Making knives to pass my Journeyman Smith performance test, and doing some cold forged v. Normal forged comparison testing.
This is an amazing piece! You definitely got yourself a new subscriber and thanks to the TH-cam algorithm for showing me this
Work of art. Symmetry at it's best.
great piece of art, good job, love from iran
That's excellent work sir. Well done.
Si this is how is done?! There’s no automatic mechanism to work on that part?
@@crossmanbluev6049 nope, all by hand my friend
Absolutely amazing work!
Truly beautiful work, every aspect came out incredibly on it's own while also working harmoniously with the overall look. I wanted to thank you for all the detail you went into on the process, beside being entertaining I learned new things. :) Spring tempering the upper portion of the tang makes perfect sense, but it's not something I've ever seen in another video or read in a book. I also had no idea that profile taper was as important as distal taper on the tang. Thanks for sharing.
Your gold work is amazing.
How many layers is each bar if you don't mind me asking?
@@BertchCustomKnives oh man I don’t remember, pretty low. I think around 20
Those feathers are drug sooo far and are extremely tight because of how "dull" your die is i assume. Tell me if im wrong. I never thought of making a die like that. The pattern is absolutely amazing! Thanks for showing us your process.
Yes generally the duller the cutter the more "drag" personally I love it this way the best!
awesome work! as a chemist it's cool to see potassium permangenate being used. We use it quite often but I've never seen it outside a lab
Cool stuff!
Stunning work, thank you for sharing.
Not gonna lie, this is the kind of dagger I'd picture a master smith submitting to a blade tournament _and winning_ Everything from the damascus, the handle, guard and pommel, to the gold engravings and even the profile of the blade. All not only excellently made, but also masterfully designed This belongs in a display case atop a marble pedestal And the fact that it holds up to genuine use? It is masterpiece not only in design but also in quality
@@sorayaya3080 thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful.
Look out Kyle Royers glad to see quality compared to his cant wait to see future projects
🦾
You etch deep!
Cuanto cuesta esta pieza amigo
This is amazing work, the only thing I personally would have done different is use a better handle material, like india sambar stag, the enamel on India stag is the finest of any stag antler and takes a mirror polish, and over time starts to yellow gracefully over time and almost takes on an ivory kind of look, (unless you dye it of course). The other parts of the knife are so well done that it deserves an upgrade in stag. Also, it's an interesting choice to leave the solder on the finished piece like that. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it's kind of cool, and it goes well with what the knife represents. Cheers, have a nice day!
Awesome work❤. Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow I’m still confused as to how you did the golf balls beautiful!
We are all in early here boys 606 subs WTF! The birth of a legend.
Was that geese honking at the 5:30 mark, or was it some dogs in the background? It really sounded like geese. Sorry for the strange question. LOL!
@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 yeah that was some geese 😁
I am SO glad that I found your channel! Cheers, brother!!!
Your attention to detail is unmatched by 99.99 percent of the blade smiths that I have ever seen!
Are you from Texas, or was that just where the commission came from?
@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 neither lol. It was commissioned as a gift for a guy in Texas
This dagger is up there in most beautiful blades ever created. I am very much looking forward to your next big build! Amazing work. Are you a Master Smith???
@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 thank you! No I am an apprentice, I am testing for Journeyman next year
@@icarusforge I later found that out after watching your prep video! 😜
Wow.....I just finished the video, and I don't know what to say other than, THIS BLADE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The attention to detail is top notch, and I would rate this one up there with the last dagger that Kyle Royer uploaded to his channel. The $24k dagger that took him 3 months to make! Truly an amazing work of art. And seeing you butcher that 2"x4" with this beauty closer to the middle of the video, that is just a testament to not only your knowledge of how to properly heat treating a blade, but how to make a beautiful work of art that is also VERY capable of going to war! You deserve for the whole world to know who you are, my friend! Great work, and I am definitely looking forward to your next build video!
@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 thank you for your kind words
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! That hammer is a thing of fvcking BEAUTY!!!!!!!
I am less than 2 minutes into your video, and I can already tell I am going to subscribe to you. I love how in depth you are already are with the voice-over at 1:13 mark. You have a EASILY got a sub from me! I am a plumber and a pipefitter, and I have always loved working with metal. Metallurgy has been super interesting to me for some years now, and I have been eating up a lot of black/bladesmithing for a few weeks now. I have been looking for more bladesmiths that go in depth in their videos, here on TH-cam. I am hoping to purchase a forge and some steel stock so I can start teaching myself how to make high quality knives. I am very grateful for channels like yours, that go into detail and walk you through their process step by step! I can't wait to see the finished product at the end of your video! Cheers!
You should check out Kyle royer. Very intricate designs coupled with builds that rival anything I've seen ANYWHERE, not just YT.
@@TheSeth14 been watching him for a couple of years now. He's one of my favorites!
Very nice work
Dedication. This is at least a 4-figure knife. 👍
This is absolutely fucking ludicrous. Please make more videos
#bring beauty back into the world!!!! Glory to God, expressed through work!
@@lonesouthafricanbear2135 thank you very much, that’s the goal!
My eyes have been blessed! Thank you good sir.
You have a forge in a domestic garage? That must be difficult with the neighbours!
@@amcconnell6730 actually we have great relationships with our neighbors, they come hang out in the shop all the time
@@icarusforge That would be me :) I'd be super curious - but I could imagine hammering on an anvil etc would be difficult for some.
Really at a loss for words because the usual superlatives that you see in blade smithing just won't work here. I wish to echo the other comments by saying, this is the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. You have a new subscriber. Look forward to seeing what else you can do. Thanks for sharing.
@@floundergearjam thank you very much!
absolutely beautiful! one question how did you lock the pommel?
@@311Bob thank you! I secured it with a tang pin
Ok knowint that the five gold balls are the five wounds of Christ makes the "bleed" of the gold onto the steel feel like a feature, not a bug. Great work!
@@hunszaszist that was the idea, thank you!
That build is INSANE. Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for share.
Believe I saw this posted In the World of Art Knife Makers and Art Knives.
As a jeweller, the solder excess in the final hurts my soul, but otherwise, what a wonderful piece
Ахуенно.
That is awesome, I love it. I am slowly getting all the tools to make knives myself. I have already made a few and every knife I make I buy a new tool to make things easier.
@@kennethgrossman289 sweet! Keep going 👊🏻👊🏻
Stunning!
really really beautiful
Amen, and hallelujah! Beautiful work, Pearce, absolutely stunning! 🔥 ⚒ 🙏
@@bradleycairns908 thank you very much!
that is THE single most gorgeous dagger i have EVER seen. the pattern, the handle, the pommel, the engravings and the materials are all top notch. and i am not even gonna talk about the video itself, that is greatly made.
@@4elements279 thank you very much!
More visually appealing and better than Kyle Royer, who also sell extremely expensive pieces. His work worth it or overrated? Name the dagger " Conquista El Mundo". Beautiful and lavish art of work...and surely practical!
@@baneman7783 I appreciate it but I wouldn’t say it’s better than his work lol. He is both a friend and teacher of mine, his work is incredibly good, he’s legitimately one of the best in the world. But thank you for your kind words!
@@icarusforge So, his work is worth the pricetags? I like Freerk Wieringa.
@@baneman7783 ultimately work is worth what people will pay for it. But imo, based on his quality, yes it’s worth it.
