I loved the choice of hammers when adding the blades to the canister. As bladesmiths we have all lll these hammers and 9 times out of 10 I never use them on little things like that. Gorgeous blade, thanks for this.
Sweet little knife. If I could offer one wee suggestion..a coffee etch would've taken it to the next level😬 Still, it is a beautiful piece anyway mate🇦🇺🇦🇺🙋♂️🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@neville4451 thanks and I believe you are correct. Normally the gator piss gets me better contrast so I stopped doing coffee. For some reason it didn’t work as well. I wish I would have done coffee
I don’t know why you couldn’t. Generally you want to remove the canister to get to see the pattern of the materials inside. But I’m sure it would still work
PATTERN WELDED STEEL. Not Damascus. Real Damascus does not exist anymore. The composition of metals was lost a long time ago. The closest you can get to Damascus is Wootz Crucible Steel and still the exact formula is unknown.
Actually the original formula for Wootz damascus was rediscovered some years ago in America, but the argument that the word "damascus" shouldn't be used for pattern welded steel is tiresome. The word has been used to identify this patterned steel for over 150 years, and is used by every master smith out there.
I commend to your attention the TH-cam video "The Secrets of Wootz Damascus Steel," which details how Al Pendray rediscovered the process and ore used to make the original damascus steel.
Absolutely gorgeous knife. Well done.

Great work by the way. Not just picking at stupid stuff. Just trying to prevent a dumb accident.

Beautiful 😍 🤩 knife, bro
@@guillermoalfaro2714 thank you very much.
Pattern came out very nice. Great job.
@@the_fafologist thank you. I have already prepped another canister to do another one.
Looks great! I’m afraid to twist a canister but you gave me inspiration ❤️🔪
@@jcubetube3778 thanks and I understand the hesitation. I have had a few rip apart on me while twisting
I like it! Thanks for sharing😀
@@harryvanniekerk7269 thank you very much
Looks great Jay! I’m not a fan of canister, but that turned out very nice

Could you use a harder material as a canister instead of sheet Metal
I don’t know why you couldn’t. Generally you want to remove the canister to get to see the pattern of the materials inside. But I’m sure it would still work
Do you sell your work?
@@MillerWB87 I do. I’m on instagram but don’t post as much on there as I should. Facebook @4wknives is the best place to see.
Those hoodie strings are going to get you in trouble
@@ScottNewson-g8s good tip. Never thought about it.

@ agreed. My thought is this. People can call it whatever they want to call it. lol.
