Thank you Denis! It was my first Damascus ever :). No I know how hard it is and I'll definitely get back to your old videos! I have so much to learn from you :)!
@First Knight, @tyrell knifeworks I'm not gonna lie- I took a lot of knowledge about Damascus and Cu Mai knife thanks to Denis video- I would never make it at the first attempt without knowledge he share! The cool (and also the most amazing thing) is that we can actually learn from each other and there is no competition between us. We all (every knife maker/bladesmith in the world) have totally different styles- this make our blade always unique!
Thanks a lot Keaton! I couldn't find time to watch your build (currently I'm on Knives Exhibition :P) but I must see it! You've made insanely cool sword!
Thank you very much Ernest! I'm very happy you like this knife! If you like this design, You can also check my other projects- I think you will like them as well:)... And thanks a lot for watching and support Man! Regards, David
Thanks Ben! I'm trying to put a little different content for each build so the audience don't get bored :)! And also for me, to be stress that I'll f-something up (just to make the knife making little less easy for me lol).
I've been watching TH-cam videos about making knives and swords since the beginning of TH-cam.. 1000s upon 1000s of knives... this one is my absolute fucking favorite!!!! Omg dude it's like my dream knife was just made in front of me!!!! Beautiful, gorgeous.. wow!!!
Hey!! Thank you, thank you thank you!!! My goal was to make Dark Elven style knife- something unique, unusual. I'm very happy you like it:). I think you will like black bowie knife I've made long long time ago. On the end screen you will find the video with a shortcut process. Check it and let me know which one you like more ;). I'm very curious :)... Btw: What's your name?
@@DBCraftWorld my name is Michael but you can call me Mike. And I plan on watching all your videos. Everything I've seen so far is just absolutely amazing!!! I'm so glad I found this channel because you make exactly the type of swords and knives I love the most! Please please keep up the amazing work!!!
@@KrispyBizcut It's a pleasure to meet you Mike! I'm David. I'm trying to fill the gap in the knife making industry. There is not so many makers who makes Game and Fantasy world inspired blades. I'm trying to combine crazy (unreal) design with functionality. I'm glad you like my works. Thanks a lot for kind words Mate:)!
Great looking fantasy knife and a wonderful job making it as well!!! If it is for the fantasy challenge knife Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you so much! I'm very happy you like the design and the build:). I was trying to make something original and I hope I success. Yes, this is for the fantasy challenge:)! Most of people get into this video by clicking link on a voting survey- this is why I didn't put any "fantasy challenge" description. Also IA cut ranges after the challenge is done if you name the video that way. If you get confused I deeply apologize🙏! David
Those are some wild colors! Very pretty handle too. Wow! Good that the copper did not delaminate and was well fused together with the steel. Yes i like this one very much. Greetings, Jeff
Thank you Jeff! Yes, there was no delamination on the blade, no crack or warp so everthing went super well! Phil at PJT forging had much more troubles. At the end both of my first (Yes, this was first damascus and first Cu mai with copper) went surprisingly well, but maybe it's only lucky of the first attempt 😜! I'll verify it on the next project :)! Thanks for the support Jeff!
oh man, how I wish all this materials and machines were more accessible here in Argentina, I wish someday I can have a complete equipment as u guys have. Thank you so much for sharing all the process! You and Denis are beasts!
Hi Guido! I don't know how hard or easy is to find components for the tools like forging press, heat treatment oven or belt grinder, but all of this machine I've made by myself and the building process is on my channel!

@@justincraig398 I think Guidomininno have same problem as me: Second hand Tools are too expensive compared to the shape they are. This is why I still don't have anvil.

Yeap- I admit, Black damascus looks very cool and I'll use it for sure for the next blade! Thanks a lot for watching- now I must see your build (which is also very cool!!)

Dude you are very underrated blade smith one of the most beautiful knives ive ever seen and ive been watching this stuff close to 10 years you should have way more subscribers
Oh Anthony it is so so (so!) nice to hear! Thank you🙏! I'm trying to make cool knives and I spend a lot of time to design it, but unfortunately "jutub" (I can't use a proper name because it's sensitive) makes calculations and decrease visibility of my projects. This is why there is very possible you would never find my channel if not a challenge. So if you truly like my knives, please share some of my previous build (I think you will love some of them) to your friends! This helps me a lot! Have a great day Bud! David
@@DBCraftWorld i definitely will share them man im gonna binge your videos later tonight and will definitely share your awesome Ps do you ever sell anything you make

Thank you! I was trying to make something new: Black damascus and Dark Cu-Mai (I hope) is one of those stuff :). Thanks for kind words and support! David
Thank you for such kind words Kevin! Those comments always motivate me to make more advanced projects. This one was a great challenge. This is the first damascus I've ever made :)

I am still in operation surgery waiting list at the moment and I am waiting for the right time to do surgery and taking out my gallbladder. This knife is beautiful, well done,. You have a new tools congratulations.
My grandma had same issue many years ago. I hope you will have surgery soon. After you get it removed should be much better. Yes, I've spend 2 months to make forging press but it's a huge improvement in my workshop. Now I can make damascus easily :)!
@@DBCraftWorld for the longest time I've wanted a garage/workshop so I can try my hand at this sort of thing. Right now I just need to sit back and watch the TH-cam videos to get inspiration.
Thank you Dougles, appreciate kind words! I was trying to make something new and unusual! I think black damascus is not very common, but I love it and I'll definitely make more of this! Thanks for watching!
Wow!! I watch a lot of knives being forged, but this is one of the best looking ones I’ve seen , that handle is really something. The blade is beautiful too, but I like the handle specifically….
Thanks a lot Mate! Appreciate it! I'm trying to find the balance and consistency between the blade shape and the handle. I believe in case of Art knives, consistency in design is more important than complexity of design. Thanks for the support and for watching :)!
Amazing design, and the damascus makes it pop out even more, once I saw the final result I immediately subscribed, will be waiting for your futur projects man, keep up the good work
Thank you Ahmed! I'm very happy you like it (and thanks a lot for the sub)! I'll definitely make "black damascus" on next project! I think people like it very much!
Thank you Scott! I like to call my knives "a functional art"- 100% functional as a knife but too pretty to use it :P! I'm very happy you like it! Thanks for watching Scott!
Thank you for the kind words! I wanted to create something unusual and combine techniques I've used to my previous knives! Thanks a lot for the support:)!
Thanks Jason! All steel parts are gun blued (aka hot bluing solution). The pattern on the guard and the pommel is just deep etch damascus :). Thanks for watching Buddy!
Thank you very much! I just had Knives Exhibition the day after "Challenge", so (sadly) I had to limit post production to minimum. Usually I do narrative. To answer your question, yes this is hot bluing. I've used it it a few previous projects and I love it. Make the blade so unique.
Hello John! Thank you for kind words- I had to hurry with the post production so I didn't record the narrative. If you have questions about some processes in the video I'll answer gladly. On the next episode I promise to describe each step :). David
There is star pattern on the guard and the pommel- this is why I name it the moonlight, but "Cormorant" is pretty good name (especialy if there is brass instead of copper on the knife! Thank you for the suggestion Mike! Do you have anything in mind if I use this name on the next project?
@@DBCraftWorld Long and sleek. Dark with copper Go Mia. Cormorants have a long sleek body and sharp colorful beak. A Go Mia guard and blade to represent the head. Your handle shape is already perfect for the dark body. The way your knife shape sweeps is magical.
wow beautiful knife's blade indeed i hope it have a scabbard for the knife how sharp is it did you made a sharp test to the paper and i wish you could make damascus sword too great crafting skill on the knifes too
Thanks a lot for kind words! No it doeasn't have a scabbard, but maybe I'll make one. Don't know yet. Soon there will be damascus knife that's for sure! With making a sword I need to wait for more advanced tools:)! Thanks for watching Buddy:)!
@@DBCraftWorld oh ok i see you're welcome i wish someone like you given a moonlight black damascus knife like your making for me anyway keep up your crafting skills until you master it much i like and i love your videos too^^
If you would take your time with filing and drilling and take as much time as necessary for fitment and increase your fit and finish so there are no gaps and holes are straight and inline you could easily add 2 zeros to your sale price
Thank you so much Allan for constructive critique- I appreciate it a lot! Unfortunately there is also famous factor that boost or cut the price of the final product. In fact the fittings are quite good and there is no visible gaps (even when you illuminate them). But There is a few things I could make better- that is for sure! Thanks for watching and for support! David
Incredible work! Is there a description of the materials used and process (like what steel, what copper? brass? etc, handle material (black oak laminated?), etching and staining (coffee?)
Hey Robert! I had "knife expo" day after the challenge and I had to limit post production to minimum- usually I describe what I'm doing. The blade is Go-Mai with pure copper and nc4 steel (bearing steel with 1%carbon). The guard and the pommel is star damascus made at 15n20 and Nc4. On the handle is bug oak (black oak) and copper spacers. Black surface of the steel is the oxide. I didn't use coffee. Feel free to ask about the details :) David
Thank you for the sub and support! Unfortunately my channel is almost invisible . it's too small and algorithms not support me at all :( . . I have a few other cool builds on the channel that might interested you. Check it if you like this design - I'm sure you will like the rest :). David
Yes David I’ve seen them, judging by your workmanship it won’t be long before your up their with the big channels, as a amateur knife maker myself I can see first hand your every bit as good as them, wishing you the luck of the Irish ☘️ in the comp from Ireland 🇮🇪
😂. I'm sorry- I just had not enough time to record the voise. The day after the challenge I had Central Europe Knives Exhibition and I had to short the post production to minimum. This time no voise- but on the next one I promise I'll say at least "Hey Guys, welcome to the channel" 😜. Thanks for support Man! David
@@DBCraftWorld Oh it was no concern at all if there is sound. I just like living vicariously through knifemakers. A path I was going to take in the '80s, but then kids happened, heh.
It's never too late to get back (or start) to old dreams! Denis started about 5-6years ago and now he is ABS Journey man and make amazing blades. I've also made my first knife 5years ago. Before that I would never say I become a knife maker/bladesmith 😅!

beautiful knife and hamon
Thank you Vladimir!
Gorgeous work sir.
Thanks Dale! I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
If you would take your time with filing and drilling and take as much time as necessary for fitment and increase your fit and finish so there are no gaps and holes are straight and inline you could easily add 2 zeros to your sale price
Thank you so much Allan for constructive critique- I appreciate it a lot! Unfortunately there is also famous factor that boost or cut the price of the final product. In fact the fittings are quite good and there is no visible gaps (even when you illuminate them). But There is a few things I could make better- that is for sure! Thanks for watching and for support! David
C'est un résultat magnifique !👍
Thank you Laurent!

Thank you very much for kind words:)!
Excellent! Great work!
thanks a lot Jeff!
Sweet looking blade my friend
Thanks Tony! I must see your build as well- You've made very cool blade too (with amazing damascus!)
A Master in his field.
Thanks Mate:)!
Incredible work! Is there a description of the materials used and process (like what steel, what copper? brass? etc, handle material (black oak laminated?), etching and staining (coffee?)
Hey Robert! I had "knife expo" day after the challenge and I had to limit post production to minimum- usually I describe what I'm doing. The blade is Go-Mai with pure copper and nc4 steel (bearing steel with 1%carbon). The guard and the pommel is star damascus made at 15n20 and Nc4. On the handle is bug oak (black oak) and copper spacers. Black surface of the steel is the oxide. I didn't use coffee. Feel free to ask about the details :) David
Bài hit làm mưa làm gió một thời của chị Bảo Thy. Cám ơn Đức Phúc mang nó trở lại với màu sắc mới ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry Daniel but I don't know what does it mean.
Oh Man That's Beautiful!! I love the copper accents!! :D
Thanks Man! I wanted to make cu mai blade with black handle but it would be too boring- spacers fixed that :)! Thanks a lot for watching! David
that is awesome and beautiful! I wish I could afford to have you male me one! keep up the good work! and peace!
Thank you Dan! I appreciate your very kind words! Thanks for watching and for your support! Cheers David :)
Extraordinary, lad. Well done…..
Thank you Mike!
A work of art I just came across your channel because of the challenge I just subscribed
Thank you for the sub and support! Unfortunately my channel is almost invisible . it's too small and algorithms not support me at all :( . . I have a few other cool builds on the channel that might interested you. Check it if you like this design - I'm sure you will like the rest :). David
Yes David I’ve seen them, judging by your workmanship it won’t be long before your up their with the big channels, as a amateur knife maker myself I can see first hand your every bit as good as them, wishing you the luck of the Irish ☘️ in the comp from Ireland 🇮🇪
I hope so and I'm deeply thankful for such positive vibes you share! Those words are the best I can get as a prize!
Outstanding sur! Why I just found you, I dont know, you surely have a new sub though with a spectacular piece like that beauty. 🙌🤝
Thank you Mel for kind words and sub:)! And for watching too! I hope you will love the blade I'm working on now! David
This looks very nice.
Thank you!
I thought my speakers weren't working until there was some machine noise, lol. Awesome work!!!
😂. I'm sorry- I just had not enough time to record the voise. The day after the challenge I had Central Europe Knives Exhibition and I had to short the post production to minimum. This time no voise- but on the next one I promise I'll say at least "Hey Guys, welcome to the channel" 😜. Thanks for support Man! David
@@DBCraftWorld Oh it was no concern at all if there is sound. I just like living vicariously through knifemakers. A path I was going to take in the '80s, but then kids happened, heh.
It's never too late to get back (or start) to old dreams! Denis started about 5-6years ago and now he is ABS Journey man and make amazing blades. I've also made my first knife 5years ago. Before that I would never say I become a knife maker/bladesmith 😅!
Nice work, NOOB !!!!!
Hahahaha,just kiddi brother, this is absolutely stunning, your craftsmanship is on a whole nother level. Fantastic job dude 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot for a kind words John! Appreciate it a lot! I still looking new ideas for making my blades more unique- black Damascus is one if it:)! Thanks for the support and watching Brother!
when i saw those big chunks of mhandle material i thought - what is he doing. then i saw the finished result. WOW, Amazing
haha, Big surprise right :)? I wanted to try this for a very long time. I think "black damascus" looks insanely cool! In real it looks even better! Thanks for the support Lance! Cheers, David
Absolutely gorgeous!!
