти убийства, несмотря на 8 лет увещеваний и уговоров (Минск-2).
