pretty sweet video, im a stock removal knife maker myself, but its videos like these that make me really appreciate the work that my blacksmith cousins do.
When the music increased when you put your ears on I almost died laughing. Sick editing Jason. Really well done video. A sharpening one like this would be incredible. Maybe sharpening that axe!!
Thanks Murray....I like watching you work and seeing the finished product....Do you make your own charcoal? Its to bad there isnt an importer here in the states for the power hammer......
Does Carter still, to this day, laminates and forge welds all the Damascus blades of the website himself? No factory pre laminated damascus billets (such a thing exists and more and more blacksmiths are migrating to it)? I ask it because manual forge welding it unfortunately becoming a dying art... thanks for the information
The power hammer is the driving force behind knife production in Japan. This power hammer is made by Sakemoto metalworks. They cost a lot of money and have to be sourced from Japan.
Thank you for that information, guess Ill do it old school like Masamune...hope I don't plow out my elbow...:) Im looking for some land to build my micro shop...see you soon...
hey Murray! Ive been subbed for several years now and Ive noticed an uptick in the editing skills. Did you teach yourself or does an apprentice do it? Also, I had no idea the power hammer required you to pull UP on it with your foot. That seems extremely uncomfortable, especially after a few hours.
Murray focuses on making knives and leaves the technology to his assistant, Jason. The power hammer pedal is much like the gas pedal on a car, when you press down the power hammer will build up speed / force.
Murray, my name is Chad and I love making rings (wedding band) I've made them from stainless nuts, silver coins, gold, brass, you name it I've tried it. But I love the pattern welded steel look, I was wondering if you had any small Damascus bar pieces lying around you could send me so I could make a ring? I'd gladly make one for you as well in return. Thanks- Chad
Great video Murray! More of this please.
I love the POV concept. It shows your work in a new exciting way.

"anything can happen on the road to Damascus (Just ask Paul)" I love that quote!
Very impressive Murray ...... fascinating !
Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned ;)
Wicked video! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the awesome video, can't wait to see more! Hopefully I can get into one of your classes in the next year or two and see this close up.
in awe of your skill.

Thank you! It was a really fun video for me to put together.
Need to do a video of you rebuilding your charcoal forge, showing the major steps involved in it that would be cool.
Very cool. Thanks for the pov ride along.
:-)
Nice shop bud!
Interesting, more vids like this please!
just realized how appropriate the song breathe is with blade forging, its got sword samples in it!

What is scale?
clinkers make good snow traction...grind them instead of chucking em
You say that as though you believe we have a limited amount of clinkers available!
dude badass forging machine, what is it called? And much do they cost?

Great video. Music is distracting and in my view, takes away from the work.
