Your ability to plan and your skill in realizing your plan is amazing. I know I will have to watch this series many times to fully absorb what you're teaching. Thank you for sharing this.
This just further solidifies that forging to shape is paramount. Looks so much better when the pattern flows with the blade shape. Well done, an amazing build to watch unfold.
Really like the profile on them, plus how you get the pattern all the way through the integral. Lot of work so I hope the end customer appreciates the effort by clubbing you with big lumps of cash :)
There is SO much great information here. Integral chefs are my favorite knife to make, but the heel has always been my Achilles (pun intended) as I can never draw it out as far as I would like. Preform is so important, but I tend to rush things and it comes back to bite me
That pattern is looking really good, the little chain links look great. Love your workshop, not much room left for any new gadgets. Regards from Down Under.
The 3 finished blades are around 8 Oz each… probably about 8lbs each per two starting billets worth of material, so 16 lbs so 5.33 lbs steel goes into an 8 oz blade. So ultimately 90% or worse material loss all told.
Un-be-liev-able!!! .... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That pattern is stunning. Next level skills, man.
Thank you so much for sharing how you do this good sir!!! It will be an honor to try it out myself!
Very beautiful blade

Beautiful 😍😍😍
Que sarpado!!!el nivel de complejidad❤
Been waiting for this one!!!
Me too index model 635, me too.
Only the welder gets an intro song?
What’s the weight/material loss from the original billet (of bar stock before forge welding) to the finished knife blades?
The 3 finished blades are around 8 Oz each… probably about 8lbs each per two starting billets worth of material, so 16 lbs so 5.33 lbs steel goes into an 8 oz blade. So ultimately 90% or worse material loss all told.
Hurry up would ya
I know right?
@@PrometheanBlade those links link pretty cool like that,couldn’t imagine it till the reveal
I’ll give you $100 for one.
Good joke bro. More like $10,000, maybe more.
$100 doesn't even cover to hold the knife, it only covers to look at it when it's finished 🙂
@@SLAVIKTELY True words from another astonishingly good bladesmith!
😂At that price I’ll take a dozen 😂
Um. No
