the tools he uses are so nice, it really helps automate the process when its in bulk etc bc it really decreases the strain on the arms the more repetitive the task is compared to other blacksmithing ive seen
@@bot-just-bot I was certain he was gonna make a small pocket-knife sized blade, but I imagine there would've been a much greater risk of breaking without the reinforcement steel around it. At least you can see it in the end product, though
I wish he'd have made a katana(or a wakazashi) with that instead of a Damascus. The Japanese made very good blades, they had to be masters at bladesmithing, especially when the quality of their resources, food, water, wood, and metal, were all so shit-ty they almost COULDN'T survive.
That’s not Damascus, that’s just metal shavings fused tempered and placed inside a rod of steel to make a knife with an interesting pattern. Damascus is a crucible metal that can have a very beautiful water like pattern to it, but Damascus is the name of a specific type of metal, not a pattern within the metal.
I was completely lost when you encased the stalagmite in a metal box and started pressing it. Kept asking myself how the heck you were gonna get the original piece back out. Then I saw the final product, and wow, that turned out amazing, good job, and thanks for showing me something I haven't seen before!

I'm constantly impressed with your ingenuity and creativity in the shop, in addition to your knack for making excellent blade shapes. You're an artist and a wizard
Always wondered what would be found under the grinder. Between the wood, brass, carbon fiber, and multitude of steels...I always thought it would make an interesting ingot to forge from. Great looking blade
I thought about doing this before. Wasn't sure how well it would work though. I've knocked some good sized pieces off these things trying to clean up a little, but just wanted it thrown away. I knew it could be used for something

I’m willing to say that you’ve made the world’s first ‘wood ring’ Damascus Steel. Haven’t seen a pattern like that before. Edit: I forgot I made this comment and I agree with a few under me in the replies. Wood Grain Damascus sounds a lot better than Wood Ring Damascus. P.S. Only problem is it looks like it takes forever to get the billet of metal big enough and it seems delicate to the touch (as evident of the first grinding wheel visit)
Wootz steel from swarf from the grinder, that’s absolutely ingenious and I love the fact that you preserved the wootz steel in mono steel. You never cease to amaze me.
@@firstnamelastname180 look at his process the canister basically was a crucible by surrounding the swarf with I’m assuming graphite he kept the shape while removing the impurities from it, also note he didn’t press or hammer the canister before removing the billet. So the middle core of that knife definitely isn’t Damascus.
@@D-Vinko the vessel isn’t as important as the process to have canister Damascus you have to have heat pressure, meaning you have to forge the canister to get solid steel. to prepare the swarf for the forge weld to his mono steel he heated it in a canister filled with an insulating material, making a crucible of sorts, note when it came out the oven he didn’t hammer or press it but rather cut it out the canister, the process is more similar to wootz steel, than Damascus.
Thank you, for finally getting good auto-shade visors for welding and camera... Your welds were better, the video was better, and the knife turned out MUCH BETTER than usual. Some people discredit the damages of welder's flash as "no big deal," but I assure you: it is a BIG DEAL.
Yea, its crazy how many people just disregard safety. I know a guy who wont use his fume extractor while soldering because "its too loud"... 1st of all its not even very loud, quieter than a hair dryer, the noise come from under the table, and without it you will be living in a cloud of metal fumes. I will not turn on my extracfo if im doing 1 quick connection, but anygbing more than 1 it goes on.

I just found the channel as well. Stay safe there. It’s unfortunate that the core doesn’t look as strong as it can be. Once you put the acid on, you saw what’s what. Fascinating you can still see the piles from different blades within the core. Awesome vid!

@@chavorucosnkombies in Russian language we use the same word for 'spicy' and 'sharp' (острое), so it's kinda witty wordplay:) He adds pepper and spices to make the blade sharper
I've always wondered what is with the pepper added, is it just for comical value? Is it to add an extra sting when piercing the flesh your enemies? Or is it because the blades look so fire that you want them to hold the heat when they're finished?
That is so awesome I’m sorry that I knocked my “Slag deposit” in to pieces now and dumped it in with my other metal shavings from my milling machine and Lathe. I’ve always thought about using that stuff to do something like another blade. Great Work !!! And hey I’m hoping Vladimir stays in his own Sandbox and leaves you happy and without the yoke on your own neck !

This gives me a great idea. I've always thought about a matching short sword and dagger set with feather damask in the center of the blades. This looks like a great way to do something like that.
It turned out 100% better than I thought it would given the randomness of the contents of the stalagmite. Looks kinda like wood grain. Fantastic work sir!

What your doing is fine it's just not as effective also I'm guessing this is a bot and not a real person which is terrible because if someone does respond and wants to know more then their abandoned and feel as if you don't actually care.

That was really cool. I have always wanted to make a little kiln to try and make a knife. Your set up is way more awesome than I will ever have. Thanks for the video!
Работал бы ты в кузнеце,и ты бы это сделал с лёгкостью, обычный нож 🔪.да красиво,да молодец,но не более того,.вот человеку сердце от свиньи пересадили и он жив,вот это действительно чудо это просто нечто.
Это обыкновенный мусор, таких сталагмитов выкинул не один десяток, кто реально с этим сталкивался знает, из чего он состоит, металлическая стружка и образив от диска.
Ну бес его знает, материал для ножа не подходит, никакой точности при ручной обработке, на последних кадрах особенно заметно, насколько кривая кромка. Красиво, да, на полку повесить, но пользоваться этим нельзя
I pray that you and your loved ones are OK and come through the current conflagration consuming your country. I am sorry that it is happening. You are a real craftsman and create amazing blades. I hope that you are able to resume your work soon.
А, кстати, вполне реально. Пройтись в цеху пылесосом, из мусорного мешка магнитом отделить стальную пыль, смешать с нормальной порошковой сталью и сварить. А потом наварить лезвие из нормальной стали, чтоб прилично резало. Вопрос, будет ли это так же красиво, как из цельного сталагмита. У сталагмита есть структура, а пыль безлика и аморфна.
I would love to see you make a dagger with that type of pattern. I think the double edge would bring out an amazing contrast from the center to the edge.
The only reason I know what a stalagmite and a stalactite is, is because I was in natural bridge caverns. And the your guide said “it’s called a stalagmite because it might touch the roof and it’s called a stalactite because it has to hold on tight so it doesn’t fall”
Recyles the dust by spending money on propane or whatever the forge runs off of, and using up perfectly good sq tubing for it 😂 your losing more than your gaining. Interesting prodgect none of the less
Reminds me of my collection of those from when I used to work the cutoff-saw at a screw/bolt/fastener manufacturer. I would wait until they were about 6-7 inches long and curved like a claw, then hang them on the back-plate of my bench, looked like a monster was hanging by its claws on the other side! 👹😂🤣 Great use of the scrap material! Awesome video work as well! 😎
@@wariogiovanna2883 one of my grandmothers is pure russian and she says chilli and sharp are the same word in Russian or smth like that, so basically to make his metal sharp he puts “sharp” (chilli) in it
Seriously impressive work brother!! Can you Imagine back when they didn't have the presses and hydrolic hammers and all that good stuff?!!? Holy smokes
There's a documentary with Japanese blacksmiths forging a katana by hand tools only and the guy sells them for $50k but he will only sell to the ones he likes
That metal surface bonds with oxygen and becomes brittle, pretty much the same as rust. Oxygen bonds with metals easily, and even faster when that steel is heated. The resulting material is brittle and has a lower melting point, so it separates and flakes off. This is why forge welding or other forms of welding require a flux: the flux keeps the oxygen away from the hot metal so none of the corrosion mixes into the weld when it’s molten.
I find it really cool how flakes of the cooled metal peel off when you're hammering it even though it's extremely hot It goes to show how fast things start to cool off after being removed from heat
It's because the flakes experience a sudden increase in surface area, and the ratio of surface area to volume is higher in small, thin pieces of metal. These rapidly lose heat to the air around them.
@@petergray7576 yeah surface area that's the word I was looking for I couldn't think of it when I was typing lol But yeah I find it interesting that the outside of it flakes off due to the temperature change on the outside of the material and how the core of it is still extremely hot Also it's amazing how fast the thin flakes cool off but I'm pretty sure it's because the amount of material that flakes off is so small that it cools off faster than it would if the flakes were thicker It's cool seeing how fast something thin can cool off compared to something thicker of the same material cools off
I'm curious as to its strength and if it can hold up to regular use. Given the pile, a part of me thought it was a mix of all sorts of metals but the final color suggests it was all the same metal, removing the risk of fracture from different stress limits
That is a truly amazing looking blade!!!! Forget "normal" Damascus blades, that's what I want to make...... this could take a long time just to make the stalagmite 🤔😄 I'll be praying that you and your family can stay safe 👍👍👍👍👍
With everything happening in your country with russia on your countries border you still make time to make videos for us. That takes guts man, god bless and I hope that everything goes well for you and your family in the near future.
Buenas tardes señor, excelente trabajo, es increíble las cosas que hacen los artesanos ucranianos, en todas las actividades (simples o complejas) muestran un gran desempeño y talento. Quiero preguntarle Una serie de cosas: 1) Qué tan buena es esta hoja para el corte? 2) Mantiene su filo por largo tiempo? y, 3) Posee flexibilidad la hoja o es propensa a quebrarse? Le mando un saludo desde Argentina.
Aquí un aficionado a la forja, normalmente el que tan buena es una hoja, su resistencia y flexibilidad y qué tanto mantiene el filo se da por el tipo de metal (o más correctamente que tanto porcentaje de carbono posea el metal, al menos en el caso del acero) el acero con más carbono es más resistente y tiende menos a romperse ya que es algo flexible, mientras que el que tiene menor porcentaje de carbono es más duro, pero tiende a romperse más debido a la dureza, cuándo no se tiene mucho acero con alto porcentaje de carbono lo ideal es usar la parte con más carbono (la más resistente) para el filo y el acero de menor porcentaje (el más duro) para el cuerpo y el mango del cuchillo ya que no tendrá tantos golpes o en general debe soportar menos estrés, ya que el acero de alto porcentaje de carbono es más care, otra cosa que afecta la durabilidad de una hoja, su filo y demás, es el proceso de normalizado que lleva la hoja, cuándo uno le da la forma debe someterlo a altas temperaturas para que tome un color uniforme (nunca por encima de la temperatura crítica del acero) esto con el fin de hacer que toda la hoja tenga la misma temperatura, se saca de la fragua y se deja calentar poco a poco para que se endurezca de la misma manera todo el metal y obtenga el mismo temple en todos lados, eso hace que sea menos propenso a romperse con los golpes o que el filo se dañe al golpear, también hay quiénes bajan la temperatura de la hoja luego de hacer el normalizado con arena, aceite o agua para templarlo, si hace bien el normalizado antes de templar la hoja, la hoja mantiene su forma, no se dobla y se vuelve más resistente, si no puede doblarse y hasta romper
Tengo una duda que siempre me surge cuando veo videos donde hacen hojas con acero de damasco, porque le echan un chile/picante seco? Cuál es su función?
I was gonna say “i like the part where he warns us not to do this at home” and then I realized uh, no, he didn’t say that, its 4 am and I’m so tired that I’m experiencing auditory hallucinations

I wish he'd have made a katana(or a wakazashi) with that instead of a Damascus. The Japanese made very good blades, they had to be masters at bladesmithing, especially when the quality of their resources, food, water, wood, and metal, were all so shit-ty they almost COULDN'T survive.
That’s not Damascus, that’s just metal shavings fused tempered and placed inside a rod of steel to make a knife with an interesting pattern. Damascus is a crucible metal that can have a very beautiful water like pattern to it, but Damascus is the name of a specific type of metal, not a pattern within the metal.
I was completely lost when you encased the stalagmite in a metal box and started pressing it. Kept asking myself how the heck you were gonna get the original piece back out. Then I saw the final product, and wow, that turned out amazing, good job, and thanks for showing me something I haven't seen before!
The method is called "Canister" if you'd like to find more videos on it. Very tricky process to get correct
@@AchievementDenied specifically canister damascus right?
AchievementDenied is correct though it isn't specific to damascus, which is an additional process. Canister is a method of making ingots.

@@mysliceoflife5420 Don’t forget the chilli, might be some passed down technique that some say makes the steel better
Also is that rough part in the middle of the blade the stalagmite or is that because of something else

Not wootz, wootz is a crucible steel
@@firstnamelastname180 look at his process the canister basically was a crucible by surrounding the swarf with I’m assuming graphite he kept the shape while removing the impurities from it, also note he didn’t press or hammer the canister before removing the billet. So the middle core of that knife definitely isn’t Damascus.
@@kevinhinson994 by definition canister isn't crucible
@@D-Vinko the vessel isn’t as important as the process to have canister Damascus you have to have heat pressure, meaning you have to forge the canister to get solid steel. to prepare the swarf for the forge weld to his mono steel he heated it in a canister filled with an insulating material, making a crucible of sorts, note when it came out the oven he didn’t hammer or press it but rather cut it out the canister, the process is more similar to wootz steel, than Damascus.

The stalagmite in the blade when it goes back to the grinder: *ah shit, here we go again*
Hey question! Why does the hot metal flake up when it’s pounded?
That metal surface bonds with oxygen and becomes brittle, pretty much the same as rust.
Oxygen bonds with metals easily, and even faster when that steel is heated. The resulting material is brittle and has a lower melting point, so it separates and flakes off. This is why forge welding or other forms of welding require a flux: the flux keeps the oxygen away from the hot metal so none of the corrosion mixes into the weld when it’s molten.
Its called scale other commenter has the rest of the details lol
Personally I think the scale from twist Damascus is beautiful. This may just be me, but that's my opinion. All above details are correct.
Oxidizes super fast. Sometimes, I question why humans chose iron/iron alloys, out of all things, to make tools from. But they're strong, I guess.
@@Human-san cost to strength ratio is crazy good with iron/steels.
I find it really cool how flakes of the cooled metal peel off when you're hammering it even though it's extremely hot
It goes to show how fast things start to cool off after being removed from heat
It's because the flakes experience a sudden increase in surface area, and the ratio of surface area to volume is higher in small, thin pieces of metal. These rapidly lose heat to the air around them.
I was always wondering, what's whit those flakes. Why does hot metal shed its skin when being forged
@@petergray7576 yeah surface area that's the word I was looking for
I couldn't think of it when I was typing lol
But yeah I find it interesting that the outside of it flakes off due to the temperature change on the outside of the material and how the core of it is still extremely hot
Also it's amazing how fast the thin flakes cool off but I'm pretty sure it's because the amount of material that flakes off is so small that it cools off faster than it would if the flakes were thicker
It's cool seeing how fast something thin can cool off compared to something thicker of the same material cools off

I'm curious as to its strength and if it can hold up to regular use. Given the pile, a part of me thought it was a mix of all sorts of metals but the final color suggests it was all the same metal, removing the risk of fracture from different stress limits
I suspect that he made the blade spine and edge out of a solid piece of known steel quality for that exact reason.

Buenas tardes señor, excelente trabajo, es increíble las cosas que hacen los artesanos ucranianos, en todas las actividades (simples o complejas) muestran un gran desempeño y talento.
Quiero preguntarle Una serie de cosas:
1) Qué tan buena es esta hoja para el corte?
2) Mantiene su filo por largo tiempo? y,
3) Posee flexibilidad la hoja o es propensa a quebrarse?
Le mando un saludo desde Argentina.
F por no recibir una respuesta
Aquí un aficionado a la forja, normalmente el que tan buena es una hoja, su resistencia y flexibilidad y qué tanto mantiene el filo se da por el tipo de metal (o más correctamente que tanto porcentaje de carbono posea el metal, al menos en el caso del acero) el acero con más carbono es más resistente y tiende menos a romperse ya que es algo flexible, mientras que el que tiene menor porcentaje de carbono es más duro, pero tiende a romperse más debido a la dureza, cuándo no se tiene mucho acero con alto porcentaje de carbono lo ideal es usar la parte con más carbono (la más resistente) para el filo y el acero de menor porcentaje (el más duro) para el cuerpo y el mango del cuchillo ya que no tendrá tantos golpes o en general debe soportar menos estrés, ya que el acero de alto porcentaje de carbono es más care, otra cosa que afecta la durabilidad de una hoja, su filo y demás, es el proceso de normalizado que lleva la hoja, cuándo uno le da la forma debe someterlo a altas temperaturas para que tome un color uniforme (nunca por encima de la temperatura crítica del acero) esto con el fin de hacer que toda la hoja tenga la misma temperatura, se saca de la fragua y se deja calentar poco a poco para que se endurezca de la misma manera todo el metal y obtenga el mismo temple en todos lados, eso hace que sea menos propenso a romperse con los golpes o que el filo se dañe al golpear, también hay quiénes bajan la temperatura de la hoja luego de hacer el normalizado con arena, aceite o agua para templarlo, si hace bien el normalizado antes de templar la hoja, la hoja mantiene su forma, no se dobla y se vuelve más resistente, si no puede doblarse y hasta romper
