Making A $3000 Damascus Chef Knife

  • My dad is crafting something remarkable - a Western-style chef's knife that goes beyond the ordinary. What sets it apart is the incredible feather pattern he's intricately designing on the blade. Envision a beautiful design resembling feathers, and that's precisely how the blade will appear!
    To enhance the knife's uniqueness, the handle is crafted from Honduras rosewood burl. This wood not only offers strength and durability but also boasts an exquisite pattern. Picture holding a knife with a handle that provides an excellent grip and looks stunning!
    And that's not all - my dad is adding a special touch with a custom copper alloy spacer. This spacer not only introduces a cool metallic accent to the knife but also serves to harmonize the entire design. It's like the finishing touch that makes the entire knife truly stand out.
    In essence, my dad is fashioning a chef's knife that transcends its practical purpose - it's a genuine work of art. From the captivating feather pattern on the blade to the elegant rosewood burl handle and the gleaming copper alloy spacer - it's destined to become an extraordinary and unique kitchen tool!

    Dad. How are you not a Master Smith yet? That knife is absolutely exquisite and the damascus is absolutely incredible.

      As you get older in life, titles mean less and less, as long as you enjoy what you're doing. That's what is important.

      He is a Journeymen Smith. He just got it this past year, so he should be eligible to test for Master in a couple years I think.

      @TwiztidPain 5 месяцев назад +2

      takes time and steps but first you master the skills, then you take the test. Those test for master put your knife under extream pressure, so him being able to make a knife that not only looks great but to be able to hold an edge under any condition you throw rather a 2x4 or not then to be able to past the deflection testing is rather an impressive test.

    I have often wondered why some knives are so expensive….this shows why and that for this level, $5k is a bargain for a professional chef. Just stunning craftsmanship!

    • @TwiztidPain
      @TwiztidPain 5 месяцев назад

      Lot of hours go into it. Also those patterns take lots of skills to know how to pull off, the more complicated the more steps in forging, more layers a kinfe has more hrs goes into the forge process also. End product also tends to be better though for holding an edge, as you have more layers of steel .

    I gotta say, you guys make some of the most beautiful knives I've ever seen. I have been making knives for the last 8 years and I am no where near this quality of work. I aspire to this quality of work although I'm in my 20's with low time to muck around in the shed and hone my skills, my life goal is to make a knife that can be appreciated by an important person and I will always come back to your videos and various knife makers for inspiration and motivation to eventually become a master smith.
