its so annoying waiting 4 days to eventually watch it, if you do it at least just let it be that day. stop teasing it just annoying and upsetting cause i just wanna watch it cause i got nothing else to watch
That's bbecause hey didn't have angle grinders, petroleum forges, and hydraulic presses back then so it would cost a master bladesmith a year of his life to make it.
I love watching Blacktail Studio and that's why I also love watching your videos. They are just like Blacktail Studio but about forging content combined with your unique style.
Every time I see you drilling sheet metal on the drill press, you are using jobber length drills. I would recommend getting cobalt split-point stubby drills. Less chance of the drill picking up a wobble and oversizing your hole/ walking. Also, always check the grind profile on the tip from the manufacturer. I have had a couple drills over they years cut .005-.01 oversize and come to realize the grind on the tip of the drill is uneven causing it to wander. ps- if you are still concerned with hole position pick up a cheap set of center drills meant for lathe tailstocks. Some people may not like that because the lead in angle doesn't match a 118 drill, but I've found they work better for thin metal than regular spot drills.
Thanks for the advice! I think I'll buy myself some of the cobalt split point stubby drills when I get back into the shop, I know what you mean when you say wobble/oversizing.
Wow that is one of the most unique patterns i’ve ever seen! That handle is also GORGEOUS! What kind of wood is it? I can’t wait to see how you made this Jesse!
This channel is so good. No annoying music, no crazy in your face shouting, just an entertaining, smooth voice over with very entertaining and beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks Jesse A video idea that just popped into my head would be the Mortal Blade from Sekiro. Not sure if that would even be possible but that would be so sick. Or literally any weapon from Dark Souls or Elden Ring. Black Knight Straight sword would be insane too
Beautiful blade! Suggestions for next year. Keep making chefs knives or other "daily" use blades. Fancy swords are cool and all, but the combination of craftsmanship and art for a blade that will be used every day is something special. Fancy swords get put on display and never used. A blade should be used and enjoyed. I love your chefs knives!!
I mean at this price ur buying the blade as a piece of art to potentially become a family heirloom, so might as well get a blade specifically for show not for use
What always amazes me about Damascus is how much steel it takes to create a single blade. You start of forging a broad sword but after grinding, cutting, and reforging the pieces over and over again to get that BEAUTIFUL pattern you end up with a Chef's knife.
Yeah the material loss is crazy, that’s one of the reasons I didn’t want to start making Damascus until I got a press to reduce the material loss. If I did this with a hand hammer and/or a human striker, I’d lose double what I lose with the press😭
Hey jesse i’m not sure if you’ll see this or not but i heard you were looking for video suggestions. So I thought share some that I would love to see you try. I think it would be a super cool idea to take a single piece of steel and then only use hand hammers and your anvil, and show us how to forge a brute de forge kitchen knife. It would be a bit of change from your normal videos and I think people would love to see the different skill sets you have. You could show us the correct techniques and the right hammers for drawing out the material in specific ways. It would also be a super helpful project for beginners and your videos are always so knowledgeable so i bet you would do great!
Beautiful work as always. For those short cuts, chuck a 1/16 thick piece of steel to the surface grinder, flatten it, then stick the short cuts to that. For the horizontal band saw, you can probably make a stop block with a piece of wood and a quick clamp.
What I wanna see is a gradient Damascus knife. I don't know if it's possible or anything but I image it being super cool. All the have the same pattern covering the blade. Image it fading away or change from tip to back. Maybe a twist gradient or something like that
Gradient Damascus would be very interesting, the twist gradient you’re talking about would be sick, I’ve had ideas with mosaic gradients but they would take a lot of time
Regarding scribing with the calipers I do it to sometimes especially if its just into soft stuff like brass. But theres an actual tool for that which are marking calipers, they have a little roller and a tungsten tip which you can set in the tool, so that it is shorter than the roller, giving you an easier time. They arent expensive so definetly worth checking out.
This is honestly one of the coolest knife videos I've ever seen. Your editing and vids are getting better and better and man was this fun to watch, even though it was an hour, I watched the whole thing 🔥
With mosaic Damascus, I like to forge wider and longer than I need. That way I can adjust where the pattern lies on the blade with stock removal for the best final appearance
your followers really respect what they are seeing from you , thats almost because of the clear effort we are seeing in your videos . making blades from animes and video games will bring new audiences to your channel making the channel bigger, i am pretty sure that they will love your almost perfect blades that will be a clone of the one in there loved anime , if you saw this can you make Tanjiro's Katan WuW😅
The thoroughness from start to finish specifically your measurements using your caliper is so satisfying to watch. One sword that I’ve seen made once that would be awesome to see is your take on is Sokka’s sword from Avatar the Last Airbender. Already looking forward to your next build.
One of my favorite designs is a katana cane. I bought one for my brother and he loves it. It looks harmless until you unsheathe it. Wish you luck in your studies.
Dude you are changing the forging game one knife at a time, like the I honestly think the bar has never been higher with this knife. Great job! Have you ever thought about teaching the craft?
Stunning work, as always. And your videos are so clear and well thought out, as are your explanations of what you are doing and why. I'm a weekend knife maker (mostly chef's knives) and hope to some day make a knife half as nice as this. Ok, maybe a quarter.
You should have a chef on the show to discuss the aesthetics of that style of handle So many blade makers making aesthetic handles as if they hand an ergonomics advantage versus the Japanese style of handle A fighter style handle on a kitchen knife ,think about it 😊 High class work and Salem is a bad ass also ,I’d love to actually forge with him 😅
That is an impressive piece of work, man. I can do (and have done) a lot of the metalworking, forge welding, profile and bevel griding, etc. but I swear I have no idea how you got so good at making faceted handles. Especially where the bolster and handle join up since one material moves so much faster than the other. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. If you're still looking for next year video ideas, that's one I would suggest. Either way, put your feet up after making that. Super well done.
You don’t really need a milk to make a slot. Just chuck up an end mill bit in you drill press, add some guides like a template for a router that your vice can follow, plunge the end mill or have a pre-drilled hole, and push the vise with your hands along the guide. There you go. Slot with an end mill without the mill.
Have you thought about making your own files? That is an art in and of itself. Have to heat a file to quenching heat while sealed from oxygen so you dont lose material to scale.
Gorgeous work as always! Can you do a video on how you sharpen your blades? That would be cool to see and learn from! Thank you for the content and I hope you have continued success into the future!
A lot of beginner smiths use the wrong kind of quench container.... as i have a metal 32oz coffee mug as a quench container right now haha. At least my forge is outside on gravel so a little oil spillage isnt going to hurt much.
Love your knives. To your thought of a mill, it would be great to have but you also might want to consider another option of a scroll saw. They make doing those rectangular cutes in the spaces much easier then using a file for just about everything.
Also, for anyone that wants to just buy a broach instead of make one, Black Dragon Forge and Nordic Edge both make them and sell them through several of the main knifemaking suppliers out there.
A segment video with you in was uploaded to the Forged In Fire TH-cam channel yesterday. Blade looked sweet, the forged pattern was very stylish. As for taking the scale and turning it into a blade, you could turn it into a Wootz steel ingot.
From Australia. Like your work. I have a pretend blade I insert into the woof before carving the handle, and before gluing. That way the actual blade doesn't get hot or nicked.
2 other suggestions, from Australia. I get my client to hold a roll of plasticine, and that guides me to their hand dimensions and irregularities. And I wear a butcher's chainmail glove handsanding the blade...too many finger slices in the past.
Imagine you and blacktail studios team up for a collab, that would be 🔥 🔥 🔥 he makes beautiful tables along with your blacksmith abilities, do something and auction it for charity
Really enjoy watching your stuff! I know it's a little outlandish, but for video game weapon ides: pure nail from Hollow knight!. It's a common head-cannon that it's made of Damascus steel, and it' would be cool seeing it interpreted into something more grounded
What an absolutely gorgeous knife!!! All of it looks just amazing! Love the wood choice for the handle, and just from looks alone it looks like it'd be comfy as hell to use for hours on end. Some day imma buy a knife from you, mark my words.
You asked about ideas for future products and one video I saw from Tyrell knifeworks that I loved was a “copper Damascus” where the darker steel was replaced with copper and I would love to see another video like this
The issue with scribing with your nice calipers is that they will get worn down and no longer be as accurate as they could be. What I do is save my nice Mitutoyo calipers for actual measuring precise measurements, and I have a cheap pair of calipers that are much less precise, but close enough for work like scribing a quick mark to cut sheet metal. When they wear out I'll just replace them for a few bucks. Just my 2 cents.
ooh, maybe you could do some terraria blades like the zenith, even tho they arent really detailed so you could have some fun and creativity doing your own thing!

Bro is casually smithing a knife that would have been a family artifact 600years ago
That knife still will be a family artifact.
@diiiamondmaster1461 yeah, but it was made casually 😂
These videos really underscore the amount of labor it really takes.
@@pipisugbo I wouldn't say "casually". Dude put a lot of work and thought into it.

This might actually be my favorite knife that I've ever seen created on TH-cam. Nicely done, Jesse!
That's a high honor hehe, glad to receive your kind words :)
Agreed.
thanks

@@jhublades now just shave your head!
@@jhubladesand move to Oregon (:
It's so crazy that you got the pattern of the bolster to PERFECTLY match pattern of the blade! What a beautiful blade!!!!!
It was lowkey kind of lucky, I was aiming for it but wasn't expecting it to actually match up as well as it did

Ain’t no party like a Jesse Hu party
No diddy

@@jhublades you should give the twist gradient a try then!
The part of the pattern at 1:04:09 looks like the leaf of an oak tree. Love the knife! Great work!
As someone who has nearly 30 different kitchen knives, this might be one of the most beautiful I've seen. Truly unique

Hi Jesse, another awesome creation, Rock On and Go Blue!!!
Thank you! Go Blue!!!
I like how he opens and closes his mouth as he presses the billet xD
lmao wait I didn't even notice that
This is honestly one of the coolest knife videos I've ever seen. Your editing and vids are getting better and better and man was this fun to watch, even though it was an hour, I watched the whole thing 🔥
Feels like watching Stradivari making one of his finest violins. With puns and light sarcasm as an added bonus entertainment.
It even sang as it went through the paper very nicely done
With mosaic Damascus, I like to forge wider and longer than I need. That way I can adjust where the pattern lies on the blade with stock removal for the best final appearance
this amazing blade is the reason why we need 4k: the patterns are mesmerizing
Beautiful pattern. I also love the sharp edges on the handle.
I've loved each build, but this knife is by far my favorite! Good luck with your last semester, I look forward to your next knife!
its a good day when Jesse uploads
Real
Also, some over-the-top gardening tools like secateurs and hori-hori would be fun to watch you make sense of.
I know its not a movie or a video game but it would be awesome to see your version of the sword of omens from the original thundercats cartoon
To me, you're like the NileRed of knifemaking. Both somewhat crazy, surprisingly experienced and interesting.
your followers really respect what they are seeing from you , thats almost because of the clear effort we are seeing in your videos . making blades from animes and video games will bring new audiences to your channel making the channel bigger, i am pretty sure that they will love your almost perfect blades that will be a clone of the one in there loved anime , if you saw this can you make Tanjiro's Katan WuW😅
Another amazing project and the reference to Blacktail Studio caught me off-guard as that's one of my favorite channels as well.

It is an amazing knife.... Congrats! One thing I would have loved to see was the knife cutting some food, particularly a tomato! Love it
One of my favorite designs is a katana cane. I bought one for my brother and he loves it. It looks harmless until you unsheathe it. Wish you luck in your studies.

Wow. Masterpiece. The buffing and etching at the end... just wow again.
The twin bowies blew my mind, but this one made me write a comment. Just absolutely beautiful. I wish I could like the video more than once.
Wow, that pattern came out absolutely beautiful!
As always, absolutely beautiful craftsmanship!
You should have a chef on the show to discuss the aesthetics of that style of handle
So many blade makers making aesthetic handles as if they hand an ergonomics advantage versus the Japanese style of handle
A fighter style handle on a kitchen knife ,think about it 😊
High class work and Salem is a bad ass also ,I’d love to actually forge with him 😅
VIDEO IDEA!!!: Collab with Hedron Rockworks to make a Pattern Damascus Dice set.
I think you should do like collabs with popular Fisherman, Chefs and Hunters on TH-cam. Also Forged in Fire culinary version would be cool.
That is an impressive piece of work, man. I can do (and have done) a lot of the metalworking, forge welding, profile and bevel griding, etc. but I swear I have no idea how you got so good at making faceted handles.

I've found that tungsten carbide drill bit work the best for drilling with metals
You don’t really need a milk to make a slot. Just chuck up an end mill bit in you drill press, add some guides like a template for a router that your vice can follow, plunge the end mill or have a pre-drilled hole, and push the vise with your hands along the guide. There you go. Slot with an end mill without the mill.
first axe attempt would be insane to see you adapt too. at some point in the future.
Ooh, yeah an axe would be cool. Lots of tooling would need to be made to ensure that I can make it to the same quality as my blades though😅
"That"s not real" so real hahaha. Insane looking blade great job.
Absolutely beautiful work Jesse. Your time on Forged in Fire brought me here, and I'm thrilled that it did.
I want to see client reactions for once in a forge video because damn this is beautiful!
This is in my opinion one if not my favorite of your knives you've ever made. Absolutely stunning work!!
I was honestly so entranced by the video i totally forgot it was $5000 😂 absolutely beautiful craftsmanship!
Simply brilliant. Genius
that knife is freaking beautiful. great work.
You are my fave youtuber. LoL. crocs! don't change, everything about you is super hero material.
Currently the best bladesmith on youtube imo, well done Jesse look forward to your content in 2025.
That knife is insane. Blows my mind.
Have you thought about making your own files?
That is an art in and of itself. Have to heat a file to quenching heat while sealed from oxygen so you dont lose material to scale.
That is absolutely beautiful. I really enjoy every video you put out.
Thank you! Thanks for watching :)

Amazing knife . That is one sharp blade you made .
Thank you youtube algo for this channel, I didnt know I need one until I watched your videos. Damn you make such an amazing job man
Pleasure having you :) more videos on the way
A lot of beginner smiths use the wrong kind of quench container.... as i have a metal 32oz coffee mug as a quench container right now haha. At least my forge is outside on gravel so a little oil spillage isnt going to hurt much.
Black dragon forge makes a nice handle broach. Also the whole hidden and full tang segment , you could always try doing frame handle.
I have one of his broaches! I just don’t really like how it’s sort of thin and makes it hard to get square corners
Love your knives. To your thought of a mill, it would be great to have but you also might want to consider another option of a scroll saw. They make doing those rectangular cutes in the spaces much easier then using a file for just about everything.

Phenomenal Jesse! Truly a generational heirloom. You are an artificer of exceptional skill. Thanks for the invite into your shop. Be well.
A segment video with you in was uploaded to the Forged In Fire TH-cam channel yesterday.
Blade looked sweet, the forged pattern was very stylish.
As for taking the scale and turning it into a blade, you could turn it into a Wootz steel ingot.
Going nuts on those patterns man, really well done!
Hey Jessie, not only would it be good to consider the drill bits, you could also get a good optical punch set
Me: "hah, that reminds me of blacktail studio"
Jesse: "I feel like blacktail studio"
Me: 😮
I'd like to see a one day build challenge. Amazing knife dude keep up the good work
Crazy to see Jesse through his trial and errors become a master before our eyes.
From Australia. Like your work. I have a pretend blade I insert into the woof before carving the handle, and before gluing. That way the actual blade doesn't get hot or nicked.
no words can adequately describe the beauty of that knife.
7th minute onwards is the most satisfying part of the vid 🙃
That's a beautiful knife and that Damascus pattern is cool and trippy
If you will ever do ichigo's bankai katana you will officially be my favourite youtuber
Super beautiful. Good luck with your studies Jesse!
That is a beautiful blade Jesse!
Thanks!
2 other suggestions, from Australia. I get my client to hold a roll of plasticine, and that guides me to their hand dimensions and irregularities. And I wear a butcher's chainmail glove handsanding the blade...too many finger slices in the past.
just nice and peaceful watching this
Looking good, mate. Can't wait to watch how you pulled this off.
The close up detail is spectacular.
Imagine you and blacktail studios team up for a collab, that would be 🔥 🔥 🔥 he makes beautiful tables along with your blacksmith abilities, do something and auction it for charity
That would be interesting, I'm not sure what we could do as a collab though. Tables and knives can really only be combined in so many ways hehe
Really enjoy watching your stuff!
I know it's a little outlandish, but for video game weapon ides: pure nail from Hollow knight!. It's a common head-cannon that it's made of Damascus steel, and it' would be cool seeing it interpreted into something more grounded
What an absolutely gorgeous knife!!! All of it looks just amazing! Love the wood choice for the handle, and just from looks alone it looks like it'd be comfy as hell to use for hours on end. Some day imma buy a knife from you, mark my words.
You asked about ideas for future products and one video I saw from Tyrell knifeworks that I loved was a “copper Damascus” where the darker steel was replaced with copper and I would love to see another video like this
Copper Damascus would be cool, the forge-ability is a little low though so it would be like forging a bar and just doing stock removal from there
The issue with scribing with your nice calipers is that they will get worn down and no longer be as accurate as they could be. What I do is save my nice Mitutoyo calipers for actual measuring precise measurements, and I have a cheap pair of calipers that are much less precise, but close enough for work like scribing a quick mark to cut sheet metal. When they wear out I'll just replace them for a few bucks. Just my 2 cents.
Wow this looks like a treat, thanks for the work you do man.
the best handle ive seen... and the pattern on the knife is unbelievable....
What an absolute work of art!
ooh, maybe you could do some terraria blades like the zenith, even tho they arent really detailed so you could have some fun and creativity doing your own thing!
A piece of a museum art! Amazing.
Perfection makes you proud no matter the media, great work.
