I have seen many bladesmiths attempt doing damascus out of razor blades. And while I find the concept pretty neat, i have never really cared for the finished result other smiths have had. And yet here you are, blowing us all away with hands down the most beautifully crafted take on this build challenge. Words are not enough to praise what you've created here. Just. Incredible man.
@thomasbecker9676 no one wants to hear your bs excuse of how the only "real" damascus has to be made in only 1 place from 1 certain mine and contains 2% bullshit from the golden cow. The term damascus has evolved to include several different methods of how it's made.
Saying it's not damascus is the same as saying your mom isn't a sloot after taking money from a thousand guys and sleeping with them. Get over yourself
Once I saw the pepper, I knew who you were calling out. You forgot the tea, unless that was the instant coffee joke. This is like calling Eminem out. Dmitry (Shurap) is a legend.
the coffee is tech he invented a couple of years back, just makes the blacks blacker, increases contrast, don't know how or why it works but yeah; i've seen it getting copied lately.
@@retematic2351A similar albeit slightly different result could probably be done with tea since it is the tannins in coffee react with the iron and iron containing molecules on the surface to create even darker materials in certain regions. A similar reaction makes ancient bog oak black.
It would do multiple things also like consuming and oxygen in the canister as it burns it would also turn to carbon potentially acting carbon to the finished steel
Out of all the forging videos I have watched over the years, i have never seen methods like his. He is a true artist with the metal. He earned a subscriber 😊
Extremely skilled person! Knowing metallurgy, outstanding forging, and designers experience. It's simply impossible to count all skills and knowledge. Just blade design costs more than claimed. Very impressive. Thank you very much!
Love this. You and Shurap are my favorites to watch (Your dad too) and i often reflect internally on how very differently you operate. I just love everything about you doing this.
Found your yesterday, I am binge watching your content you are extremely skill and such a humble guy with a beautiful family. Thank you for such inspirational art 😊
Excellent video. I much prefer this style to the highly edited ones with "clever gimmicks." It highlights your exceptional skill and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing with us.
I don’t know, if I had the money that’s probably what I’d expect to pay for it. High quality, hand forged, quenched in such a way you’d likely never need another straight razor again. I can see it reaching that value, though would probably be worth more if it was forged to shape and not cut and sanded to shape. A genuinely hard thing to price
It’s only worth 3k if the leg hair ships with the knife. Otherwise no deal. Seriously though, I’d be curious as to what the actual properties of the knife steel are now. Razer blades aren’t exactly known for toughness, durability, or corrosion resistance. Paying 3k for something that can say be done better in terms of function out of a steel like say, S90V or MagnaCut for $300-400 means its value is mostly as an art piece. .
it either does nothing, or it burns the oxygen in the canister to make a better forge weld, I'm not a blacksmith but from my some decade of watching it that's what I've gathered
Nothing, it is just a pun in Russian since there is a word that can describe both sharp and spicy things in that language. The pepper doesn't significantly harm anything and it can remove a little oxygen from the canister but that isn't the reason why it is used.
I don't know why I needed this video, but I needed this video. Well done. Found the whole process relaxing and calming. Watching the billet casing slide down over the blades was very satisfying.
I have watched a lot of videos of blacksmiths make knives/ swords some do it good, some do it very well and some are artists. Kyle royer is a absolute artist the the highest level
I have a feeling that he simply didn't include the footage of that in the video. He was grinding off the welds later on so it's not like he isn't cognizant of working mild steel into the billet.
There's multiple clips of him grinding and of the acid etch before he stacked the billet. You can very clearly see that he removed the mild steel before stacking
At 4:51 you can see the dark color is the razors, the light color is high carbon steel powder, and the outside edge is a tarnished tan/bronze color, that's the mild steel case.
@@kyzual Yeah I may have to retract my previous comment...there are definitely three different types of steel in that stack, and they're present in the finished knife as well. Either he forged mild steel into that billet, or the canister was made with some variety of carbon steel itself. Looking at the very beginning, that canister seems to be homemade rather than off the shelf tubing, and he didn't put any kind of whiteout on the inside either. Whether that's because the canister started out as square tubing and cut down to fit razor blades, or it was made from some type of lower carbon steel (1018 or 1050 perhaps?). I could get behind incorporating a canister made from a lower carbon steel as a third steel, but not mild steel. It's either a total rookie mistake or that was part of the plan.
Gillette razer blades back in the day use to be made of out retired railroad track. [only on particular manufacture of track they'd use] now we got razer blades being turned back into straight razers. I think we should go full circle and turn a few boxes of razer blades into a section of rail-road track... lmao.
OHHHH!! That's how they create threads on bolts!!!! Could you imagine? I am amazed at how many times you could turn that thing without it breaking. Very cool work!!! I would be missing the tips of my index fingers if I tried using it!

Unfortunately professional barbers are required to use disposable blades on their straight razors now to avoid spreading blood bourn diseases. Because of this it is only for personal use or decoration.

This video's style, editing, tone, and all else is just as much a beautiful work of art as the knife is. It's very bold but you have definitely earned the right to be bold. Keep up the great work!
1st off. I've zero interest in blacksmithing. I don't always comment, but I always enjoy these clips, as you're not trying to educate me, high brow me or show off. You're just crafting a product end to end and entertaining me 👍
As a barber 45 years, I collect razors, even though we can't use them legally anymore. Sanitation restrictions. I have some my dad a barber till 2018 RIP, used in 1945 after the War that were well over 130 years old then. This is interesting to me. A new take on an old tool. Stropping will eventually round the corners off the heel and shoulder of the blade making it much safer to use for everyone. Until then, great care must be observed when pivoting the blade around the cheeks, throat and nose. I like it very much. Thanks.
This is very rare for me, but this knife is actually available for sale. Click here 👉 royercutlery.com/

Is the pepper a reference to Shurap?

I thought the same thing!
but the chillies are missing 😊
He got the pepper though lol
Where's the forge side tea

Isn't the "pepper" a legit thing to remove oxygen from the interior of the sealed billet?
He is also calling out Jessie Hu with the lighting of the forge
YES! A great reference, this guy knows his stuff 1:34
Haha yes, me too noticed that lmao.
what's that?

The long videos are good but I’m loving these shorter full build videos!!
The fact this was an ode to Shurap makes my soul very happy😊
Gorgeous work, Kyle! Nice nod to Shurap, too!
This is genuinely an excellent way to recycle used razor blades, if they did this worldwide think of the metal we could salvage
The slow motion sound of the hammer did something nice to my brain.
The toll of the bell rings for the forgotten.
I liked that you used Shurap's signature pepper addition.
Right outta the Shurap playbook. Looks good bud.
