Looks good! Not a fail, but a learning curve. What you did learn will make the next one better. Recycle it. Fix it, put an edge on it, send it to me, and look like it could be a good boot knife or edc low profile carry. Put it on a belt buckle. Not a fail. Cool video. Good luck on the next one.
Wire is the hardest Sh*t EVER to get solid welds. Id rec MIG'ing literally everything to keep it together as best as ya can. The strands separate under heat a whole lot. I've never had any success without a press and corner squaring dyes to make it stay together. Its rough dude! but gooooooooodluck to ya brother.
Love watching the videos, one bit of advice I can give is when you are preparing the billet to twist, if you forget it into an octagonal shape, or even just round the corners you won’t have as many cracks or cold shuts after the twist. Also steel cable is a fairly high carbon steel. Im not sure about the stuff you used but a spark test would tell you.
Im actually liking the patten very much. Its very unique and I feel like it turned out better than you feel. I know artists like what they deem perfection in their work but never forget perfect is the enemy of good. Someone, like me, likes it even if you dont. Good work, stay after it.
That is the fastest furnace I’ve ever seen the metal is in there less than 3 seconds and it’s hot! 😊😊😊😊. The powder question comes up on every metal working video
Every great inventor will tell you. I dont know the best way to make something but i can tell you every other way not to. Keep trying and one day, you will have the same experience, if not better than others.
It usually took a few days for the forging. Treadle hammers have been around for a long time but before that they used apprentices and even their wives as strikers. What took time was the grinding and the making of the hilts. Scabbards took time as well. Different craftsmen did that work, though.
Its to bad the weld didn't go as planned but still very cool looking. Make another one. If it comes out like this but actually welded don't polish it. Very unique look to that knife.
It almost looks like your press is too slow. You're losing a lot of heat before you move a lot of material. The damascus is pretty, nonetheless. Keep it up!
OK, great. What can you harden it to? How long will it hold an edge? Is it brittle, or have a tendency to edge chip? How easy or difficult is it to resharpen?
It's flux. Many smiths will just use borax (found in the laundry detergent aisle of most grocery stores). There's a variety of things you can use like that.
Its the twisting.. never saw a twisting lattern look great. The cleaner and simpler the pattern, the better. Watch the show The Bear. "Subtract." Every artist should see that show.
I think you needed to fold peace couple of times when you welds the steel and then to make knife shape and i don't understand why people making Damascus steel and then make such a small knife!??
Have to tell ya, all that amazing steps you did, super impressed until I seen the tooth pick you made with that. You should of made a real knife, still impressed by the pattern though
I cringe like hell every time he put the hot billet on the wood, we have anvils for a reason, ya wood helps the metal maintain heat better but it comes at the massive risk of starting a workshop fire. It's just not worth it, if it was we wouldn't have anvils.
Thank you TH-cam reccomended
I was not aware I liked blacksmithing videos but now I am
You might like shurap aswell he makes damascus steel alot
same 😅
I can’t believe I watched this whole thing just for him to say at the end that he didn’t finish because it sucked
😊
Steel too cold
Yes. Thanks for your comment bruh.
That guy owes 11:00 minutes of our life back
Watching the flux melt is so satisfying

Totally, Definitely worth making it to learn from
I’m not a blacksmith, but what is the white powder that he uses?
Не ошибается тот,кто ничего не делает! Успехов в постижении истины!
Too bad you couldn’t finish it, but it still looks really cool! Maybe it could be decorative?
definitely
"this blade turned out terrible"
"Like and subscribe for more builds like this"

You shouldn’t waste all your Coke on that metal cable friend.
You deserve more Views and Abos
this is amazing
اتمنى عدم تجاهل ردي واجد إجابة.. السؤال ماهو المسحوق الأبيض الذي يضعه الحداد على القطعة المعدنية الساخنة
I'm wondering the same thing.
Es Borax,se usa como fundente,ayuda para un mejor caldeado
I bought some 1.5” plow steel wire rope last year. I’m looking forward to trying it. Plow steel is supposed to be 1095 from what I’ve read.

Forge welds were too cold, blade probably wasn’t very strong
How can you tell the temperature of it through a screen
@@thereoccolor of the steel
And its not damascus.
your work is extraordinary
Thank you
I think it looks good. Keep it going.
Hi I just sub one question wat is that powder that everyone put on the iron when it's warm
Borax.
What is that white stuff you sprinkle on it?
Hi dear friend
What is the withe material u use?
I think it isn't sult
what is the white stuff you coated the steel with and why ?
where do you think it went wrong and why?
How many layers did you add?
Heartbreaking. But, quality come with sacrifice and dedication. Great video.
Blacksmith art is still well and alive
What is the name of this white powder that holds steel together
Borax

I've known for a while what flux is and why it's used...but this is the first time anyone's mentioned what it is chemically. Thanks.
*works quietly for hours*
“damn my knife sucks”
What powder is that?
thank you for the Borax explanation

Quelle est cette poudre blanche / grise ?
first time i saw a mistake.....still learned some shit.....thanks
That's actually badass
Was it because you twisted then you layered again.. and lost the pattern?
Idont think it was a waste of my time. I still enjoyed the process and still looks beautiful to me ❤
What’s the white stuff is sprinkling on there
Borax.
You could go on Forged in Fire and still win with this “fail” honestly I think you’d kill the competition
lol no
Better than being lied too
@@bloodgoutwhy tf?
@BladeLuxeTV what press do you use?
Like Make/Model???
I made my own, the hydraulic ones are like a few grand. mines just a 20 ton pneumatic car jack with framing around it.
Best butter knife on the planet.
Trying to work it when it is too cold a lot of the time.😊
I thought so while I was watching that every time he hit it or used a press it got cold way too fast.
What is the powder?
Flux
I love watching your videos
That is the fastest furnace I’ve ever seen the metal is in there less than 3 seconds and it’s hot! 😊😊😊😊. The powder question comes up on every metal working video
When it cools it looks like a barbecued rib
Yummy

Badass as always. Before hydraulic presses, it must have taken months if not years, to make something like this. Stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
hand hammers are actually a lot faster than most people realize. a good blacksmith in those days could probably forge this in a few weeks
@Wildkirblet thanks for responding. That's very interesting. You have an incredible skill bro.🙏🇺🇲

Has a red box piece of metal ever flipped back and hit you?
No I don’t think so but I get burned all the time
Its to bad the weld didn't go as planned but still very cool looking. Make another one. If it comes out like this but actually welded don't polish it. Very unique look to that knife.
Thank you…. Didn’t come out as I thought it would but I’ll definitely do it again and change up the steps

is it salt ?

A good work actually. You should finish it.
Flux protects the welding surfaces from out atmosphere
You need to get the final shape on the forge and not rely a lot on the grinders
Well done for a hobby
I like the look of it. Woodgrain , elvish blade
From the lines it appears that each carbon layer is uneven.
Bro, safety first work next.
This guy did a lot of work for very little knife.
Salt to season, wood to give it smokey flavor... otherwise the forge won't chew on it. Right? Did I win?
The white stuff is bauxite, to help melt the steel. I could be wrong.
It’s borax flux. It prevents oxidation
That's what's Damascus
That's what's the point of Damascus
Alot of material was used and wasted. Good try though. Forge welding is an art. Not everyone can do it. Especially me. I know I would mess it up.
Why disappointed? I think it's beautiful work.
Its the twisting.. never saw a twisting lattern look great. The cleaner and simpler the pattern, the better. Watch the show The Bear. "Subtract."

Bro, what is your hand made up of? 😨
Menggunakan metode pelintir. Proses yang bagus
All that wasted material for an itty bitty knife? Who else was hoping for a knife for food prep? This was a video that should've never been uploaded.
Your finishing work would've been a TON easier if you'd waited to quench it till you'd had it fully ground down
This is cool but it looks like burnt steak when you press it lol
Maybe it came out wrong because of all the cocaine you sprinkled on it 💁♂️😂
Yes, beautiful
Wtf was that ending you can’t just do that to us man!
I think you needed to fold peace couple of times when you welds the steel and then to make knife shape and i don't understand why people making Damascus steel and then make such a small knife!??
experience is an accumulation of errors.
So you didn’t finish it, and wasted 11 minutes of our time? Thanks for that.
Fantastic Blacksmithing...................However that is absolutely not in anyway shape or form Damascus, it's forge welded.
Hello there Captain Pedant. How's your day going? Corrected any other colloquialisms today?

Have to tell ya, all that amazing steps you did, super impressed until I seen the tooth pick you made with that. You should of made a real knife, still impressed by the pattern though
Still good result...
0:14 thats what i tell the cops
White stuff is salt, I think..it melts at the right temp to forge or whatever.. saw it on FORGE IN FIRE
The white stuff is borax
And it’s used to prevent oxidation
The White stuff is probably salt or baking soda
It's borax.

Do katana next
I’d like to make one soon!
@@BladeLuxeTV cant wait
They make these already completed. It will save you time and money on having to buy equipment to make one.
It seems like there are too many processes that are useless, and I don't think the results are perfect
Let’s see your process and see how it turns out
Are people not allowed to just create things for fun? It doesn't have to be perfect.
Where is your Chanel so we can see your knives and the process you use
Which of these processes would you consider useless
Awesome knife
Finnish your knife. Many more mistakes to be made on fittings and handle. Keep it and review it. To remind you how far you have come.
You twisted out the core.
You were good up until the twist.
Lesson learned man.
Why post the video?
Why u watch it ?
Pense que el cuchillo iva a ser mucho mas grande
I still thought the pattern was cool. If ot was a better material id have loved to buy it.
It looks alright, I just thought the pattern would be different, but just experimenting I guess
Nice work but that’s a no from me dawg
Could you send me one of these?!?!
Why would he give you something for free after he did all that work? Offer some money.
@@bloodgoutwhy sit here and hate when you could be spending ur time doing something better
nice
nice
such a long tang for such a stubby blade....
Tôi và bạn có phải là anh em không vậy ? tặng 1 cây đi bạn ơi 😂

Omg.... All that work just for one measly little knife waste of time
