You come up with some of the most unique ideas! I also think viewers might not understand how complicated it is to forge an integral guard like this. Well done, great build! 👍🏻
Thanks! I can't say the integral was executed terribly well, but I'm pretty happy with the pattern welded
Both of you two give me headaches Lol those copper Ka bars were something else!! This Bowie is awesome too, can’t say the pattern was worth the trouble but it turned unique for sure. I’m working on a canister piece now, it’s 3-5 different sized ball bearings with powdered steel filler. I’m gonna do something with makuma gana for the guard I think, unsure Lol thanks to both of ya!! You’ve inspired the shit out if me 👍🏼😁
That guards is nuts man, I didn't realize it was integral. Jeez, I wish that all the viewers understood the awesomeness of this build.
Thanks man! It was a challenging build
I like how you explain everything most of the other knife makers don't thank you for that
It's like mossy oak bottomland. The best and only camo pattern anyone ever needed! :-) I love this thing
i LOVE the guard/handle of this knife. i'm not a big fan of the damascus but this Is a masterpiece
Looks like you keep the word of God close by, that’s awesome! Great looking knife!
I love how much of the process you show. I really feel like I watched this knife being born 😊
How much would a Blacksmith sell a knife like that! It is absolutely a beautiful Bowie!! Well done Sir!!
😱😱😱😮😮😮😮 wow! That’s the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve seen many.
Thanks a bunch!
This "Bowie Challenge" has been months in the making. You don't want to miss any of the builds. I think you'll be intrigued by the method I'm using to build my Bowie knife, and I think you'll like the final results.
Absolutely love it great job 👍
I liked yours the most, everyone else did a very good job, i just like the creativeness with the pattern and the fact its a integral full tang knife. Roughly how much steel was needed to shape the guard handle and knife, a few pounds?
@@dgundeadforge17 thanks! It was probably 3+ pounds to start with..
@@dgundeadforge17he keeps pushing the envelope and makes it look more simple then it is trust me I have the cuts to prove it but my favorite part as a blacksmith he is more genuine he doesn't cut corners he forge's them
I really like the randomness of the bearings. I think this might be a fun one to see you do lots of variations on that canister. Maybe some folds or flips and such. Regardless, beautiful work!
It's so solid, a beautiful knife
Thanks man!
Your innovativeness and ideas you just try , just to see what happened is why I love this channel
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks!
This pattern is WOW ! 🤩
And the integral construction is just perfect ... really great job ! 👍
Glad you like it!
Damn! That's new to me! Can't wait to try some canister stuff myself, hopefully soon! The pattern you got looks awesome, very unique! Mitosis damascus 😎 Congrats man!
Thanks man!
I am going through watching everyone from the bowie challenge, and you are the first one to do scales out of the 8 I have seen so far! Great work, it looks awesome
Omg dude I love that Damascus pattern. I am very impressed on the method you used to get it. Very simple way to get an outstanding look on the Bowie build. One of my favorite blade designs. I will remember that little nugget of a trick for the pattern. Awesome job man. Love your work.
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
We got a contender!
BRAH, Do you ever screw up. You just don't miss. Nice job!
Dude, I am groovy! I love it. What an amazing idea that you have come up with! Your Bowie came out insane! I love how thick the guard looks. AA+ bro
Thanks man!
Nice. It is a hard way for blade making. You win my vote.
That's a truly unique piece of work alright
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Thank you bro.🤝
Man, that RCD is legit! Good looking knife sir!
Thanks man!
That’s nicer than Jim Bouie ever carried. Nice, nice
Thanks!
I think you came up with an awesome concept and really executed it well. Amazing work!!
Stunning build, you explain everything really well, too,
Very creative! I am getting a press so I'll be able to join the ranks of you all making custom steels. Nice work and thanks for the inspiration. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thanks Brian! Yeah, you'll like having a press.
I love the process and the outcome. Well done sir.
Thank you very much!
Awesome work Eli! I think you came up with an awesome concept and really executed it well. Such an interesting pattern. Love how it looks around the tip.
I knew about canister damascus but that is a whole new level of creativity!
Excellent!
Good work Sir 👍👏
Best one yet Eli!!! I’m loving it!
💪🏼🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Wolf!
NIce work! Great flags!
Great work man!! That’s was crazy! Really like the integral guard!🔥💪🏻⚒
Thanks man!!
Amazing knife. Very unique idea and I love how it turned out in the end, never seen a pattern like that. Amazing craftsmanship making an integral guard to see to the complex pattern already.
Love that pattern!
Thank you!
My favorite, just awesome👏🔥
Cool pattern, nice knife, good luck..
turned out great ,
Thanks!
Let's just say I've never seen that type of canister process before and color me impressed!
Thanks for watching!!
Turned out awsome!
Thank you!!
Very nice work. Keep it up I enjoy watching.
Very nice piece you made there sir. Well done.
Very informative amazing !
Crocodile Dundee called, he wants that knife.
Haha nice
This is the best one great work
Thank you, I appreciate it!
very like it, lot of work with the integral guard, impressive
Great work man. I mean wow! That pattern did turn out amazing, and the quality of the steel would be impressive too. Thanks for sharing 👍👍⚒️
awesome knife very cool design and love the pattern Mark
Wow! Very cool!
I enjoyed your bowie build the most, so you get my vote!
The damascus looks great, the integral guard rly shows your skill and i love how it all turned out in the end.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
That pattern is 🔥🔥🔥
good job
Nice blade!
great knife
Might be one of my favorite knives you've made on here. Makes me want to build a press and a bigger forge. I'm just at the hand forging level as of now so such a big integral guard would be pretty hard given my setup. Awesome work!
Wow... that came out the bees knees, Man. I've never seen a guard done from the same chunk of steel as the blade and tang, before. That's just great work, Sir.
Thank you!
@@FireCreekForge absolutely. Much deserved.
A beautiful job first time I see a blacksmith makes the guard of the knife one piece with the blades with the whole knife I like it a lot Is this for sale,
Same pattern, but drill the holes in at a 45 degree angle. That would look even more epic.
That guard alone was worth subscribing! Sweet pattern, got to try that at some point....
Thanks!!
Bowie came out awesome. sorry had to vote for beetle greens his pattern looks really cool
Beautiful Blade!
I would be Torn in Two! Whether to get this Blade Bloody… Or Keep it in a Display Case… 😎
Now it needs a Bad Ass Leather Sheath in which to carry it…
looks amazing dude... thats gonna be one tough Bowie knife!!!
Thank you for saying Bowie correctly. You can teach Dennis Tyrell how to say it
Parabens ficou linda
Loved it
Thanks man!
Awesome job bud
Thank you!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you!
I love the blade! Now I'm just trying to picture how it would have looked if you twisted the billet. Fantastic work, as always.
That's an idea. Thanks for watching!
well definitely I'll Voit on you 😂 love it
Pattern is not what I expected. Completely forgot about the ball bearings. Turned out really neat. I like it
Cool, thanks!!
Great build! This is probably the strongest and most useful knife of the lot being that it is a solid one piece including the guard, but that said, a contrasting guard of another metal really makes a knife look great. If I had to choose one to use in the outdoors, this would be the one that gets my vote, as it is rugged and strong, but not too pretty that I'd care if it got beat up during use.
This challenge is really showing off some out of the box creations. I would like to see more with this kind of pattern. What other metals can we put in there?
Nice looking blade, like the pattern. Regards from Down Under.
Thank you!!
Nice job, subscribed
Thank you!
Pure beauty
Great idea looked very interesting, I thought you were going to cut it and stack like for mosaic and was wondering about the integral setup, now I get it hehe :) Great Blade.
Glad you like it!
Thats what I was thinking, hope it turns out. Way to get out of the box!
Thank you!
Very cool. Wonder what it would look like if you twisted the block?
Damn man you’ve got the right attention to go places with this!! You do a great job and videos aren’t horribly edited Lol I wouldn’t do it!! Editing sounds like the worst part. Congrats man, I subbed immediately 👍🏼 good luck and thanks for sharing all this with us.
17:42 "... as all things should be".
anyway. nice job!
🔥🔥🔥
🤔🤔🤔🤔 this gives me an idea, dot matrix pictures as the pattern, different sizes, different shades, maybe even possible to get someone with enough talent to make it look like a photograph of somebody. 🤫
Hi Elijah! I have no idea how many days you've been drilling those holes Man- respect😂! Totaly awesome knife construction- it must be super solid and you spent a long day to grind it to shape! Big thumbs up from me! and +1sub! Regards, David!
Thanks David!
It turned out awesome! That's the 2nd or 3rd type of Damascus I've seen you come up with nobody else has done. Bravo! I'll be watching all the others but you were the first. I'll be voting afterwards. I'm not sure if you mentioned the type of steel the billet you started with was?
Thank you! Yep, it's 1060 steel
Looks awesome! What procedure do you do for normalizing and grain refinement? I have made a few Ball Bearing Damascus knives myself. Just curious what you do. I will hopefully be getting my own heat treating oven soon.
Check out my play list on the front page of the channel here on using 52100 steel for knives
Hell yeah
Awesome knife man.. wish I had voted now.. sorry
Very cool design idea. Finished dimensions?
I seen a video the other day that used a dolphin wired out..and then put into to make Damascus. I would love to cut something out at work and send it to you.. I'm still working on my press..it's on the back burner for now. But I'm a machinist that has access to an EDM wire. Maybe some skulls or something like that.
Very nice. Where you buy your 1060 and powdered from ? Thank you
Thanks for watching. The 1060 came from a local supplier, it's actually manufactured in Seguin, TX. The powdered steel came from Jantz Supply online.
@@kevinlipka4336 Teinert steel in Lubbock
I know I'm not as famous as some of y'all, but I would be willing to give this a try next time. If y'all do another one, how do I enter?
Didn’t know you were in Texas either!
Yep!
@@FireCreekForge SOOOOO Collaboration? Maybe?
@@we_build_it we'll have to discuss that, yes
Bsdass knife. I wonder what you would do for a beefy camp bowie?
Can someone please tell me when the voting was done and who won? I have been searching for the day, but I know I must have missed it. Thank you everybody.
Probably a dumb question, but how well does 1060 retain an edge?
It's suited for applications like a heavy chopping knife, it has more toughness than abrasion resistance. For example, 5160 has the same carbon content as 1060 (0.60%) but with 0.80% chromium.
Дружище что за музыка в конце видео играет?
Man midway there the billet looked like shit, only someone as skilled as you could have turned tha lump of steel on such a beautiful blade
Well, thanks haha
