It's almost midnight. I have an important business meeting at 8am tomorrow morning. I'm sipping a beer and watching a guy forge a knife. I'm proud of myself at this point.

@glenmpl1769 this is a typical a.hole comment. If you don't like his explanations, mute the loudness. So can you please shut up and just watching the video.

Another channel I LOVE watching for MANY TYPES of Damascus knives and such is 'Shurap'... Even gives us a 'Tea break' half way through! 😉👌 😎🇬🇧

Finally, someone who doesn’t just take a bar and trace it shape on it and then call it forging a knife. Nice work!

@pamtnman1515 Ай бұрын

Artful grinding of perfectly shaped high quality steel blades isn’t forging, it’s custom knife making, and I don’t think less of makers who do it right than I do of this talented maker here in this video. He really does a fabulous job here, if that’s the custom knife you want.

@redroomfotog9253 2 ай бұрын

Now that's a real man's knife.. Rugged looking, excellent Damascus patterning, and an old-timey style handle. Well done. I'm glad I found this channel today!

Beautiful and professionally done. May I suggest a thin, smooth bead of solder all around where the blade meets the guard. Makes a better visual and keeps liquid from getting down into the handle.

I always learn one or two things from every video. You concise comments are much appreciated. Today, I learned about grinding the corners off of a billet made up of lots of small objects. Did not know that before.

Maybe a wire brush attached to the drill, rubbing the bit as you drill? Everytime you raise the bit, hopefully will clean the ironwood out of the flutes?

The trick with the white paint is to make sure it's a titanium based pigment, not zinc. It should be on the label of the can or on the MSDS from the manufacturer.

@FireCreekForge 7 ай бұрын

Yes. I have tried a couple different paints (both Rust-Oleum I believe) and couldn't find a description of ingredients but both worked fine. I'm told the cheaper paints are almost guaranteed to have the Ti content as it's the least expensive ingredient. As a side note, putting zinc in the forge would be dangerous as far as fumes.
