Thank you all for watching. Write in the comments what knives you want that we would make ...

[@ahmadfariszawawi4365]

can you make keris?

[@tyooi7969]

black and white powder what's the name. please tell me

[@patiencenolimit1113]

I beg you to answer my question: What is black and white powder? and do you use it to hold the steel together?

[@fz-makingknives3663]

the powder is graphite and glass. Graphite for carbonization of the ingot. Glass flux.

Your work is totally amazing. I've always wanted to learn how to make wootz steel but you make it look so easy. Your an exceptional artist. Someone that can take a difficult job and make it look easy. SUPERB! THANK YOU.

Thanks 👍

[@Cobbshobbies]

I would love to see a detailed video on making the Wootz itself and how the furnace is setup. Thats amazing!

[@spudhead169]

That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen made. The pattern of the steel makes it almost look like stone, incredible.

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thanks 👍

Beautiful…just heeded a hamon (with water quench) to complete the picture. Exquisite!

[@Darklg23]

Nothing is more satisfying than a beautifully sharpened tanto like that one

[@robvanza]

Damascus pattern beautiful,
Bolster fitment perfect,
Scabbard and handle in hornbeam wood gave it a stealth well finished smooth look,
Overall a beautiful piece to be proud of!! Really enjoyed this video and even saw a new technique with the scabbard!

[@konstantinkleber8792]

@@fz-makingknives3663 amazing job! how did u get that pattern/patina..?!

[@davidmccracken288]

@@konstantinkleber8792 I have used yellow mustard. You can also use vinegar 👍

[@nextlifeonearth]

@@konstantinkleber8792 It's with the melting in the crucible. He melts the steel down with those powders (glass shards and graphite) in the furnace.
After it's been melted, the different impurities divide over the material and as they crystallise as they are quenched, those patterns show up.
It's basically how the original Damascus blades got their pattern. It wasn't pattern welding, this is the real deal.

[@stektirade]

@@nextlifeonearth this is not authentic wootz damascus, far from it. Its the very precise chemical composition and the way its heat treated is how you get real wootz damascus. watch al pendray and dr verhoven.

[@sirgrr]

the pattern in the steel looks very similar to crucible wootz damascus with all the dendrites that are popping out at you. it looks very amazing you were able to pull that off and not have it look man made like pattern welded damascus tends to be. good job!!

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thank you

[@Runningcheetah1]

Another masterpiece. Still waiting on that video that shows your sharpening process. Curious what you use to make the final edge. Your sharpness tests in all your vids are absolutely spectacular.
