Thank you! All credit to Silas and Gabriel for the beautiful pattern and blade design! I seriously love how this one turned out! Thanks for being here 🙂 - Ian
@@NolansKnives Haha thanks man; honestly I’ve been trying to keep them around 15 minutes; The sword build I had mentioned I’m working on will most likely be over 20 minutes though Lord willing. I had about 12 hours total editing time in this one though so longer always makes me nervous unless I just skip through the editing process a bit more 😅. Would it be better to do projects in 10-15 minute long parts/series?
@@IanZ_Forge Well I think you have found a perfect balance! Your videos are short enough to capture attention the whole time, but long enough to fit in a bunch of super helpful information. Great job again I was blow away my this knife, I think that handle was incredible!
Thank you! And honestly if I had a little different shop space I would be able to do that; as it is currently I am using a propane forge for convenience 😞 thank you for the suggestion though and in the future this could be a cool video idea if my space allows it
@@alexcarl9315 Thanks for watching it! And the biggest reason I do the inlay prior is because after the steel is hardened my chisels will not be able to move the metal the way I need it to. Typically I would still do it after heat treat and just differentially harden the piece, leaving the inlay portion soft, but in this case, because it’s Damascus, I want everything to be hardened so that it will etch consistent. (Hard and soft metal etches differently) thanks again!
@@Ccsontos Thank you! And yes they are! 🤠 as far as the foredom, yes I was using an older model! I do bench jewelry work on the side and that’s why I had one originally but they are priceless help for bladesmithing! Definitely get one if you can! Thanks for being here! God bless - Ian
Hey! Thank you first off, thanks for checking out the video as well! To purchase send me an email at ianzforge@gmail.com! I don’t have a website set up but handle all of my sales via email or Facebook/Instagram messaging. God bless - Ian
🤣 Thank you! I thought it resembled storm breaker in a way; that being said it also reminded me of treebeard from Lord of the Rings! Haha thanks for watching! God bless - Ian
I would never be able to afford something like this, but would you ever consider doing something like this for a viewer? I feel like something like this could be something I pass on as a family heirloom. Its beautiful
@ I honestly would be willing to travel and pay for the material if he let me use his equipment and showed me how, there is just no way I would ever be able to afford the stuff to make my own, but making my own would make it that much more special
I feel I must complain just a hair. You tested the edge before finishing the edge….what does it prove other than a good heat treat. To test a knife is to test a 100% finished knife, and if you need to…clean it up after.
@ ……that’s partly what I said, but a finished edge is what’s is used, NOT a blind edge but a SHARP edge. Otherwise, how will anyone know how long the edge will last? Hmm?
Thank you! And I debated this; honestly I’m leaning more towards a stand as it is an art piece. I think the stand would compliment the show aspect of it more 🙂 that being said if the customer wants a sheath I’ll gladly make one as well!

Amazing work. Could you get and test out the simond store coal forge?
Thank you! And honestly if I had a little different shop space I would be able to do that; as it is currently I am using a propane forge for convenience 😞 thank you for the suggestion though and in the future this could be a cool video idea if my space allows it
Thanks for vid. Why do you do the inlay before heat treat, why not just after?

Were you using a foredom for your engraving? I was thinking about getting one. Awesome work on the blade and Silas/Gabe are awesome makers.

Looks like the painting “ the screem “

Why no magnifying glass?

yeah he could do it for you if you pay him
@ I honestly would be willing to travel and pay for the material if he let me use his equipment and showed me how, there is just no way I would ever be able to afford the stuff to make my own, but making my own would make it that much more special
3000$?😂😂😂😂
3000$ nice auto congratulation.
This worth 500$ maybe 700$ nothing more...
Make it and sell it as you wish my friend! God bless and thank you for watching the video! - Ian
@@IanZ_Forge I bought a Damacus knife hand made for 400€...
So you can keep you 3000$ bullshit.
fighting knife? it looks more like kitchen knife xD
I feel I must complain just a hair. You tested the edge before finishing the edge….what does it prove other than a good heat treat. To test a knife is to test a 100% finished knife, and if you need to…clean it up after.
he was testing the heat treat and hardness. it didn't need to be finished to test that
@ ……that’s partly what I said, but a finished edge is what’s is used, NOT a blind edge but a SHARP edge. Otherwise, how will anyone know how long the edge will last? Hmm?
Dope AF results, @IanZ_Forge! Now it needs an equally dope sheath to complete the package!!
Thank you! And I debated this; honestly I’m leaning more towards a stand as it is an art piece. I think the stand would compliment the show aspect of it more 🙂 that being said if the customer wants a sheath I’ll gladly make one as well!
Beautiful knife but hardly a bowie
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! Thanks for checking out the video! God bless - Ian
