Шедевр ,не перестаю удивляться вашему мастерству вы настоящий Кузнец и мастер своего дела ,которых мало ,благо дарю за интересное видео и жду следующего шедевра.
When he's grinding the blade down you can see the insane callouses on his finger tips. And by the speed he turns and hammers at you can tell he's been doing this for a good long while.
That blade is stunningly beautiful. I know a little about knives, but Ive never seen one that exquisite made from scratch. Well done. The days of the craftsmen are disappearing , but artisans like you are the hope of the world.
I've been watching a lot of blacksmithing videos lately, and I have to say, this profession looks like 10% skill, 20% knowledge, 30% patience, and 40% really expensive equipment and materials.
There is much more skill/finesse/knowledge going on here than you would think. It's like watching masters doing whatever they are masters at, they make it look easier than it is. He would still be able to forge a fantastic knife with a barebones setup, it would just be more labor/time intensive.
Amazing craftsmanship. I could never keep track of how the design works with all of the folding, cutting, welding, and then the final twisting. So precise!
Вроди бы во всех видео процесс один и тотже но почемуто залипаешь и смотришь от начала до конца а в конце всегда новое чудо. Вы супер мастер своего дела. У меня другая специфика и для себя ничего полезного подчерпнуть не могу но всегда смотрю с удовольствием. Спасибо вам что показываете нам об исконно мужской профессии👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Мой дед был кузнецом, когда я был маленьким он брал меня с собой в кузницу, так что я с самого детства люблю кузнечное дело, хотя и не стал кузнецом как мой дед
What the hell! Flicking scale with your finger?? Tapping tongs?? Just when I think I’m understanding, you put be back at novice. You are one of the very best. From Texas
I've seen the tuning fork trick. Still not convinced it works, but the theory as I understand it, is that you are orienting the grain structure and banging the carbon atoms back into the center of their steel cages.
Yeah bud when I used to work in a plastic container factory, for things such as bottle bins/skips, grit boxes etc, when they first come out of the mold from being melted and cooled. I could barely touch them for a few seconds but after a few months the hands become accustomed to it. Not that you probably didn't know that just saying it incase some people didn't know. Wonderful looking damascus.
Hey I just want to say I watch a lot of blacksmithing videos and you are the best blacksmith out of them all you are great and you have so much talent thanx for your vids and keep them up
first time ever to see.. borax?, leak out when first presed,,,.. awesome knives and technique..artist, allso, love that you come from planet Earth, me too. 👍👌✌
Здравствовать всем! , а Мастеру особенно всегда с удовольствием смотрю на ваше искусство и всегда очень интересно потому как вы постоянно делаете вроде бы одно и тоже, но столько нюансов, что просто диву даёшься как Мастер помнит какие пакеты и куда складывать сколько раз перекрутить для желаемого результата огромная Благодарность за ваше творчество и за то, что делитесь со всеми нами своим опытом!!!
You should be on forged in fire. I guarantee you would win. Whenever they do a Damascus challenge I always think of this channel and know you can do it better. Keep up the good work
they make it look easy but i think its safe to say its not easy! its like a work of art, wish i had my own forge, if i could get anywhere near these guys id be happy!
Работа жесть. Но зато Дамаск круто вышло. Зачёт. Успехов и клиентов.... Береги здоровье как ни как вредность ощутимая. Жил бы рядом заказал бы нож против костей🥰🥰🥰
Have you tried doing an instant coffee etch? When you're done etching with ferric chloride, after neutralizing the acid, make up a strong, strong batch of hot instant coffee, then dunk the blade inside for about 40 minutes, then rinse with water. Makes the contrast really pop between the steel and the etch. I've seen Alec Steele doing the same recently on most of his Damascus projects, I think it'd help yours, too.
Процесс изготовления изделия показан от начала до конца и это зрелище просто завораживает! Можно вечно смотреть на горящий огонь и работу Профессионала с большой буквы
Please someone show this to the new Man At Arms channel That Works, would love to see what they think of this awesome work. So beautiful, job well done mate!!
I was wondering about that too. My only guess would be that based on the sound it creates when struck would tell the smith the temperature of the metal before quenching.
I just came to the comments to see if anyone could shed some light on the tuning fork as well....I was thinking maybe he would hear a certain note when the metal was at a particular temperature. Gonna keep looking and see if I can find out.
If you twist a rubber bar, it will flip back. There is a same force in the twisted steel bar. He needs to release the force so that the final piece won't break easily. The tuning fork is to check out if the metal structure is released enough. Sorry for my english
I've been watching your work for a while now and I have often wondered if you know ahead of time how a pattern will come out or do you just get an idea and see how it develops? In this I am referring to the damascus pattern, not the style of blade.
There is a guy in Florida that has begun making true damascus steel. He mined iron ore from one of the local mines where original damascus came from and made his own steel from it and then did the forging. The stuff most people are doing these days is damascus pattern forging/welding.
@@TanakaMatsumoto ---- And mass marketing lives on. The video on Wootz Damascus steel is interesting. With all the technology available today in powdered steels it seems is should be possible to come up with something better than the original mines had, but still, I see a lot of videos using things like rice straw and some kind of pine charcoal, a sprinkling of laurel leaves or whatever. Were they smarter? I think Mathematics came from the Middle East at some point in history, but today that area is like, um, "not exactly". What is the mastery of thought? A man can forge steel, but not thought?
I don't know what's cooler, the dragons breathe or the fact that it looks like dragons teeth are on the top and edge of the blade. Either way freaking gorgeous craftmanship👍
Cool how the flux makes it look like he’s squeezing the moisture out of the metal. The process and your craftsmanship are mesmerizing. No face no talk you’re work says it all
That is a seriously beautiful piece of steel. Would have been great to see what handle was fitting to complete it.
Eventually people understand that this guy almost never makes genius blades. Not handles. He works steel. Brilliantly. And we’re here for that.
Шедевр ,не перестаю удивляться вашему мастерству вы настоящий Кузнец и мастер своего дела ,которых мало ,благо дарю за интересное видео и жду следующего шедевра.
Knocks the forge scale off with his finger @5:48. Dude's a badass.
Yeah if you are quick enough and have lost some feeling it is possible. Still insane

He doesn’t bother going slow with that grinder, just rams it through.
It’s called stupid everywhere else.
It must be so satisfying to wipe the top layer off and see the succesful, gorgeus pattern underneath. Amazing, impressive work again.
Я в глубоком а....е твою работу можно смотреть как кино или даже сериал. Успехов тебе и здоровья Спасибо за твои видео
He have " hardened " hands over the years , by the work and experience ! A really master in steel stuff !
That blade is stunningly beautiful.
I know a little about knives, but Ive never seen one that exquisite made from scratch.
Well done. The days of the craftsmen are disappearing , but artisans like you are the hope of the world.
That pattern is bad ass. Great work done. Magnificent knife blade.
Wow, that is the most beautiful damascus that I ever seen during my long career of watching videos of people making damascus steel.
Кузнец- терминатор! Каждый раз смотрю с замиранием, на результат. Мое почтение мастеру👍

I love the sound of a live forge. It sounds like applause. Like it's celebrating that it can help the Smith craft beautiful things.

That is a beautiful blade up there in the top 3 blades I’ve seen you make
Masterful. An absolute master of his art. To just say great work doesn't do you justice. Keep them coming!
Beautiful blade pattern. Outstanding!!!
That is legitimately one of the most beautiful blades i've ever seen. Just wow.
What an awesome knife, you are really one of the best damascus smith in the world !!
That is beautiful!! I Love watching these projects from start to finish!! Such Talent!!
I so enjoy watching your work...you are an extremely talented smith sir.
one of the best damascus pattern, beautifully crafted.
First, you're a blacksmith. Second, you're an artist! Your skill is a dying art. Thanks for making these videos.
Much respect from Canada!
Truly beautiful damascus... one of the nicest patterns I've seen.
Клинок и рисунок великолепны. Как всегда , на высоте!👍👍👍
Absolutely gorgeous blade. Fantastic job sir.
No gloves were harmed in the making of this video.
the main thing is not 1 eye!
He flicks the scale off at 5:49! Crazy! lol

That is the sweetest blade I've seen in a long time. 👍👍
Stunningly beautiful blade! Thanks for sharing!
Very elegant design and creation......very.
Casually brushes white hot metal with bare finger......
He has very well developed callouses to be able to do that. Obviously he's been doing this for a long time.
Gloves are for corporate wankers.
They make your skin soft and more prone to injury.
Some blacksmiths do not like to use gloves because you can't feel the heat of the steel.
Haha i thought this too.
@@saftschinken2353 That's the most badass thing Ive ever heard.
This guy knows his stuff. True craftsman.
O padrão mais bonito que eu ja vi, linda lamina . Parabens
Ugh, that etch was so satisfying to watch.
Try it with pipe screens, the fine mesh would be interesting to see if pattern shows up. Plus they are stainless steel
One of THE nicest patterns I have ever seen! Keep up the great work!
That's the best damascus I've ever seen... Awesome job!!!!
I'm hypnotized by these videos. Awesome skills!

Hi! what's the tuning fork for
Breathtaking!Sir you are a wizard. Awesome video
That's a beautiful piece of work! Just out curiosity what is the purpose of hitting a tuning fork?
I imagine it is to align the molecular structure of the material but just a notably ignorant guess . I've never seen that before .
Would like to know also, have seen and heard of a magnet to check for proper temp to quench but a tuning fork??
