The fact you were able to take these metals that usually don't want to stick together and form a working piece of art like this is amazing. Truly a master of your craft, good sir
I'm going to have to watch this several times. This is by far the most intricate copper pattern I've seen in a steel blade, and I love that the strings give a further subtle pattern where there's no copper. Outstanding!
This is the first blade that hit me this hard, I'm a lifelong piano player, learned with my dad and took lessons for 15+ years, and still play daily. I also love to cook. This is such a cross of those passions that I would love to at least know what it costs and how it cuts/looks with a handle. It is a stunning work of art and I am extremely impressed with the look of this knife.
I believe I’m not exaggerating when I say that a large community appreciates and enjoys the educational, high quality but still frugal and to the point approach. The creativity in each individual knife (and the tea break 😏), the reveal after the acid dip and rinsing always brings “a little Christmas surprise” in the heart of every blacksmith, blade smith or metal worker enthusiast. Thank you.
"Educational" The man has no clue what damascus steel is... We already almost forgot how to make damascus steel once and now he is making people think pattern welded steel is "damascus steel"
I've been watching this guy for years. Occasionally, his stuff still pops up in my feed. Every single time I come to the same conclusion, this guy is the best, cleanest knife maker I've ever seen. He certainly makes it look effortless it certainly is not.
Shurap is awesome. I love how he always makes something awesome out of scraps and reclaimed material. You ought to check out @kyleroyerknives He makes bespoke pieces that are museum quality works of art. Kyle obsesses over every detail and it shows. They definitely have different approaches, but they both turn out some of the neatest blades I’ve seen.
one of my favorite pieces you've ever done! the way the dark line around the copper makes it look raised off the surface is so beautiful. i am always glad to see you continue to practice your art through the war. that is resistance
@@НиколайПилипенко-ф4ж no, that little amount of carbon on the surface will make no difference, plus he cut it off, it's not about carbonization but providing a good weld
I'll never forget the comment I saw a while ago about this being a cleverly disguised channel about tea. Another beautiful blade. It looks amazing. We're glad to see you're still posting, and hope your family is safe.
I love how even the can is tidy, ground welds, almost polished. If the just the can looks like art it gives a good indication of the quality of the final product
I was already happy to see another shurap video pop up in my feed, but that happy face weld @1:11 truly made my day (not to mention the beautiful end product).
This is definitely one of your coolest designs. It looks like you somehow managed to forge a copper vein into the blade. Its Gorgeous. Glad you're staying safe, Dmytro!
Exquisitely different and a great example of the craftsmanship and years of experience required to forge two normally incompatible metals. Very well done! 👍

First I saw copper and I thought sadly this knife will be useless but I kept watching. Thankfully I have learned never to “judge” a product before it’s finished. And I’m glad to be wrong about that copper, the instant I saw that the steel went through the springs I knew that this is a great knife. Hats off.
Il est magnifique ton couteau et ton travaille. Félicitation, j'ai passé ma vie soudeur et en 35 ans je n'ai jamais pensé a faire mon propre couteau et pourtant mon grand père étais forgeron a l'époque des fers qui forgeait pour ces clients. Continue ton magnifique travail 🤙🤙
I have seen others try similar videos and most of the time they seem sloppy and random. It is clear you are focused on the final look all throughout the process. Your art and craft show so much beauty in the metal. Thank you so much for your fantastic videos and of course, your amazing work.
I LOVE the little bits you do... "A little ground pepper to season", "A little chilli to give it some kick" and a smile to say "All's good!" 😏😉👍🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
in russian (& maybe also ukranian) the words for 'sharp' & 'spicy' are the same, leading some of us to believe the chilis are a kind of pun, but i suspect they also serve to soak up oxygen in the canister,
@@punkghostsamurai I've found that if you add some carbon based textile (like paper) to the inside of the material, when you forge, it should add carbon and prevent some oxygen from entering the case. Honestly, once it's been heated, the effect is lost, so it's rather pointless, aside from some shit's and giggles.
Now I watched the whole video and I'm blown away. What a piece. That's a work of art. I would not want to use it. That would be a display piece. You are one hell of a craftsman.
These videos enthrall me. I am a digital illustrator and this is so far away from what I do for a living it may as well be on the other side of the universe. And the results are breathtaking. And I love your little teapot.
I have been impressed and even amazed many times watching your videos and seeing your knifes, but for some reason, I was simply starstruck by this particular knife. Gorgeous.
Again, Shurap, you have out did yourself. I love the fact that there is no true uniformity like you normally would see on your other knives. It's almost a controlled form of chaos, which I think we all need to see in these works of art that you and other knife makers make.
Incredible looking knife. I don't know much about forging, metallurgy, or how it all comes together to make something both beautiful and functional, but you do incredible work. Love your videos.
Absolutely stunning. Not gonna lie I got unreasonably excited when I saw you posted again. I pray that you and your glorious country may soon know peace.
Діма, по-перше, вже час заробляти і на рекламі чаїв. По-друге, давно думав чи можливий "дамаск" з міддю і як би воно гарно виглядало. Але ти перевершив мої очікування! Дуже гарна робота!
The most strikingly beautiful blade i have ever seen. You, sir, are either a wizard or a legendary smith. Maybe both. But thank you for bringing such beauty into the world.
The fact you were able to take these metals that usually don't want to stick together and form a working piece of art like this is amazing. Truly a master of your craft, good sir
yeah eventually itll split and rust apart but at least at the moment it looks really badass
Well he added a chilies and peppers that’s why it stick 😅
Its is eventually the same as brazing to steel.
Could not have worked without the chilli.
Must be the pepper
I'm going to have to watch this several times. This is by far the most intricate copper pattern I've seen in a steel blade, and I love that the strings give a further subtle pattern where there's no copper. Outstanding!
The secret to the pattern is the peppers 😉
Such craftsmanship!!! That is one awesome blade!
Seeing the billet created always puts me in a happy place, as much as seeing the finished blade. The Tea Master's work is appreciated!
I come to watch the tea but stay to see the blade😄 and he's done it again
And it puts a happy face on the canister :D
It's the pepper!
He is Ukrainian, and the word for spicy is the same as the word for sharp in Ukrainian @@anb2456

Yep, the Ukrainian word for both sharp and spicy is Гострий.

One of if not the best copper Damascus pattern I’ve ever seen!!! WOW ! I’ve always loved you craftsmanship but this is on a new level sir !

Always a treat when I see a new video from you, not only to see your beautiful works of art... but also to know that you are still O.K.
I love how you can still see the twists of the strings in the final product
20 years ago my shop teacher told me it's impossible to make copper/steel damascus, when I suggested it.
I guess you proved him wrong today!
You should look him up and show him the video.
@@LuciferAlmighty That depends. Are we talking about modern damascus or true damascus.
@@LuciferAlmighty How can you say that? What about Wootz steel?
@@benkayvfalsifier3817 I can say that because there's only 1 type of Damascus steel period.
@@LuciferAlmighty And that is?

The copper inside the steel is beautiful, but what I really like is that you see tiny steel parts within the copper. Such a beautiful effect!
@@suprememasteroftheuniverse so? Takes years. All that time having something beautiful to watch at.
Okay I'm going to have to say that in my almost 10 years of knife making this is by far the prettiest blade i have ever seen in my entire life
Absolutely stunning! This is one of your best pieces yet. Much love and support from the UK!
Every time I watch your work, I'll see something that other blacksmiths will copy from you in the future.
Stay safe!
future blacksmiths will scratch their heads wondering what part is the salt and pepper playing in making Damascus
😅😂😂
@@Baubazthere is a good reason to put pepper in there actually, tho very few people know about it

Forging videos as they should be, no talk, just forging awesome blades and some low key implied jokes.
With some tea to keep the mind spicy
And most importantly, no loud music!
Baharatın gücü😄
@@Pow3llMorgan nothing ruins a forging video more than loud copyright free music no one likes.
I don't know, I tend to like it when the smith is going through their practice on what choices they're making in the design/process and why

Another beautiful blade. It looks amazing.
We're glad to see you're still posting, and hope your family is safe.
It's actually Uncle Iroh from Avatar the last Airbender
Makes me want tea everytime
Doesn't matter how many times I see it, but the :-) during these videos always makes me smile. Spectacular work as always!

Greetings from Europe to Damascus!
Certainly a new definition of 'spring steel'! Very nice! EDIT: The peppers are definitely what made it work in the end :)
There's something I find immensely satisfying watching the forge scale come off in the press
I still don't know why you season your metal but I love it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He does it to give more flavours and scents to the soul of the piece he creates.
spicy and sharp are the same in russian, so he seasons it to make it sharp
They're in Ukraine*@@LoneStarDisciples
Edit: yes it's the same language, but it's like the difference between Spain Spanish and Mexican Spanish
Its to add extra carbon.

I didn't realize until the end you purposely created a steel edge. Incredible!
0:52 that’s a spicy meat-a ball!
Це просто магія! Такої краси ще не бачив, просто зачаровує! Золоті руки, дай Боже здоров'я!
A NOTE: The pepper and chilis work as an anti-corrosive. Simple as that.
