Ever see something and say "I better make a knife out of it"? Thank you to Luis Montez for his expert sledge work. Do not use galvanized or coated cable for forging. These are the most commonly available cables (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes and even online wire rope retailers) and will release poisonous fumes.

One of the craziest Damascus patterns I've ever seen. Super cool. Nice vids, I personally like more commentary because the few instances of humor I've heard from you have been pretty entertaining, but either way keep doing what you're doing. It's good quality and the results are impressive.

***** Let's call it pattern welded steel. I know Damascus is 2 alternating steels, I just thought most people would recognize the etched patterns as Damascus. Either way looks really nice.

+Silent- Hill it's called "razor sharp" for a reason. Hair is actually a pretty complicated matter, especially facial hair, some can be as hard as copper wires (same diametre of course), it's implied that if you can get a blade as sharp as a razor, then it's as sharp as it can get

+Silent- Hill For me, it was always cutting a piece of paper from the top edge and straight down.... less dangerous.

@Bru741iX 8 жыл бұрын

+reicirith The thing is, with printer paper, you can easily cut it with even a moderately sharp blade. It just requires the right technique. I saw a video once where they tested sharpness by taking a single newspaper page, folding it so it can stand upright, then cutting it in half with a knife without any sawing motion. Now that's sharp, and needless to say it shaved like it was meant to do it. (it was a kitchen knife) For me, a knife that can be dragged through a phonebook page without tearing it or "jumping", is sharp enough to do most things you can do with a knife.

I love these videos. About how long does something like this take you to produce (the knife, not the video)? Several hours or is it days?

Good question.

It takes 10 min to forge a knife to a shape you can rough out on a grinder, but that is hot time. it takes my forge 30 minutes to heat up to forge tempurature if I use coke. if I start with coal tack on another 20 min. steel takes a good 3 or 4 minutes to heat up the first time and I am sure it took a couple hours to weld that cable into a billet. sanding and file work take up the most time for me that is a whole day. so for me it takes about 3 days to go from peice of cable to a knife if that is the only thing I am doing.

+stizan24 it takes 10 minutes if there is no forgewelding. lol I think if I met someone that could make a roughed out cable knife in 10 minutes, Id give up smithing. hahaha

10 minutes of hot time. Where the metal is actually on the anvil. This does not include heating the forge or the metal. If you are working a piece 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick of,something like 1084 it goes fairly quickly. Grinding and sanding take up the most time.

Now THAT is Damascus steel. Nice job dude. I'm trying to add plants to mine like the south India masters did. This played a big part in the patterns pre 1700's. Had something to do with the chemicals in certain vegetation.
