- The making of a Damascus steel Nakiri chef knife from start to finish. A nakiri is primarly used to process vegtables. The steel used was 1095/15n20 of approximately 83 layers. The steel was fully DET annealed in the kiln before heat treating and tempered after quenching. Thanks for watching!

The tinge on the blade just tied it all together. The handle, the Damascus, the work of art. What a knife!!!
Thanks much appreciated
I really like how the pyramid Damascus came out. Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
A REAL Craftsman at work, turning an element into a beautiful tool.
Thank you very much!
That's a beautiful Chefs knife,
Excellent workmanship!
Thank you very much!
The handle is rocking as well!!❤❤
I have literally hundreds of knife making videos, this is the best one I have ever seen!
Fantastic work as always. Nobody draws out a tang quite a skillfully as you do.
Thank you! Cheers!
That was gorgeous before you put a handle on it. The handle put it over the top, beautiful work of art.
Thank you very much!
What a unique and wonderful knive. It is truly beautiful
There is something zen about watching knives being forged. enjoyed the video.
Amazingly beautiful. A million dollar knife.
One of the coolest setups with a variety of tools I've ever seen. Love to see all that equipment put to use like that. Could make a simple knife but it's cool to see a lofty goal achieved with ease.
The billet in the cover photo looks insane!
That was an exquisite piece of workmanship sir well done.
Now thats a wicked pattern in steel!! ❤❤
Gorgeous
Great craftsmanship
What a joy to be able to create food with such a nice blade!
Absolutely Beautiful Knife, Great work 👍
Wow. Beautiful knife.
Easily one of the most mesmerising things I've ever watched. I think I might have feelings for that knife.
what kind of feelings? ❤❤❤
@@SERGEANT_SYRAX complicated ones 😂
Nicely done, thanks for showing us.
Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥Excellent work. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks for watching!
thats some next lvl shit going on.
that is what happends when you really love and understand your craft.
mad amounts of respect to you
That wood bolster was a killer choice!
Just wow. Well done. Beautiful piece
Thank you very much!
the faceting on the handle is very nice. great piece mate.
Thank you very much!
That is one heck of a pattern. Nicely done!
I'm sorry man, that's not a knife...that's a work of art!!
Never apologize for being right!
I will never use it for cutting, I’ll hang it on the wall on my saloon, or cheat a display case for it 😂😂😂😂
I agree with that for sure!
That is awesome! Love the pattern, I would love to own that piece of art.
Much appreciated and thank you for watching!
I make some bushcraft type knives as a hobby, but this is art
Thanks much appreciated
What a beautiful knife you've created. But beyond beauty which is just an object pleasing to the eye, this tool goes beyond its looks and is a proper cutting implement that if taken care of will be in service for a very very long time into the future long beyond our own lives.
I would be proud to own and use that knife or any knife created by you.
That is a gorgeous knife/work of art! You are very talented and skilled.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely a beautiful work of art.
That was awesome.
He would win every single game of Knifey spooney he ever played with that thing!
Absolutely *STUNNING* 🧡
Great pattern
Hi, You are truly inspiring, very nice work. I haven't made a knife for many years, maybe now I'll give it a try.
Rich👍
That is some amazing work.
Thank you very much!
the griffin is very cool
Beautiful craftsmanship
Absolutely awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Incredible work as always 👏👏
Thanks for watching again!🙏
This is very beautiful, but I expected the pyramid process to produce a more geometric pattern.
I think if the peaks were perfectly offset it would have kept more uniform pattern. Cutting with a mill would help greatly
That would be a pleasure to use. Sublime
Thats amazing!
Спасибо за видео!
Stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ooof that handle profile
Gorgeous
That's wicked cool!
I love it!
well done!
Very nice. I would suggest gloves and a face shield on that polisher though.
It's a very weak motor which I can stall by hand but yes it's the most dangerous tool! I had eye protection off camera
Next level bro
Very nice! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic.
Many thanks!
That is beautiful work of art. Very well done in my humble opinion.
Major artwork.
Perfect...!!! 👍
Thanks ✌️
beautiful pattern, next time try to make a sword with slightly more precise pattern. would be fire!
Great suggestion!
Fan-tastic!!
Many thanks!
Beautiful
Bravo 👏🏼 masterful
Eat your heart out Cutco.
Wow amazing. You got yourself a new follower 💪🏽
Шедевр!
Very nice. Would be appreciated if you sim the brightness during the welds. 🙏
Noted!
Sorry, ‘dim’.
6:25 That is wild looking. It would be cool to see it etched at this point.
7:57 Why did you cut out the full tang instead of reshaping one? It seems like there would be less work involved if you did.
Didn't want to drag the pattern up at the heel by hot forming. Was a bit sick that day so accidentally thinned the blade a bit too much, ideally should have formed the tang earlier would have been better!
Thought this was a shurap video at first
You get it that black etched with using just HCL ? Jeez, I keep messing around with nitric acid, ferric chloride and really strong coffee...
Been using Gator piss etchant or hcl/5%ferric for the pattern depth and hcl for final blackening recently. Hcl seems a bit harder wearing than coffee and quicker which is nice and doesn't muddy the 15n20. Loads of degreasing and cleaning after the buffing off camera
Es simplemente hermoso.
beautiful😀
Thank you! Cheers!
Does it cut as good as it look though??
Спасибо, очень красивый нож. Огромная работа! Привет из России!!!😅
Thanks for watching!
Very good
Nice
Thanks
Wow! That's outstanding. Beyond words.
How many hours did that take?
One day before my shoulder is totally shot, i want to attempt to forgeca knife
I always thought Shurap wasn’t alone. I am not a knife maker but I have made many in my shop. Hydraulic press, two powerhammers, heat treat oven, etc. I understand what you are doing but I’ve never tried it. What was the green liquid you painted on prior to heat cycling? What a stack! You had to cut away part of your fuel bucket! What steels did you use. I typically make hammers and other tools. At 67, I am ready to try Damascus. New subscriber too. TEXAS.
I’m curious about the green stuff too.. absolutely brilliant work.
Thanks for watching, It's anti scale compound and the steel is 1095/15n20. Awesome best of luck with your Damascus!
Muy bonito
Wow, nice Work! i really like the handle, too - is that karelian birch and bog oak? I'm in the making of a Nakiri as well, but i just use stock steel that i custom etch. i might cosider this color combination for the handle :) Awsome work mate
Thanks for watching, yes Karelian birch with fumed black oak. Best of luck with it!
looks like the tear drop thing. and kinda the same concept, just with a lot of grinding instead of drilling.
Magnificent
That's beautiful, Can I have it
Beautiful blade, brother! I have a question that might seem kind of silly. When you edit your videos, do you you speed up the footage while using the press? The reason that I ask, is because I want a reference of time, for when I start using a press. Thanks in advance!
does the pushing and pulling the blade when quenching do anything, I'm thinking not but would still do the same. fyi: way I hear it the good swordsmiths would hammer out the Tine and use the heat from that to start the fire that forges the blade.
Breaks up the bubbling/air pockets. I've seen some videos demonstrating in clear jars seems to be somewhat important
Nice!
Nice work. Do you add a dowel into the handle as well? Or do you just add the glue?
Im trying to master a good method of making kitchen knife handles so I'm considering the dowel method.
Yes a slotted dowel to centre the tang. Gflex epoxy aswell
Question: What are you using for flux? Kerosene?? Does 1 dip work? What tonnage is your press?
So ein Messer hätte ich sehr gerne, nur kann ich es mir nicht leisten. Tolle Arbeit.
Imagine he just tosses it on the floor at the end of the video.
WOW !!!
Is 'Pyramid Damascus' a new thing? I watch a lot of damascus forging videos, and this is my first time hearing of Pyramid Damascus... also, why are some of the pieces blue?
Is that a sand/gravel quench? Or just something to dissipate the heat?
Vermiculite for slow cooling makes the steel a bit softer to grind
What is that liquid you dip the stack into before it goes into the heat? And why? Thanks in advance.
What are the blisters on the surface during forging? Delams?
Oxidation from the forge flames. Like crust on bread basically
How do you get the fuller in the blade like that? Was that that spinning water-stone looking tool? If so, what is that tool/process called? I thought maybe it was some kind of sharpening method...
What was the green stuff you painted on it before heating it back up again.
Anti scale compound
Muhteşem
whats the green stuff you brushed on there? And what's it for?
Anti scale compound, stops oxidation during heating. Like burnt toast you have to scrape the top layer off to get the good stuff
I want one.
