For people ,who have never forged a blade in their life, and are just users'collectors. Guys, this is how you properly make a knife! I've seen both in person and on TH-cam videos, some of the best makers in the world. So,it's not just my opinion from my personal experience and knowledge, I've seen and I've spoken with hundreds of makers. Do not get excited, with all that marketing nowdays, which makes you believe, that a good knife, is one made of the highest technology power metallurgy steel. It's what this makers does, that makes a perfect knife!!! Those details, like the amount of water he uses while grinding to avoid overheating the steel and so many other details, are what maters the most. Geometry and heat treatment, are also more important, than steel itself is. In the same time, I bet his blades, hold their edge as a Vanadis 4 Extra does, while in the same time, they have some of the best, if not THE best edge stabiliity you can have on a blade.
I really like this particular feather pattern. The addition of the saw blades into it gives it a wonderful break in the feathers and is beautiful. "Happy little accidents!" My new favorite pattern.
Two comments: 1. I really like this video because of your narrative of your trial and error approach to making this knife... what went well, what didn't, etc. 2. I don't know why, but somehow I'm am not satisfied unless I see a new knife or sword CUT something. That is the "icing on the cake" that proves that you made something beautiful, without sacrificing its utility. Nothing fancy... cutting a sheet of paper is fine!
Every time they do canister Damascus on "Forged in Fire" I'm always marveling that nobody takes the can and puts it on top of any machine that vibrates, so as to get the powder to settle. But bringing the sawzall to the cannister? Next level!!!!
Also works for getting air out of a concrete pour.... FYI . Hopefully you never ever have to pour the devil's diarrhea, but if you do here's a good way to get the air out of it. 👍👍
That's just stunning. It's not an overly elaborate knife, but that's part of it's beauty. Sweet lines, clean curves, great proportions, and that stunning blade. Yikes. Really nice.
We became big fans of forging from watching Forged in Fire - and now search out the topis on TH-cam. Just found your channel. That feather pattern damascus is amazing and my husband now wants a "steak knife" made with that pattern. Will keep an eye on your website for something suitable!
really like the interrupted......fine vs the additional materials you incorporated......have watched a lot of feather and never seen that one.....need to keep it as one of your patterns
I really appreciate your voice-over giving details/explanations of what we're seeing (I don't really know much about forging but am very interested in it). Great videos, thanks man!
I can't believe the finish you've achieved on this knife. You're work is some of the best I've seen! The detail work is something else👌 you're an extremely talented man
A good bit of my childhood was spent in my dad's shop and it was always a good day when I managed to find a ball bearing on the floor. They were a rare find and seemed to provide endless amounts of fun. Maybe your kid is going to have similarly fond memories of ball bearings :)
The most plain working knife you will ever see BUT with the most awsome pattern in a blade,wen I say plain workin knife,…. It’s a nice length for ya belt or boot,nothing fancy bout the handle shape or blade shape BUT that feather pattern turned Cinderella into a princess👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very nice result. Can't tell from that, that it is your first go at feather damascus👍! Like your explanations, easy to understand , and i LOVE your sense of humour: "That is a technical term, goo"... First time I see that orientation of the feather on the finished knife - pointing away from the hand towards the tip. Everybody else (that I have seen..) put it pointing from tip towards hand. Beautiful!
Elijah that pattern looks awesome it came out really nice i love how you think about these new projects cant wait to whatelse you have up your sleeve Mark 👍👍
WOW! Incredible work my brother! I've heard the talk about a feather damascus pattern, but your work ethic to create such a beautiful instrument is awesome! Thanks, keep the videos coming sir!
I like the fact that blacksmiths have technical terms like 'Goo.' As a geologist I once described the vein we were looking at as 'squiggly' and was asked if that was a true geological term. I assured the investor that it was. 😂
(to @rockbutcher) As an engineer, (civil) who worked in gold and silver mines, I also chided the geologists (irreverently referred to as "pebble fairies") for making predictions about minerals drilled out hundreds of feet below surface. And then, even more mysterious are the geologists who expound about Martian geology and even geology of other stars and planets. I mean, how TF do they do that?
@@slichens1927 You sure sound like one. There's a reason why after 32 years in the industry there are only 5 mining engineers that I will allow to sit with me in my fishing boat. Go find, delineate and then define your own orebody Champ.
@@rockbutcher AWW c'mon RB. I was just tryin' to make a bit o fun (at your expense, of course). You sure you haven't got a rock hammer in your, uh, back pocket today?
I had an MRI on my back and had two vertabrae out of alignment. I told my PCP I had two vertebrae out of whack. He asked if that was a medical term and I told him it could be.

Always great to watch you work
Your voice over and explanation s are spot on
Love the voice overs. I would rather hear what you observe and your ideas as you work at it, and you have a good voice for it.
That came out awesome. Enjoy your videos and commentary explaining what we are watching.
That is really nice, especially for the first time! Cute little boy too!
Outstanding! Looks like opposing waterfalls. Tutorial was spot on.
Easily the most beautiful Damascus you have made so far imo
That's probably the nicest looking blade I've ever seen!
Thanks!!

I am in complete awe.
Good work….. congrats from Germany 🇩🇪 🎉
your face expression, while you're working - priceless
That turned out BEAUTIFUL!
I like that "iron sharpens iron" shirt. 🙂 Nice knife, too.
If you stuck a speaker next to your canister playing 'Whole Lotta Love' I bet that powder would settle real nice.
I really appreciate your voice-over giving details/explanations of what we're seeing (I don't really know much about forging but am very interested in it). Great videos, thanks man!
That's really beautiful in a strange and different kind of way!!!!
Outstanding masterpiece...
Really one of the best feather patterns I have seen 👍

That's a really nice pattern for a double-edge dagger or sword!!
That is super beautiful
Absolutely beautiful.!!!!!!
Lovely work!
You do what I want to do it's amazing!
I feel like the addition of the bandsaw blade steel was a fortunate accident. Made the feather even more distinct.
It did turn out in the end, thanks for watching!
A good bit of my childhood was spent in my dad's shop and it was always a good day when I managed to find a ball bearing on the floor. They were a rare find and seemed to provide endless amounts of fun. Maybe your kid is going to have similarly fond memories of ball bearings :)
At 4:00 you can see how hot the blanks are even tho they're at least a foot or better away from the log. Pretty cool
JUST BEAUTIFUL

Awesome, friend. Great build video.
Awsome patteren great job!

As per usual I am hopelessly enthralled by this dedication to the craft, awesome brother
Thank you for the video and God bless your soon!... Hugs from Lisbon.

That turned out super cool. Far different from many other feather patterns I've seen. I really like the thick bands between the feathers. Nice work!
Thanks!!
Elijah that pattern looks awesome it came out really nice i love how you think about these new projects cant wait to whatelse you have up your sleeve Mark 👍👍
Very cool patern...
