Cool build. Another nice, silent video. I am a big fan of you making silent videos as well as ones with talking and ones with hardcore metallurgy. That mix is very pleasant to watch. 👍☀️👍.
Wicked pattern! Not sure what brand that trowel was but I’m pretty sure the Marshalltown brand was a hardened steel. My brother was a commercial brick and block layer his whole adult life and trowels were his favorite tool. No kidding I watched him use them as knives and machetes when needed, cutting whatever needed it on the job-site. He would cut the steel band on pallets of brick and never had an edge deformation. Seeing you turn one into a beautiful knife brought back some memories! Thanks for the videos
Was a pleasure meeting you and your family today at the market. I apparently have followed your channel for a while and didn’t even put 2 and 2 together. I hope to purchase a few more knives from you soon. Best wishes!
That knife is absolutely stunning 😮 this is similar to what my face looked liked at the end of the video When it comes to knife and blade content on TH-cam you are legend! Great work Elijah ! 👊
I love that bold pattern! The more bold random patterns are so much more eye catching for me. I need to get back in my shop/barn and forge something. It's just been too hot in TN.
Love it , came out great , the pattern is awesome. Wish I could send you my old stuff and make me a knife like that. Let me know if you would be interested
Great knife as always, Elijah. Can you make a video using this technique, I used for the Canadian nickel coins. Using a canister and magnets. Put the nickel patterned pieces in place, with the magnets holding them. Fill the canister with steel and powder. Make a blade. Use star and half moons, Xmas trees or whatever you fancy.
You just gotta flex that you have a press….using it for stuff is regular joes have to do by hand like breaking old handles. KIDDING. Great work per usual
Another awesome piece Elijah! I noticed you added a lot of badging to your equipment. Are there people trying to steal your content? Anyway thanks again for sharing!
Great looking knife as always. I’m curious, do you know what kind of steel you have when using scraps etc, or can you tell the quality by working with it? Also, I’m certain I heard you say last year that you were moving back to Idaho. Is that a thing. Or did I dream that lol?
I don't have a way to tell for sure what kind of steel, but that's partly why I put it in the body of the blade and not the edge, so it's not as important. I expect it's some kind of medium carbon steel. We did have plans to move, but those plans changed for the time being.
My dad made trowels. He worked in poll finishing doing marcite work. He needed sharp, thin, flexible high quality trowels so he made his own forge and made his own trowels. These were the rounded top and bottom model. All different lengths. He pounded them out, then ground them down, used an apparatus to get the right edge profile. They were wicked sharp too. One of his trowels was used in a self defense case when some crazy neighbor attacked guy that worked for another pool finishing company and all he has to defend himself against this guy weilding a machete and a hatchet was a trowel and a hawk as a shield. So he did and sliced the guy up and then slit his jugular. He lived. Needed 3 surgeries and 123 stitches and the pool finishing guy got cut once
I see this, and i admit its well made, but hierloom? Isnt that just marketing? I own different versions of tiny kitchenknives. One of them belonged to my gramps, he knew how to use it, and it shows. Thats how it became an hierloom. I hope someone buys your knive and uses it till it falls apart. Untill then its a good looking knife. ( i hope i didnt offend too much, somehow i feel overwhelmed by all those added words:) )
As noted in the video description, the hammer and trowel used to make this knife are tools used by the clients father, hence the intentional heirloom nature of the build.
You can use a impact driver to twist your Damascus, heaps easier and faster, but you need a little water spray bottle to slow down the hot spot so it twists evenly ✌️🫡
Wow!!! Beautiful!!!!
By far one of the best paterns I've seen you come up with to date, Awesome job!!!
Cool build. Another nice, silent video. I am a big fan of you making silent videos as well as ones with talking and ones with hardcore metallurgy. That mix is very pleasant to watch.

Beautiful pattern and blade. Almost like a fire and water pattern.
That's a gorgeous big camp knife.
Beautiful.
That Blade sir is Fire !!!
Beautiful knife, I love the use of reclaimed steel and a raw chunk of wood! Greatness isn’t always expensive 👍
Thanks man

It's definitely one of your best. I'd be proud if that was my work.
Thanks a bunch
Incredibly gorgeous! Chopping manzanita is no joke…that wood is HARD! Happy Independence Day, sir!
She's a beauty! Love the craftsmanship. Saying hello from icy cold Melbourne, Australia. Keep producing this great content!
Thank you!
Very nice .
I've seen you struggle with forge welding in the past but this sir, is a win. Blade looks amazing.
You have some serious skills. Great looking pattern
Awesome build!
Thank you!
Loving it
Gorgeous knife! Nicely done!
Clearly, twisting the billet added serious differentiation between the steels. Beautiful.
This turned is beautiful 👏👏
Elijah, that pattern and blade turned out great! Thanks for sharing!
SPLENDID
Looks great!
Gotta say you do Make some beautiful knives
That knife is absolutely stunning
😮 this is similar to what my face looked liked at the end of the video
When it comes to knife and blade content on TH-cam you are legend! Great work Elijah ! 👊
That's one of the best pattern steel blades I have seen you make great work
Cool pattern
Glad to see it's cooler down there than here in southern Oklahoma. Impressive build.
excellent
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing...👏
Wow that came out nice. Love that almost pistol,grip design
I love that bold pattern! The more bold random patterns are so much more eye catching for me.
I need to get back in my shop/barn and forge something. It's just been too hot in TN.
Gran trabajo 10/10.

Сделано очень хорошо! Прекрасная работа!
Very nice.. ❤

always so cool
Oh man well done what a masterpiece…Tony uk
Might want to mention that both the Rose trowel and Estwing hammer are made in America.
very cool oceanic pattern and very choppy, Awesome piece ...I was surprised at how floppy the trowel went, wasn't expecting that lol
Extra points for handle removal.
Beautiful blade.. missed an opportunity though, should've made the scales out of the wood you was whittling on
Thought about it, but I don't know how seasoned it is yet, can't risk shrinkage on the handle scales.
You just gotta flex that you have a press….using it for stuff is regular joes have to do by hand like breaking old handles. KIDDING. Great work per usual
Always cut towards your chum, never towards your thumb.
😊
I would rather see reclaimed materials in handmade knives
That hammer took a lot of punishment before being willing to be reshaped
Странная концепция "Наследования" конечно в плане сохранения памяти. Режик получился норм. Материала бы хватило еще на два.
Incredible blade my friend. Also I really dig your bracelet. How can I get my hands on one? 🙏🏻🤙🏻
@@Brighter0129 thank you! I purchased the copper bracelet, but don't remember the brand

Hey what are u dipping the billet into before forging?
Oh and thanks for your content. This channel is one of my favs :)
Thanks I appreciate it! That is diesel that I put the bullets in before forge welding
Thank you :)
😳
what knife did you use to take the handle off the hammer. looks like a nice little edc fixie?
@@joshuatempleton9556 yep my EDC knife
@@FireCreekForge could you show it off in a future video or tell me which vid it has been featured in. i really like that.
Does twisting the billet do anything other than alter the design? Like does it make the blade stronger or is it just for cosmetic purposes?

Where can I buy your knives
Check out my web site, firecreekforge dot com
Is that Manzanita?
Yes
I didn't see where the cylindrical piece of metal was used.
It appears you have a new forge. Stay safe.
I see this, and i admit its well made, but hierloom? Isnt that just marketing? I own different versions of tiny kitchenknives. One of them belonged to my gramps, he knew how to use it, and it shows. Thats how it became an hierloom. I hope someone buys your knive and uses it till it falls apart. Untill then its a good looking knife.

@@FireCreekForge sometimes the algorithm just presents stuff and we blindly consume. Thank you for the clarification :)
Ehhhh
Why ruin a great hammer?
Waste of a good estwing hammer 🔨
You can use a impact driver to twist your Damascus, heaps easier and faster, but you need a little water spray bottle to slow down the hot spot so it twists evenly ✌️🫡
Would probably make it easier!
