this one of the video's where the music is adding to the workmanship and craft, that is turning a piece of iron into a stunning piece of steel, thank you for showing your skill smithing art.
That knife is a real piece of art. I love watching videos like this. I had no idea what he was doing with that handle and when it all comes together its just awesome.
So great getting a chance to watch this master smith at work.. Getting to see the techniques and tools and attention to detail of most JS and MS bladesmiths is always a pleasure to watch. Who would've thought that Rodrigo did so much of his work using merely files, a simple foredom and a thinly backed flat platen on his grinder to make his beautiful & flawless integrals! I was expecting a lot more mill work! Great videography and music as well. Thanks as always for sharing. :)
Caramba Rodrigo, vc é um alquimista rapaz. parabéns e obrigado por representar o Brasil com tamanha excelência. Eu sigo aprendendo pela Internet, um dia faço o curso, mas, paixão já tenho. Abraço.
Que vídeo Lindo , realmente inspirador , sempre tive a curiosidade de saber com a parte da Madeira encaixava de forma exata no cabo de metal estilo fechadura , seu trabalho é uma obra de arte de um refinamento belíssimo .
Fantastically beautiful. Very practical looking design too. Kind of sad to think that it will...most likely, spend it's life in a display case rather than getting bloody, dirty and resharpened for a lifetime. Just my opinion. Georgous craftsmanship!
Show demais, se um dia eu pudesse ter oportunidade de aprender com um cara desses eu trabalharia para ele de graça, nem que fosse só para levar café, e varrer a oficina.
Beautiful finished knife at 5:31. Not a fan of a downward curve geometry in a chef knife (not the optimum ergo IMO), but it is still a stunner ... the damascus, the integral handle, wow.
for anyone else that sees this, carbide will engrave hardened steel and the spine was most likely not softer since the hardness helps the pattern pop. A mastersmith would never differentially temper damascus as far as i am aware.
I wouldn’t dream of question a master Smith’s ability, but it seemed as though he was hammering some some very cold steel at around the 2min mark. Kind of made me clinch a bit.
Adam White no clue! At first I thought maybe he just wasn't etching that specific part (masked off maybe) though it seems super polished, unless he inset a separate piece of steel off camera
@Western Chauvinist you can block the etching acid with nail polish. Not sure if that's what he did here, but I've seen it done on other videos. Would allow for clean lines if applied with a little care.
Do not usually comment but could not resist on this one. This is true craftsmanship !!
I did not know this was humanly possible. Absolutely incredible craftsmanship. I have much to learn if I ever want to be this good
same
Woah. The way that handle is fitted. Awesome.

That is freaking nifty! I love the way the handle is made.
Excepcional seu trabalho, será que um dia chego a metade do seu talento.. 😅😅😅 parabéns Rodrigo Sfreddo..
That is one beautiful knife. One day I hope to make a blade half as good. I should renew my membership so I can get my J.S. I'm 3 years.

Incrível Rodrigo
Assistindo esse vídeo pela 100000000 vez
Most Awesome!
Verdadeira obra de arte,👏👏👏👏
Fantástico!
At first I was thinking what heck on the handle but it came together perfectly
Esse é um Iluminado.
Lindo trabalho
Very fine work, resulting in a beautiful knife; but I'm confused, wouldn't tempering the blade make it impossible to engrave it for the gold inlay??
+xman870096 I'm far from an expert, but it looked to me like when it was heated for the quench, the spine was at a lower temp than the edge.
he stamped the inlay before the heat treat and tempering, then inlaid.
for anyone else that sees this, carbide will engrave hardened steel and the spine was most likely not softer since the hardness helps the pattern pop. A mastersmith would never differentially temper damascus as far as i am aware.
I wouldn’t dream of question a master Smith’s ability, but it seemed as though he was hammering some some very cold steel at around the 2min mark. Kind of made me clinch a bit.
He's probably just planishing, to get it smooth and not forging it. It could also just be the light.
Nice details 👌
Congratulations !!
I have looked at a lot of his knives and have yet to figure out how he is getting the polished line around the keyhole
Adam White no clue! At first I thought maybe he just wasn't etching that specific part (masked off maybe) though it seems super polished, unless he inset a separate piece of steel off camera
Guess he doesn't want anyone to know but it really makes the knife. I think it's a silver inlay.
@Western Chauvinist you can block the etching acid with nail polish. Not sure if that's what he did here, but I've seen it done on other videos. Would allow for clean lines if applied with a little care.
Amazing!
That’s thinking outside of the box!
Incrível...
Amazing
Perfeito..... De 1°
Holy mackerel. Perfection exists.
Came here from Alec Steele.
I hope to make a knife 1/10 as well someday.
Perfeição o/
Reminds me of the Butterfly Sword in FFVII.
approximately how many hours did it take to make this knife?
Sensacional!!!
Espetacular !
