Gorgeous pattern. Also, the cinematography for this video was a little different than in the past and I'm really digging it. The up close views and slow pans really help tell a compelling story with how the steel comes together to form the final piece of metal. As always, well done everyone!
Every step you take, is "necessary". _If_ you want to continue producing this level of work. Don't downplay the extra attention to detail, that easily sets you apart from the masses. And your ability to showcase your work is as phenomenal as your blade smithing. Thanks for sharing all of it.
Not only are you an artisan unmatched, but I must say that I really appreciate the fact that you never assault my ears with obnoxious music. Your videos are informative and chill.
Awesome... I like how you left the billet thicker so you could expose more vertices with the grinding... Your craftsmanship is simply virtuosic. Bravo.
Kyle this video.... Wow. The B roll shots, the music selection, the editing, the pacing.... Amazing. Even the storytelling was really good, you could add more here though, talking about your emotions and how excited you are at specific stages, what you're looking forward to etc. This is close to the perfect knife making video. Just incredible work not just as a craftsman, but as a videographer as well.
I love watching forging videos, and I’ve seen a ton of them. This is by far the nicest billet I’ve ever seen. It drives me crazy when the billet is all bent, crooked and jagged, and the smith just proceeds with his project. I love that you squared yours off and ground it to an almost finished surface by before continuing with the build.
Who ever does your videos is a God. I'm super impressed. The video angles and pans are flawless. Audio is fantastic its like actually being there and shadowing your build. Well done. The skill is really insane absolute precision.
I've only recently discovered your channel, but I think you're one of the best forging channels I've found. It's so satisfying to watch the metal move and the scale flake off as you work, and the finished products are just so beautiful.
My mother got me a chef knife made by Wusthof. It's the sharpest knife I've ever held and can't imagine the sharpness of your knives. Are they sharper than a Wusthof blade? It's not the beauty of your blades, but it's the most I could ever expect!! Love your work!!
Hey Bryan our one off custom knives each have a particular geometry at the blade edge for a particular purpose. We optimize this aspect of our knives. Dad’s chef knife geometry is different for each style and intent of use. We currently use exclusively use carbon steel. We have several high end production kitchen knives in our test kitchen and dad’s outperform them all. Not all knives are the same. Heat treat also comes into play. Keep Forging On my friend Dad
Yo the cinematography in this video was simply out of this world. Your filming is always on-point, but dude, this was on a whole different level....... I know someone had a lot of fun filming and editing this one, but I also know they put a lot of work into it..... VERY nicely done! Kiss your videographer! Keep it up!!
I don't have any expierance actually smithing, but the amount of people I've seen have a massive issue because they didn't take their time and do proper prep like cleaning steel on Forged in Fire... Yeah, you can never do too much prep if you're not working to a time limit. Really, the difference between a £30 knife and a £300 knife is the time spent by all the people involved, not just on this particular blade, but the time spent mastering their trade. Beautiful pattern, instantly heading over to see the finished knife!
Damn! That is a work of art. I wonder how the structure affects the mechanical properties of the metal. It probably matters less for a knife, but I'd love to see a sword made with a similar Damascus pattern.
I'm at the point in the video where you're twisting the bar. I don't know what twisting it will do to the Damascus pattern, but that is a beautiful symmetrical twist !!
Does the weld/material you do at the beginning matter? Does it match the steel you are welding to? Great video work, editing, storyline, colors, sound - enjoyable to watch - thank you.
So I want to start by saying this is some of the best video production I've seen on any forging show, youtube channel, etc. The only thing I don't like is you set this inspirational tone with the music being that tone, and then you flip the script with random edm music; I'd rather see you keep the orchestral inspirational music through out!
I’ve always been curious to know what the pattern would look like if you twisted the billet, flatten it, cut it, stack it, draw it out and twist it again. And I’m curious as to what the pattern would look like if you twisted it the same direction the second time and if you twisted it the opposite direction the second time.
Amazing 🤩 and truly fascinating in a holistic way. Every cell is excited watching what kind of cake you create in your bakery. You use the rough forces of nature and brutal energy but only to the exact proper amount. That’s the MasterKey to Mastery. I love your content and how you lead you spectators through your inner process of following your intuition.
Gona be a sweet pattern. If your gona do more twist patterns just make yourself a hand crank lathe, then just weld a sacrificial piece on each end and put it in the lathe and hand crank it till you get the desired effect. Waaaaay easier than trying to do it that way and trying to keep it straight and even.
Ur stuff just popped in my feed. Started with EXCELSIOR. Gorgeous build especially the bluing. So rich black. Idea. May be pointless but it'd be a cheap experiment and may yield something neat. A bunch of ur Damascus cutoffs welded together for random patterns. Completely unpredictable but maybe something neat would happen idk. I've never made Damascus, don't have that skill/tool set, but I've always been into knives and firearms and have scratch built a few of ea h, and the journey is half the fun. Great work.
In order to get rid of the rust areas before forge welding, could you also use Evaporust to do that, or is it just better to grind it off instead? Thank you for your videos, I love them all so far!
I love your videos. It's very inspirational as I'm approaching my JS Test soon (next week is the break test). I'd be all over your video courses if I could afford them.
One of the things that makes this video is background music choice. U used relaxing music in forging when most of the forging video creators use hardcore rock music.
As many others have already stated...you should have much more subscribers, your work is amazing! By the way, I would love to see you doing a project with some copper damascus or mokume gane. I saw some interesting projects by Tyrell Knifeworkd and would love seeing you taking it to the next level
Please explore the recent discovery of 3D printed Damascus. Basic idea is a 3D printed line goes in canister, cells filled with metal, canister sealed except for a small vent. At forge weld temperatures the PLA hydrocarbon reduces to hydrogen that vents and carbon that migrates into the metal and apparently welds fine. Massive potential to make mosaic tile elements and patterns that would of formerly been super impractical.
It's a like. When I came across that metal forging competition show on Netflix it caught my interest in the art. I wondered. What can the pros do when there was no time limit or limited materials to make it. Now I I have my answer in this video you posted. Oh that twist. It looked like a threaded screw. The end work looked,,, perfect. ... The camera work was a work of art on it's own. It was beautiful. I have zero experience in metal working. Well. Almost zero. I know how to solder electrical components to a circuit board using solder an iron or hot air. I know what the bond should look like. For the proper flow/bond that needs to happen, IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAN before you begin. You proved that. This is a silly question to you and others. What are those flakes coming off the billet when it is getting formed? My guess is oxidized metal. A burnt crust that needs to go away.
just wondering why do you prefer to cut and restack the billet when its cold, i don't think I've seen a video where you hotcut and use water to blast off the scale.
Great work! Looks fantastic. On a side note, next video I’d leave out the anime hip hop music out whatever that was before u finished the billet. Was driving me nuts I had to mute the video. Nothing about two of those songs felt remotely blacksmithy to me. Lol

Make sure you check out Nate's video right here: th-cam.com/video/1jQ5xtbqTNk/w-d-xo.html
Nate video 🤔? Well I'll check it out ..

What song are you playing during the “multiplying the layers” part?
Cool track.
Loved the billet. That’s will look amazing as a final product.
Yo is it possible to make a damascus with a lightning like damascus on the blade?
Always a treat when two random youtubers you subscribe to do a random collaboration you weren’t expecting,
Gorgeous pattern. Also, the cinematography for this video was a little different than in the past and I'm really digging it. The up close views and slow pans really help tell a compelling story with how the steel comes together to form the final piece of metal. As always, well done everyone!
I definitely agree. It really captures the beauty in the art, as well as your passion for it. Amazing work :)
Honestly, I find the cinematography pretentious, unengaging, and completely out of synced with work going on. Much prefer anything else.
@@breatheasy2693Ok? Go find someone who cares about your opinion, because it ain't me...

Nobody has ever explained things the way you do. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and teach us a bit about this craft.
That scale popping of during the twisting is a mesmorizing piece of cinematography. Well done.
I have never seen twist Damascus made after already patterning it, but the result looks like it's worth it- nice job!
!

The slow and cinematic description at the beginning is so satisfying, kind of like ASMR, the whole process is so enjoyable.
Dang dude, you got some incredible views of this whole process. You can see the love you put into this.
Kyle, this is blurring the lines between metallurgy and straight alchemy! Magnificent!
Kyle this video.... Wow. The B roll shots, the music selection, the editing, the pacing.... Amazing.

What an amazingly complex,yet simple pattern . Great job Kyle. I’m excited to see the final outcome as well.👍🏻
You are such a craftsman. It's an absolute joy to share your passion through these videos!
Holy moley! Your production vales are off the charts! Music, camera work and audio recording impeccable 👌!
That pattern looks crazy! Definitely headed over to watch what Nate created out of that blank!
tthe twisting metal gave me GOOSEBUMPS!!! AMAZING CRAFT!!!

Your video about making excelsior is what brought me to your channel. I love the cinematography and the craftsmanship! Great channel!
Those close in shots of the steel being twisted I could honestly watch for hours, just spiritual.
This guy always puts some pretty righteous tracks in his videos.
The pattern is beautiful. The process was fun to watch. Well done Kyle. Like the new boots as well.
Go Team Royer!
all the close macro slow mo shots are really, really nice, thats amazing work.
Nate is doing an awesome job with that billet. I am loving the way the pattern has been shown on the blade.
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers. You're work is Phenomenal

Most informative forging channel I have found. Love the videography
Love the slo-mo close ups w/ the press, that was cool as hell
Video,Narrative 10/10 Your work speaks for itself
What a stunning billet! Nice work!!
This dude is the god of Damascus every time he create something amazing
I am thoroughly impressed. The is the first time in a long time that I actually loved with Google recommended. I definitely subscribed. Great work!
Damn! That is a work of art. I wonder how the structure affects the mechanical properties of the metal. It probably matters less for a knife, but I'd love to see a sword made with a similar Damascus pattern.
Really nice B-roll. Super over the top professional filmmaker
the amount of work into this steel is mindboggling. how many days did this video take?
My man, please rise your work to save your posture. I do the same thing, we need to save our necks... beautiful work man!!
I'm at the point in the video where you're twisting the bar. I don't know what twisting it will do to the Damascus pattern, but that is a beautiful symmetrical twist !!
One of my fav episodes tbh
You're world class with your knives bro.
You have really evolved your production. What an experience. 🙏🙏
The billet forging shots in this are so beautiful and warm. If you ever want to dispose of those "icky end pieces" let me know 😂😂
Does the weld/material you do at the beginning matter? Does it match the steel you are welding to? Great video work, editing, storyline, colors, sound - enjoyable to watch - thank you.
Always love when I catch one of your videos. They are very relaxing and informative
I really like your happy music ☺️ The pattern reminds me of spectrograms, really cool 😃

That has the WOW factor. I can't describe it but I know it when I see it,
I’ve always been curious to know what the pattern would look like if you twisted the billet, flatten it, cut it, stack it, draw it out and twist it again. And I’m curious as to what the pattern would look like if you twisted it the same direction the second time and if you twisted it the opposite direction the second time.
I like the close ups with slow-mo
That pattern is crazy! Would go very well with an Oregon sunstone fantasy cut embeded in the handle or some type of higher grade gems🤌🏻

@1:20 - Holy hell, I can't believe it! A smith that ACTUALLY knows how to use a welder(let alone owns a TIG machine)!!! LOL

amazing ! like always kyle, can't wait to see the finish of this another masterpiece
I look for little variables in Damascus that makes it truly unique.
10:18 forge bro just chilling in the spark spray lol
Awesome as usual!
Good day when Kyle uploades! Love that Damascus pattern. Keep up the great work!
Once again my friend, beautiful work!

Honestly this is hella dope to see the process. I thought knifes Were just pressed with a hydraulic sheer and then sharpened
Yay! another video!

Imagine forming dasmascus in the shape of a finger print - then etch it 😁

Raising the bar as usual sir, amazing work
Is it possible to cut and stack one more time after the twisting? I wonder what the pattern would do, too much twist in the plot for my brain.😁😁👍👍
Enjoying the vids dawg good quality and useful content
Beautiful camera views ( macro)!
Greetings from the Netherlands,

Hey thanks Frank
May God bless the Netherlands, you, and your crew my friend

you are truly like Vulcan, forging with molten lavas
You are amazing I wish I was healthy enough to take your classes I sure would I would love to be as good as you
