Doing this without adding powdered steel to the canister must have been a heck of a challenge! I didn't expect it would work as well as it obviously did, congratulations in a super build!
It seems to me the key to getting it to work as well as it did was to allow the canister to forge weld to the exteriors of the ball bearing billet. Putting Ti02 inside the can would have prevented it from adhering to the canister and made the task of welding the balls together without filler material a wonky mess.
I’m gonna try this. I wanna resaw the billet into thirds, then twist & book match the middle section, and restack them. I think it’d be cool to have a variation between the pattern of the blade and the tang. This video got my creative juices flowing, thanks!
I'm Syrian and one of the things Damascus used to be famous for is it's very unique knives So honor to me to see someone abroad making such knives ❤ Damascus is the capital of Syria BTW
@ichbinmartin HaHaHa so funny, I didn't know my city is so famous ,so It's unnecessary piece of information. if you are so upset I can delete it for you honey 😆
@@aboudkalish It was joke and I am happy that you are typican syrian man with sense for jokes. I was in Syria in 2010, of course also in Damascus (and other cities). Beautiful city!
The arra around Syria was famous for its wootz damascus. It's a far more impressive process than what you see here, it was a far better metal than anything else of its time. It's an entirely different process, look it up. Attempts to recreate the original process is getting a bigger following every year. The original method is lost to time. This is just pattern welded steel using plated high carbon steel bearings....
A beautiful blade! The final coffee etch truly sets off the Damascus pattern. (Bonus points for rocking the Toy Machine sticker on the bandsaw!) Keep doing what you do 👍‼️
Shurap has done this. This is my favorite pattern on knives. Genius that you used the mill to remove the canister. I wish I owned a press I would make my own. Excellent work!
@@HansKnives Would you consider making a video showing the press and what you learned from doing it? Or if you followed a guide or schematic, could you point us to the right direction? I've been collecting a bunch of blueprints for it and weighing pros and cons of different designs - yours looks very well thought out!
This is the first time I have seen a blacksmith cut the canister off. Usually I see people paint the can inside white or use another sacrificial material that will not weld. I now wonder about the pros and cons to each approch.
Because the container is too long and is directly detached from the container, poor welding will occur because there are only steel balls in the container. My approach was more cumbersome. Each has its pros and cons, and there are different choices available in different situations.
@@HansKnives If you have access to a mill, this is the only way to do it! Grinding and/or cutting the can off is always a pain. @danielstellmon5330 Since there’s no powdered steel filling in the gaps, you’ve really gotta compress this all the way through or you’ll have nasty inclusions through the middle of the billet. Forge welding the can to the BBs is the only way I can see this working without powdered steel, so a sacrificial layer in between would be counterproductive.
Great video. I would love a little more information within each step in regards to the equipment and material you use to help create this beauty. Thanks for sharing
7 previous attempts, finally a win I'm guessing it was worth all the f ups before, to get this extremely good looking blade , much respect, is it for sale,
When I saw you start without adding powder to the cannister, I feared the worst! But you got that thing really hot and properly crushed it! Great great work! Sorry for doubting you! Lol
Now I’m curious if you added some larger steel balls and filled the areas in between them with smaller different steal and then poured a third powdered steal into the cracks? Damascus makes me just want to try random combinations and see if it comes out pretty.
great canister Damascus steel...I would make something less lethal and ninja like because the metal came out so well. No powdered iron or steel and outstanding patterns.

My thoughts exactly.... In the first 10second of the video i was shock
The guys got a mill, no challenge at all
Given the size of the interior of the can plus the empty space between the bearings, I would have expected the billet to be smaller 🤷
Seems you are so expert. And know what talk about. Very nice.
Wow the patternation on this was amazing, simply stunning work.
One of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen for sure.
Thank you very much. ♥️

Did it work ?
Hands down one of THE MOST beautiful knifes I've seen on youtube so far, ngl. AMAZING job! Congrats man, keep it up!
That's a Lady.

The hydraulic press was made by me. Thank you for your support.

The cute kitty saying "hii" to us is so pretty 😍😍
My new favorite pattern I didn't know about!! I would love a wood axe and maul with this pattern 😍

That is a BEAUTIFUL blade. The pattern is almost mesmerizing
This guy has the most expensive “blacksmith” shop I’ve ever seen. Even more equipped than some pro machine shops I’ve been in.
I have nothing to add except this is one of the most stunning knives I’ve ever seen. It is profoundly beautiful. You did an amazing job on it.
Beautiful job! Masterclass handcrafting!
That was probably the best steel pattern I've ever seen. Outstanding work, mate :)
It's such a genius idea to bump it up on the ends to keep the length compressed! Beautiful work!
The final product is just perfect!
Love the cat in the background 😭 13:57
😯
I know nothing about making knives other than forged in fire but this is very cool
Great video. I would love a little more information within each step in regards to the equipment and material you use to help create this beauty. Thanks for sharing
Dope AF results, @HansKnives! This would make an ideal boot knife with an equally dope sheath to complete the package!
7 previous attempts, finally a win I'm guessing it was worth all the f ups before, to get this extremely good looking blade , much respect, is it for sale,
Wow. That’s a beautiful knife! Fantastic work. The pattern is unreal. Subscribed
I loved how it turned out in the end but idk if someone saw the amount of power to made this single knife it’s just A LOT
i dont even have a pocket knife or any knives besides the kitchen but I found this so satisfying and cool to watch.
1:25 the shape press presses the shape into a pressed shape
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! 😍⭐️💫👌🏻
What an absolutely stunning weapon
Capo!!!..Maestro!!..EXCELENTE tu trabajo y dedicación sigue así saludos desde Argentina Corrientes 👍🏻👏👏👏💪🇦🇷
Perfection...So absolutely beautiful...Just a dream!)
Thanks!🍻
Also the silent press is much more civilized that a pounding hammer. Love it
Tireless craftmanship, thanks for sharing.
I like to make Damascus steel. But it's a really good one. I watched it up to the end.
it is very pretty, but not damascus. it's pattern welded.
Thanks for explaining @@louiscyfer6944
When I saw you start without adding powder to the cannister, I feared the worst! But you got that thing really hot and properly crushed it! Great great work! Sorry for doubting you! Lol
Well done crafting that knife!
Beautiful. I love the pattern
So many tools and machines... Really professional
Nice welding skills. The MIG weld isn’t perfect but too many times knife forgers have ugly welds that don’t hold and this creates problems later.
I know it's probably not its purpose but it looks like a beautiful thrower with ring for spinning on your finger. great knife
Absolutely beautiful result
🔥😎🤘🏼
Amazing. I love it. It's a very beautiful knife. ~Kevin
Cool blade.
Why didn't you use powdered steel, or weld a handle onto the canister before forging?
Now I’m curious if you added some larger steel balls and filled the areas in between them with smaller different steal and then poured a third powdered steal into the cracks?
Damascus makes me just want to try random combinations and see if it comes out pretty.
Awesome! Wonder how the pattern would have turned out if you'd have shaken the balls in graphite powder beforehand.
Beautiful knife mister beautifully made good job
It's a really cool effect and an amazing knife!
😯
That’s the coolest knife I’ve ever seen
I'm a newbee in this, but very nice result. I'm curious to know how many hours it takes to reach this final result?
Uma excelente tarefa, um excelente profissional.
WoW Amazing work, can't believe that nice work !!
And this is why good knives are expensive
@@sebarozt 🈹㊙️🉐🈵㊗️🈯
@@sebarozt beautiful steel after you are done! Thank you for sharing your art! Amazing!! I want one but I don't know if I could afford it.
Craftsman at work! Awesomeness!
Taking a lot of work, but produces an impressive quality knife.
Whats a beautiful Damascus. Realy nice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing bro amazing 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wow. What an ending. Beautiful.
Omg this knife is a real beauty
Beautiful knife,amazing pattern
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! ️
Oddly satisfying watching metal work
dam that turned out really cool
Cool knife
Why did you weld like that tho,
Love this voronoi pattern ❤
How to get such a beautiful knife
Beautiful blade
Just need a pt2 for a handle
I LOVE that OG Toy Machine sticker on your band saw!
😯
Were those flakes also metal which were coming out of the sides of that hot metal block when pressed?
excellent work 👌
I was glad to see that you chamfered the end cap. 👍🏼
Also, milling the billet is so much easier than grinding it off like so many do!
Wow! The knife has a longer name than I do!

Tão lindo
Da uma vontade de passar a fazer também 😮
Tem parece que o processo é demorado
one of thee best counter strike knifes
Hello friend! nice job! can you say how type of sheet you put inside the canister? and the ball bearings it's made from 52100 steel ?
What was the yellow brown liquid at thr end? Please ad comments during the process. You got me at those fine welding and subscribed.
¡excelente patrón! extremadamente prolijo, rectificado, perfecto... 😉👍
You are doing a GREAT JOB man. AWESOME !!!
A very well crafted knife ….i like it very much …..Alex🇬🇷
Menakjubkan.
Sungguh luar biasa 👍.
I saw you use a microwave to heat the knife. is it a special type of microwave?
Hey 👋 man? How you doing bro it's been a while but you never disappoint me
Bro? That's insane nice work 👏
Do you sell these knives? They are truly amazing, very beautiful
Muito bom video sempre tive curiosidade de saber como é fazer uma espada ou adaga, gostei muito, obrigado.❤
Question: at around the 12:20 mark, you’ve got the blade somehow secured flat as the grinding wheel goes over it. What IS that?
Gorgeous knife
those metal inserts you use on the forge hammer to hammer squares, are they loose or is this so that they wont get stuck when they expand due to heat?
Superbe effet beau travail
Gorgeous finish!
A thing of beauty.
Beautiful knife!! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
cool looking knife, but why did you make it more dull than the backside of a hatchet
That's a nice way to get rid of the can
You sir are a true artist.
What a stunning blade!
what steel ball bearings did you use?
Real life Kunai! Amazing skill!
Thats a clever way to remove the casing
