Beautiful choppa! Little tip: you don’t want to cut too much wood on the same bandsaw you cut steel with, without cleaning out the dust collector first. That’s a shop fire waiting to happen.
Bro…. Good job … I think you may be one of a few other knife makers on TH-cam that constantly makes copper Damascus… Absolutely love the process. Knife looks amazing!!
Love the running commentary, I know I'll probably never use any of this knowledge, but it's cool knowing why you're doing something to the blade. And lol at the shoes!
You need to be more careful when you are removing those scraps of wood from the band saw blade.. I was concerned just watching your fingers getting so close to the blade. Trust me you need those digits to continue to create those amazing blades that are works of art
Came to the comments to say how much anxiety I was getting watching him put his hands so close to the machines. Ik he is smart and careful and definitely has done it for a while, still tho had me crazy nervous
Man, the copper & bandsaw chopper knife turned out absolutely spectacular and the wave pattern swirling is psychedelically hypnotic...a mighty fine build J P, cheers for the reel.
I love that you used a solid bar of steel for the cutting edge. damascus is good for an outer layer, but I don't like it on the cutting edge because the different steels sharpen and dull differently, and the edge is less refined overtime. gorgeous build
I am mid way when you are explaning how you can't weld copper and you need to go all the way around. Thanks for the terms and explanations of the whole process. I enjoy hearing you as a professional telling us about the way you create the product on any video I watch. I subscribed !
Gorgeous blade. The copper on black is really striking. And don't get too comfy around that band saw. Time it takes to rip up a finger is a lot less than the time it takes to realize it's happening and react. (And I'm saying that with a half inch gash on my thumb from getting a little too comfy by the hacksaw blade on a clingwrap box in the kitchen a few days ago)
Amen to that. Your fingers get v. close to the band saw. Having worked in a joinery Ive seen too many ambulances and don't want you to need one. Stay safe.
Undoubtedly, definitely, a unique idea. The design is genuine. The Master Craftsman demonstrated a very advanced knowledge and expertise in metallurgy and metal treatment.
I do so enjoy a copper build in a blade! Tell me: Do you showcase your builds... sell them? I would look forward to seeing, discussing, acquiring some of your work. Thank you, J
I have a website but i need to update it and make a few knives so i can have on there. Its tough finding the time to make something thats not a youtube video these days.
in all seriousness, that is an absolutely gorgeous build man ! very well done, very well explained, going to pass this video onto my son who is a hopeful blacksmith (his choice)
The padauk looks good with the copper and dark black contrast. I stabilize wood. I haven't done padauk because its so naturally oily and therefore pretty water resistant. Maybe i should though? I have a bunch of it.
@JPsBladeworks it's used for decking and cutting boards. It would probably be fine not stabilized. When you do start though you'll use a lot more resin than you think.
I’ve watched a lot of these videos and you’re now in the top two favorites. You explain as you work and I’ve never seen copper forged together with steels. Beautiful knife. 👍
I use regular mild steel tube. I'd recommend 1/8 in walls. No need to use any thicker since it will not be any benefit but it will cost more. And this is where I'd get it. maritimeknifesupply.ca/products/1090-powder-2-nickel?variant=39630768177319
Normally i would do it black but i wanted to try it like this since ive seen some knives with no black on the spine. Definitely makes the process easier but it doesnt look as nice.
@@JPsBladeworks yeah man. Spray paint over white out seems to be the trick. It’s amazing. Squashing from the top first too seems to work better than I’ve been shown in the past. I’ve always seen folks do the sides first but watching you how can you argue? Never seen it come out so easy in my life. Great stuff.
@guyfromnj the preseason I do top first is because the lids are the weak point. So I can get a solid weld and pressure from all side in the first press. Before I used to go just sides and the caps would pop off and the ends of my billet would not weld properly. Now I don't have that issue.
Would you mind doing a video on your Prius? I would like to see how it’s made. Enjoy your videos. Thank you for teaching me a lot just getting started.
Not sure. I never check my hours on these builds and since im really on a time crunch to get the video out sometimes i dont necessarily make something im willing to sell because im so picky with my work. This one im not sure i would sell.
I'm not sure if you've already have a vid concerning your press. If you do, could you please drop me a link? If you haven't, would you please show or tell us/me what you have or how it's run? I've really hit a wall do to not having a press and am unable to afford one. So I'm looking into how viable it would be to make one. Seeing yours take up so little room is also very appealing to me, as I have only about 8X12 area to work in. Less actually, because I I already have my big toolbox and an even bigger work bench in that space. Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate it if it's at all possible. If it's not something you want to go into, at least thank you for reading my comment. Oh and that's some sick skills and an even sicker blade!! Outstanding Sir!!
Thank you. I dont have a link to the video since im on my phone app replying but if you scroll down on my videos to the older videos i do a look through my press. Its a pretty old video but its the same press with some mods ive done to the power system. For that i recommend checking out tyrell knifeworks videos on his press. I have a similar power unit set up now.
@@JPsBladeworks Sweet!! Thanks brother!! I greatly appreciate it!! I have a 20 ton manual shop press. I'm just not sure what all I need to get to make it work like yours and others I've seen on YT. But I'll definitely look through your vids and go check out Tyrell's channel. Again, Thank You Sir!!
Do you think it would be possible to forge a sword with a portion of powdered tungsten in the blade? Maybe concentrated in the center of the blade? Basically sintered tungsten using steel as the binder.
Have you thought about setting your heat treating oven to the right temp for the copper and getting the braise that way? I've seen a couple of guys who make CU mai knives that way, and it seems like a more reliable method than using a forge. Haven't tried it myself yet.
My heat treat oven is a little on the small side. So it isnt the best for that. Maybe once i get a deeper one i could try. But for now its the good ole forge.
I know nothing about knife making, so forgive the question if it’s ignorant, but with copper being a softer metal, does it effect the way the knife sharpens or maintains an edge? Or would copper ever peel away from the other metals?
No the copper doesnt affect the edge. The edge is the 80crv2 steel which is a high carbon steel. The copper brazes to the steel when it is forged so it wont unstick. The force needed to make it peel is magnitudes more than whats used for food prep or anything like that. Plus the core steel stabilizes the knife as a whole. Ive never had any issues.
@@JPsBladeworksoh ok, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining it. Beautiful work btw. I do leatherwork myself but never made a sheath for a custom knife like that. One of these days though. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
You can trace the profile of the handle onto one piece of scale material, mark and drill pin locations, then stack and pin continuing and opposing scale material in order to make fewer cuts while making the handle. Layers 1A, 1B, 1C, 2C, 2B, 2A temporarily pinned, then cut.
If you got money and want it learn then tool up. A good hammer and anvil can go a long way. Get a forge or some kind of heat source and go for it. You wont know until you try. If you are like me and you are starting on a budget get yourself any good sized steel to use as an anvil. It doesnt have to be fancy. Many place around the world have a piece of round stock in a stump. Get a hammer. Harbor frieght is your friend. And modify the hammer to better suit forging. There are vidoes out there that show how to do that. And finally get a good fire source so you can start forging. Leaf spring is also your friend when starting because your first forged knives will be ass. Everyones are ass. Dont get discouraged just rinse and repeat until you start gaining experience. You got this. If i could do it so can you.
I have to ask if you have ever done a twist with a drawn counter twist and drawn out to get a cotwist pattern. And I'd like to get a knife built that has some real unique materials in it and the handle scales. The only thing is I'm not able to build a knife anymore due to some serious injuries I developed over the years.
@@JPsBladeworks yes that's what I meant. Sorry if I get a bit twisted up when writing or talking sometimes. I suffer from dyslexia and I got hit in the head with a 400 pound steel grate that nearly ended me. Stupid me just went home after and had to stay in the dark and quiet for about three months. It still bothers me after over 20 years later. Life is never fair or easy.
It wasn’t safety done, but it is VERY beautiful. Artists and craftsmen aren’t always fully understood during their time. With all of his fingers and toes he’s obviously a craftsman that is a subject matter expert. Damn beautiful.
When i restacked with the core steel i made a 5 layer billet with the outside beinf the bandsaw blades then copper and finally the core steel in the center.
@@JPsBladeworks Thanks! I tried several times to see the copper in there but just couldn't locate it. And clearly there is copper because the results are very clear. And splendidly vibrant!
Yes and no. Yes because it is a soft material and not because the core steel holds the integrity of the knife. The tensile strength of copper brazing to steel is around 70k psi which is way more than a knife will see especially a kitchen knife.
Question... Having the copper as the core, would that not make the edge very hard to sharpen, as copper is so soft? Or it would not take a good edge in the first place??
14:50 Perhaps use the platen edge to get the bulk of the shaping done and then use the small wheel you usually use to finish taking it down to size... That might save time in future builds without increasing the hand sanding you have to do...
I think we all wish we started sooner. Im 30 right now and started at 27. I wish i started at 20 or even 18. Id be so much farther along i would like to think.
Hey what coating did you do on the blade to protect it? Diamond Like Coating, Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) or a heating coating like clear Cerakote? I didn't hear you say any coatings or what your Ferris Chloride actually does

Seen a band saw fire in the machine shop I worked in. Just complete negligence by the person who cut the wood.
That copper "waveform" is amazing. Import an image of it into an audio editor and hear what it sounds like.

I would imagine it would be a sharp sound. 😂

Diamond Like Coating, Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) or a heating coating like clear Cerakote?

ferric chloride etches it so you can see the different layers and i just use wax to protect the blade from moisture.
