Water bad

Plink! Snap! Pop!

Did bro use tongs to make tongs

Magnificent ser. Making a 1000layer version please.

Nice job!

Real question is how long do you want it to last. Will epxoy last 100 years? 200? Are we making tools or heirlooms.

Nice toe-jabber.

Dude, why would you think water was a good idea. Really. If you have any forging experience, you know better

Forged in fire 101. Should have waited until you were finished before hitting that j

That's disappointing. One of those good lessens in life. 😊

just found your channel what a beatiful knife😳 im gonna try my hand at some feather damascus this fall new Sub and beautiful work Bro, Mark 👍👍✌

Based. Should have donated it to me

Ouch.

I generally wont buy any knife with a rat-tail tang period, a full tang matching the full thickness/heu=ight of the blade is just so much more durable and provides more material to pin the sides onto.

$5000 huh? In what world?

I've built a few things here and there. I already know it's not needed, but I personally like them not only for looks but gives me comfort knowing my knife or sword won't won't fall apart on me 😅

Odins eye

Amazing work brother absolutely beautiful

Lifted to soon, the cracks of pain

Idk if it lost to time. I mean, we still mixed layered steel. I suppose it was stronger back then, but I find it impossible to believe that a bunch of desert rats figured out something that no one in 3000 years of blacksmithing hasnt figured out. There isn't any " Damascus" of that time around anymore, so we dont know we might be making stronger blades now with patterned weld

Ah yes, Carbon Nanotubes in an ancient metal. What will these conspiracy theorists say next, that the Pyramids were buit by the aliens?! Oh, wiait...

So that's what the point of damascus!

Dude that video quality and your personality mixed with your professional process and the finished product the entire project was amazing to watch I absolutely love how excited you got and that sword is beautiful the lower layer count really makes it pop and I'm no historical expert but I feel like when they weren't using power tools they weren't making hundred thousand layers so the simplistic nature I feel makes this sword more historically accurate and more beautiful at the same time this was one of my favorite videos to watch and I loved that you gave credit to the people you learned certain techniques from I look forward to more content from you keep up the excellent work much appreciated that's how it's fuckin done boys.

I had never seen your videos before and it's obvious that you really know your stuff. I'm also impressed that you studied under the Stagmer Bros and Iliya at Baltimore Knife and Sword. HOWEVER, . . . when you over act and do goofy stuff, those antics detract from your presentation. For the viewer, it's kinda like seeing a juicy looking hamburger then taking a bite only to find the beef has a shit core inside. Honestly, you're already SO GOOD at explaining and blacksmithing that you don't need to fool around with infantile behaviors / speech. Only RUclips dweebs and newbies do that stuff. Just be you, get collaborations with popular knife makers and you'll do great earning our respect and a ton of subs.

I'm sorry but the audio is just so funny.

this is beautiful man wow! excellent music choices too

Excellent work man!! Sword is beautiful!!

Absolutely amazing!!

Wow that’s incredible

Great work man!!

If its not wood then its too $$$$$

They can't even figure out how they made Damascus 1000 yrs ago much less replicate it today

What does the user like, and what are you using the knife for.

Both but i like wood especially when i cut or find it myself in the mountains so there always an adventure story to each knife or sword but the synthetic is so cool to i don't really use it though but want to more

I try and forge to shape most of the time. By try I mean sometimes I don't want any forge finish and end up with some.

Antler...

I have a Custom blade made from boron carbide and its a million times better than this

You should be better then to use water

Lol

I like handle pins for the aesthetic, but of course the increased strength is good.

What if modern blade smiths call their products "modern damascus steel" and historians could call the historical stuff "historical damascus steel"? It could help avoid the controversy without confusing people and the change wouldn't be difficult to make since it's just adding a word instead of actually changing the name. It would also be an equal change on both sides, each side adds one word for clarification, of the argument so it wouldn't feel like one side won and the other lost. Both modern and historical damascus deserve to be talked about and I think it would be better to talk about how cool it is instead of arguing about what gets to be called damascus steel

Too cold too fast

Honestly for me if its a functional knife its plain brass pins and epoxy, if its more elaborate then mosaic pen, if its a show off piece then no pin.

Yup. Rookie mistake. What did you use to quench the blade with? 1st of all, and 2nd, you dipped the blade and pulled way too fast and way too many times. You are supposed to quench in oil by dipping once and hold for like 10-20 seconds or more, not quench and do a saw motion. You never watched Forged In Fire?

I think pop culture calls it Damascus to try and bury the achievements of the past. Calling patern wielded steel Damascus is just modern blade makers stroking their own egos with a subpar product.

Mom said not go double dip😅

And hidden tang handles are so so so much easier to make
