- Bit of an experiment. It worked but definitely improvements to be made.
Thanks for watching!

That’s the most badass hammer of any blacksmith video on TH-cam.
I think it’s beautifully imperfect! I would love to have kitchen knives like this one.
Thank you kindly :)
The only thing better than your knife in this video is your humility. It’s a beautiful piece. I enjoyed watching you make it. Thank you
So my 9 year old has told me he wants to be a black smith. I have him binge watching your early stuff. So he understands he doesn’t need all the fancy equipment to get started.
indeed. All one needs is the work ethic, a hammer, an anvil, some form of tongs and a heat source. though safety equipment always helps if used properly.
‘‘Tis true all I have is a hammer anvil charcoal forge tongs a 1x30 and an angle grinder and it works great u just gotta work hard
Better he binge the good stuff then fill his head with dreck. Slap some PPE gear on that kid, toss him some tongs and a hammer, stand him in front of an anvil and let him hammer some metal while being supervised by a bigger kid ( parent).
@@TheBottegaChannel I got an anvil and some tongs, we don’t really have a forge yet, as I don’t want to spend money on a forge until I see this isn’t a phase. But we got an old burn barrel I load up with wood and once it’s nice and hot he goes to town on some old wrenches I have or some rebar. He’s made couple prison shanks 😂 hopefully he loves this and keeps going.
No but still expensive tools
By God that's a gorgeous knife. The blade being diffrenct colors is so dam cool. Especially with mostly common equipment is astonishing. Can't wait to see what you gonna make next
Классный нож !
Ножи сделанные по такой технологии ( по моему санмэй, не помню) , получаются очень прочными .👍
I've never seen this technique done before and I think it looks amazing, even more impressed that this was drawn out by hand and not using a power hammer. Much respect and regards from here in the UK.
Thank you! I used to have access to power hammers. Working on building myself a press to save my shoulders haha.
Power hammers make power mistakes. That power hammer trend will fade away like everything else.
It's no problem to draw out steel, if you know your way around an anvil.
I'd still be incredibly proud to use that knife in my kitchen!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the editing of this video? Like we don't need to see it go in the forge every time, instead it's just red hot again as soon as the hammer lands, without missing a beat?
Omg thank you for noticing!
Замечательная работа 👍
I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CORE BEING ONESIDED,YOU PROBABLY ARE A PERFECTIONIST.THAT CHOPPER IS STILL QUALITY,GOOD JOB.
Excellent work
Great video, I like how you forged the whole thing, no angle grinder action. Turned out so good as well, nice pattern
Thank you very much.
For myself, I like the result. The blade, the handle ...
Function over form. Knife looks good.
nicee.. imagine one katana with this Warikomi technique how beautiful will be
So satisfying, the whole process taught me somethings.. like a life lessons
Glad to hear so!
What a beautiful and painstaking process. Your skills are astonishing, as is the result of your labour. Really very nice! Nice to watch too!
I think it looks awesome!
Perfection is not always better!
Thank you! I never strive for perfection luckily ;)
Knife be looking hella dope!
Dude, that looks sick!!! Can’t wait for the next thing you create!
Thank you! got another one coming :)
Brilliant work! Wonderful knife.
First time you tried this technique?
Amazing result!👍
Far from it. Made a lot of knives using Warikomi. Difference here is that I used mild steel instead of wrought. The dimiension of the starting material is also more tricky, thinner and taller, more tricky to get the high carbon steel centered.
We're always so hard on our own work... it's a beautiful knife and anyone would be blessed to own it.
Blessed? Wrong word.
Thank you! Best way to get better :)
@@TingTingalingy blessed, correct word
@@RVsbladesnthangs no, you are perverting what blessed means. Anyone with enough money will own it. That's not blessed, stop diluting blessings.
@@TingTingalingy I'm so fortunate that you're wrong!
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Luke 6:38
Excellent! I love the "blotchy " it looks like you somehow "faded" the high-carbon into it, with variations of opacity.
Beautiful cloud pattern
This looks a lot better than your giving yourself credit for my dude. Keep working
I still think you did a beautiful job with the knife. keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you!
DANG DUDE THAT A DOPE LOOKIN KNIFE "i love the profile picture"
Thank you!
I think that it came out beautifully great work
Thanks mate!
very nice well done!
Nicely done!
VERY NICE
Nice and fine work!
Superb job sir, thank you for sharing 😄😄
Superb. Never be satisfied. 😁 I bash a bit of iron myself. Forge ahead.
Thanks for start uploading vids again. Your work is amazing. Congrats man
Thank you!
Brilliant work
Красиво сделал, молодец👍
I think it's beautiful... kinda looks like a storm over the ocean?
He's back!
great job i love it 👍👍✌
very nice
Nice job!
Trabalho belíssimo e .muita perfeição e capricho gostei parabéns
Awesome
Он- будет резать!!!😜👌
Muy bien hecho buen trabajo Te quedo muy bien 👍
Gracias!
Wooow nice!!!
How you like that old hickory forge hammer, I have 2 and I love them. John is awesome.
nice work, by the first moment of you trying to spilt one side of the mild steel in half, i know you are gonna to do the forge wielding of laminated steel, and i like it, i like your way of laminated steel. i give a 👍for you, i don’t like others using tack welding then forging wielding. can you try the laminate steel and partial quenching for another blade please? thank you
Hey. Isn't improving the best part though? Amazing as always.
indeed it is. Thank you!
Looks good
Great effort, and a worthy result. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Seems like you are back up to speed again :)
I like a big broad knife like this for chopping veggies, esp. onions
Trying to be, thanks mate!
Good job
Well done for basic equipment friend. I like your knife and handle also. I'm a beginner also. I've made one knife from a 13mm gear wrench but I'm missing the most important piece of equipment which is an anvil. I have a crappy forge but I think it's junk. I tried it once and it didn't work well
Best of luck next time buddy. Thank you!
@@MakeNCreate i will not give up! Thank you and thanks for replying.
warikomi technique is not a correct name for this forging , the correct name is 'tingling balls technique' 1:55 :) , beautifuly crafted knife
Great job! I'm fascinated by knives and everything. I have a question, whats the effect of the glass cleaner in the knives?
very good
Beautiful work man. That's a difficult forge weld to pull off.
Thanks man. Yeah, mild steel doesn't help!
What's mild steel?
@Dom Brazzale it's steel with about 0.2% carbon, making it a low carbon steel. Because of the low carbon content, it's soft (for a steel) and also very flexible.
It's used in everything, cars, buildings, fencing. Anything that you see that's made of metal (and isn't aluminium or stainless) is probably going to be mild steel.
I'm the first to comment.
Congrats
Hello fellow knife maker, the contribution of your video is excellent, I would like to ask you a question that I did not know how to find an answer to.
Did you use stainless steel with a high carbon core, or low carbon steel with a high carbon core?
And if it is possible to specify the steels, I would appreciate it.
Your work excelent.
Thank you so much.
Mild steel for the jacket and w2 for the edge. Thank you.
I love the blade. I do have a question. Why did you glue the handle on with tape around the tang then knock it off and glue it on again? I have never seen this done that way before and I was just curious why the extra step?
Thank you! It's called bedding the tang. I do it so I get a cast of the tang in the handle. Makes it easier to shape that handle as the knife will sit the same way every time. Also makes glue up easier with all the individual parts. I'll know they're seated where they're supposed to. Hope that answers your question.
@@MakeNCreate Thanks for your reply, I will give that a try on the set of butcher knives I am working on. 😃
👍👍😘😘
Muito bom
How thick and tall is the flat stock you use as the outer steel? I'm interested in doing warikomi but I don't know how thick and tall the outer steel needs to be :P Thank you for your videos, I appriciate them a lot!
Bello
hey not bad for a first go with the tools you've got! you don;t fishbone your tangs?
What type of mild steel are you using that's cracking? I've never had that happen.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm confused about one thing: you forged and shaped two pieces that you then combined into one piece, as shown around 03:15, but it doesn't look like you use them in the final product. What happened to them?
2:15 where did the glow go?
Tepung yang di taburkan itu apa namanya belinya di mana?
i just use corner iron bar, must faster.
That's actually a great idea. Thank you!
@@MakeNCreate Great job with the video!
İt is great job. I want to learn what is that powder.
Thank you! It's borax. It melts and creates an oxygen barrier as well as cleaning the steel. Basically makes forge welding easier.
👍
Very nice..make me one
Ship it to Manila
Forgive my ignorance but is this “warikomi” technique the same as San mai?
Nope. Warikomi the ''jacket'' fold around the steel as the high carbon is inserted into a lot instead of being sandwiched in between to seperate pieces. Cheers! :)
@@MakeNCreate it's the low carbon jacket that's diagonally cut to allow the insertion of high carbon edge underneath, yes?
why need forged if more easily cut out from channel
Hey, are you selling these?!!! Bought a knife from you a couple years ago and asked about Nikiri styles like this.
whats the type of steel that u used as blade?
Mild steel and w2
What liquid he used on he sharpening stone to sharp the knife
Water.
I was wondering when you were going to stop teasing us on Instagram and give us a video on yt 😂
Haha, got more stuff coming.
Niiiiice! Did you leave Quebec? Are you back in Denmark? I lost track of your channel there for a bit
Back in Denmark yes. Thanks!

Perché non usa un vassoio per recuperare la polvere di borace, perché uno spreco simile, fra le altre cose sparsa dappertutto e se la respira pure. Magari e bravo nel lavorare il metallo, ma non fa bene a respirare il fumo chimico e la polvere di borace, un po di ordine pulizia e sicurezza personale vengono al primo posto.
I disagree that a press or power hammer would have made the difference in cracking or not. I think that's a new fangled belief that's been pushed by social media
Yeah I don't agree. It in essence has nothing to do with a power hammer or press. The issue is too many heat and cooling cycles with forge welding temperatues. Striker, press or power hammer... doesn't matter, just gotta have a way of reducing the amount of time spent forging with such a large blade and fragile material. Cheers!
@@MakeNCreate so odd you made mention of that then 😆 rapid shrinking & growing of the grains, like what happened, is completely unrelated to "having better results with a press or power hammer". Wtf lol
@@TingTingalingy A pretty common thing to do when facing a problem is to come up with a potential solution. That's what did.
Just curios why aren’t u using your coal forge
Doesn't get hot enough for the stuff I wanna do. Couple of other reasons but currently gas is easier for me to use.
@@MakeNCreate ahh ok
Say San Mai without saying San Mai
That's a beautiful knife.
Thank you!

There are no blacksmiths anymore, just iron grinders
While I understand your desire to improve your work......if you just want to get rid of such a low quality piece I can give you an address to ship it to :-)
um, take 1/8 bar stock and hot fold it. Save a ton of time, fuel and sweat.... You certainly picked the hard way....
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I Love your videos and working skills
I was watching you about the Skyrim Iron dagger, keep go on, it is very nice to see new projects !!!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you! I will. Greetings from the country above you ;)
For myself, I like the result. The blade, the handle ...
That's a big santoku. Amazing job.
well done, great build, simple and to the point. one of the best I have watched to date! Thank you
