Cool idea, but I really prefer to watch smiths actually forge out the blades rather than cut and grind the shape, 3/10 looks good, though.
🍪
Iv always been a fan on full tang on anything
As an old guy, it's great seeing what can be done with power tools. Beat-up old blacksmiths would *love* a power press and metal saws.
The press is a life saver. I couldnt do half the things i do without it.
I've never seen someone pinch the can open and pull the billet out. That was so cool to see. That's a beautiful knife and you are a craftsman ❤️
Thank you. I try to get it out as easily as i can. Its not always that smooth unfortunately but i will better the skill.
Yeah that was cool😊
Your work with that cannister was amazing I've never seen something like that before. And the pattern was great excellent job.
When you do as many canisters as i have you learn a trick or 2. It doesnt alway work out though 😅
Wow that turned out gorgeous. That's the first time I've seen someone round out the can like that. Worked great.
Its all in the can prep.
I’m digging the contrast with the handle and pattern
Yea looks good
Love seeing creativity in cannisters. Lock washers are an interesting choice. There are so many possibilities to achieve unique patterns, even mosaics with a clever plan. New sub, looking forward to more. Keep going.
Glad you liked it and i appreciate the support!
Does anyone else just want a hydraulic press? No reason why you need it just want one i your garage just in case?
Its fun to squish things
Nahh man?!!!! The knife 🔪 came out amazing, unique and beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
Thank you
I think that is the most beautiful knife I’ve ever seen. I have the Internet, so obviously I’ve seen a lot of knives lol. Seriously though, it amazing.
Thank you
Beautiful finished product!
Thank you
really love how it looks
Glad you liked it
I love how that one looks great colors and the core is awesome it turned out great. Keep up the great work 😎
Thanks
Your commentary has vastly improved😊 I think your confidence level is awesome as well. I like that you love to challenge your skills! Im STILL dinking around with mono steel when i have time😂 Love your stuff Bro!!!
Id do more monosteel myself but unfortunately it doesnt pull numbers on youtube. People like the wacky stuff. Thank you for the compliments.
Fun project. Using washers is an interesting idea in a canister. I've never tried it but I think I will now!
Go for it. If you need any tips dont hesitate to ask.
There are 1000s of cool things to try canisters Damascus with. Nails, screws, bolts, staples, sewing needle, fishing hooks the list is endless!
Man you're quickly becoming one of the most talented smiths on RUclips!
You know man i take that to heart because im super mid compared to some of the makers ive met. Thank you for the kind words.
That's awesome, as always. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for watching
Just found your channel tonight. What a beautiful blade. Strong work!
Thank you
Your work is stunning!
Thank you
Wow, that turned out pretty fine blade!
Thanks
Turned out very nice.
Thank you
Beautiful!
Thank you
the first pattern looks like alot of skull from handle to the blade and it looks so cool.
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Looks great! Sometimes hard to keep that core centered with powdered steel jacket, I believe cause it moves easier under the press when forging. Hope you get your press fixed soon! 🔪❤️
Hopefully i get the pieces i ordered this week.
Looking great my dude, that's dope.
Thanks
@@JPsBladeworks yup
Have you experimented with having the core wider than your pattern to make sure you don't have any crossover?
Ive never done it. It would be interesting to try as long as i only weld the ends of the billet so i dont get any weld on my cutting edge.
I was thinking about/wondering the same
Subscribed. Beautiful knife, love the handle too!
Thank you for the support
Best explanation ever.
Glad you liked it
Nice pattern
Thank you
Look great, excellent idea
Thank you
I like the way the coffee made everything blend together, especially how the patern in the steel matched the micarta in the handle. It made the handle very interesting to look at.
Im a fan of coffee etch. I like the dark bold colors.
Nice job!
Thank you
Gorgeous knife
Thank you
Wow! Thats so cool! Ive always wanted to make a knife.
Go for it. Its a lot of fun!
Yeah I would but I don't have any equipment to do it.
Start small
Beautiful knife. I love the pattern on the handle. Overall, I think it came out amazing. ~Kevin
Thanks Kevin
Keep up the good work bub !
Thanks!
I love the random canister builds JP 👍👍 keep on keepin on homie. How you enjoying this Florida heat bro 😎 it was vicious today
Nothin much to it. Just felt like the sun was trying to sear the skin off your bones. It gets good in August 🔥
That's a cool knife 🔪👍
Glad you liked it
Very cool knife my man
Thank you
Nice blade 👌
Thanks
Gorgeous knife bro
Thanks
Perfect
🙏
Hi! First of all, your knives are amazing! I really want to support your work, so as a graphic designer myself, I recommend that you work with a professional graphic designer on your logo. The current logo doesn't translate well onto metal surfaces like the knife. It seems it was designed with paper-based media in mind, which is why it's not quite effective on metallic surfaces. That´s all I have to say. I love what you do. 😊
Thanks. Ill take that into consideration.
That's bad ass homie, nice work
Thank you
@@JPsBladeworks your welcome
Awesome work 👍👏 100000/10
Thank you
have you ever snapped a blade hand sanding since it isnt fully support in your jib?
No. If i feel its too long and thin ill put a board underneath it before i clamp it for extra support. If the knife is on the thicker side i do without the board.
Glad this project worked out for you, and I assume when you said you were test-etching in muriatic you meant ferric! Personally, traditional random pattern has more appeal to me, but to each his own.
Yea i meant ferric. I caught it in the editing but decided to leave it in there for giggles. I like random as well but i really like to experiment and play with it
Wonder what this would look like if it were folded or twisted on itself before doing the insert?
The twist sounds interesting. I feel if i fold it it would just end up minimizing the patter just like when you stack and fold for pattern welded billets the more you fold the tighter and smaller the pattern gets.
@@JPsBladeworks I can see that being a concern, still a very well made and nice looking piece. I'd be proud to wear it on my hip and show it off.
I did not expect it to look like that. Wow! It’s so beautiful.
Thanks
What kind of belt grinder do you use? I want to get one or build one soon but don’t really know what brand or seller to go with.
I use an OBM 2x72 Grinder. Its definitely a bang for your buck. Its half the price of other brands and does the same thing. If you want to build one yourself id look into getting a revolution kit with house made. Ive wanted one but i dont have the space in my shop for another.
@@JPsBladeworks thanks that really does help
Which is the hardest type of steel to make a knife , sword etc ?
Not sure. All steels have their ups and downs. Straight ball bearings with no powder is really difficult. I havent been able to get that to work yet.
Want it!
🙏
🔥🔥
🙏
Awesome 😎 blade 👍👍
Thank you
Did we can't use the westes of grinded/cutted billet to be another blade?
Im saving them to use for a grave yard damascus in the future.
@@JPsBladeworks that would be cool..i do really wondering to know if you combine all wastes into one blade with so much mosaics. I will waitin that video ✌️😂
Nice work, see you at Blade if you’ll be there.
Its not looking good for me going to Bladeshow this year but things could change.
@@JPsBladeworks well if you make it I’ll be at 19J. Hope it works out for ya.
If im there ill pass by
Nice.
Thank you
Very nice Wow 😎👍💯
Thank you
13:08 first time seeing someone surprised by his own editing lol
I edit it all then i voice over while watching. Its hard to get everything that comes to mind in a timely manner 😅
Was that heat treated?
yes
That gold or brass coating was cadmium.
You lean something new everyday
Engineers will tell you that spring washers have exactly the opposite effect if you are looking for a locking feature. This is a good use for them.
We gotta use them somewhere 🫢
What grade of steel are the washers? Are they made from high carbon steel?
Everything i saw while researching leads to some kind of medium carbon alloy.
Thank you.
Very nice, great vid. Why do you spray wd 40 on it?
It helps with keeping the steel oxygen free and it burns away and leaves a thin layer of carbon. Its the same as dipping it in kerosene.
@@JPsBladeworks ok cool. Thanks
Great!
Where can i get one of those?
No idea.
@@JPsBladeworks Do you sell your knives completed?
@manuelrubio1957 i do but i dont upload them onto my website often. If you have instagram you could hit me up if you want this one in particular we could work something out.
Maybe try to get a hold of some fordite, check it out it's pretty cool.
Ill look it up. Ive never heard of it.
Good video but FYI those are actually spring washers
my reciept said lock washers and so did the little box they were in
You went to Ace Hardware for those?
Tractor supply
Man I wish I could afford a press, doing it by hand is so hard/tiring
It is a pretty hefty commitment. Even for me when i made mine and that was when materials where considerably cheaper than they are now. But it is great to have one around
Оборудование хорошее, материалы хорошие, работа хорошая! Нож - жабокол говённый.
👌
🙏
Looks like cadmium coating.
Whats that?
👍👍👍
👍
spring washers
They have many names
Гровер-шайбы, сталь 65Г.
That's the easiest I've ever seen a canister just slip off...
They arent always this easy but it is nice when it is.
The brass colored plating is cadmium plating. Great work.
Thank you. I learn something new every day.
You must not know what brass looks like.
That $9000 worth of washers to the US Government.
Probably more if we are being honest.
Bad ass
Thanks
Make washers from a knife
Unfortunately im not a washersmith. Those skills are far beyond my meager bladesmith skills.
It's zinc plating, not gold or brass.
I was referring to the color. If it was gold, i would be doing other things with it
That yellowish coating on them at the start is Cadmium plating. Being a toxic heavy metal, I hope that it was disposed of properly. (and honestly, you could probably just let it alloy in with the steel)
What would happen if i dont strip it off. I would probably just burn off in the forge i would think. Except i dont think i should be near those fumes.
@@JPsBladeworks yeah, probably would burn off if it finds any oxygen and that's defnitely no bueno.
I believe they switched to zinc chromate for all but military use. Still something you want to strip off.
@@MarkATrombleyyeah, the majority is zinc based. And yes, mil-std still requires cadmium. Just like we were some of the only ones still using halon fire extinguisher bui’s hers on the flightline. Super nasty shit to mess with for sure!
I didn't see a single lock washer here.
🍪
Are you sure lol?
Nice try at being a troll. They are in fact split lock washers.
🤜🤛
👊
this guy has a lot of shop tools, but the way he does thanks doesn't impress me much.
Good thing im not trying to impress you bud.
But, did it kill?
It made me bleed.
@@JPsBladeworks you are the Forged in Fire Champion!
I'd be more impressed if you Made Lock Washers From A Knife.
Just sayin', but still, nice work. ; )
Dont temp me with a good time
Curious I see a lot of RUclipsrs who do blacksmithing and they always cut their shape out for the night they kind of defeats the purpose of forging don't you think I mean Forge that tip just saying
Your opinion is valid but thats a negative on my end. When i see forging is the right way to go i forge it. When stock removal is the best option i cut it out. Sometimes i cut then forge. The methods exist for a reason. My main reason is distortion of pattern.
@@JPsBladeworks okay that makes sense
F.Y.I. the coating is cadmium.
Thanks
Why do people still ruin their knives making a skeleton tang? When you chop or stab with a knife, the shock goes into the tang. Next time weigh your knife before and after drilling the life out of it and you will see that you have only removed maybe a gram in weight but you removed a ton of force strength.
No
@@JPsBladeworks😂
You can weaken them. Depending on how theyre located. His holes serve to lighten and bring the balancepoint more center, but not weaken the tang. Stay behind the ricasso and forward most pin and it wont matter. Any weakness in the tang is negated by handle material. Sharp angles in the ricasso can produce stress risers that weaken the tang. JP early on had an issue over pressing steal. But he seems to have worked through that issue. JP has come a long way in his craft.
😂 prolly have pioneer woman knives in your kitchen. Negative opinions don’t fly around here bro…. Not cool and no one respects it.
None of my stick tang puukko knives have broken in normal use or even battoning. Axe is much better tool for chopping and I would use knife as last option for chopping was it full tang or not.
Nice when do I get it in the mail . Good kid ignore trolls it yours make what you want. I love the NO reply.
Once the check clears lol but on a serious note i just ignore them and mock them back. I mean i could humor them and reply a long answer to why what they say makes no sense but its better to keep it short and sweet.
@@JPsBladeworks I agree takes two to argue. And if they don't get that maybe they will move on. Very cool work sir keep it up.
Damascus. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Zzzzzzzzzz
You have probably explained this 100 times already, but is the coating inside the "can" keeping that shit from all melting together? Sub for a response that explains how that works!
The coatinf is just white paint. It keeps the can itself from sticking to what's inside. The pigment in the paint that makes it white is titanium oxide and it doesnt like to weld. Its the same principle as to why people use whiteout to line their cans. Only difference is that spray paint is easier to apply. Hope that helps.
Why don't you just make a thicker japanese handle fit style. Easier too grind wood than steel
Because i suck at hidden tangs
@@JPsBladeworks Is it possible to get the tang cnc:d round. Then you could drill out the handle. Do it dude!!! ,,🤙💯
Why would somebody spend all that money on equipment only to make shitty knives. Makes no sense to me.
Because its my money and i can do as i wish with it. Thats pretty sensible if you ask me.
Using screws, nails, iron balls or chains to make a knife only serves to visually embellish the work done. What is the difference in appearance between the knife you made and a knife worth $5 bought from a hardware store?You need to get rid of the classic knife model that has been stereotyped for thousands of years and come up with more original designs.
Nah
That $5 hardware store knife is made of out shit steel that struggles to hold an edge. Or stainless steel that has chromium in it and makes for steel that has very large grains which are harder to sharpen. There's a reason you don't see any of these knife makers using stainless steel, but it's popular in mass produced shit because it's low maintenance and rust resistant. Maybe let the person who makes knives, make the knives. Either sit back and enjoy, or don't.
As soon as I see a "smith" trace a template and cut their blade out of a billet, I stop watching their video. You have all the tools and time to forge it to shape...
Heres a cookie 🍪 for your troubles, my friend.
Oh man... dude.. I clicked your name to go to your channel so I could see your epic knife making skills.. y'know, since you're criticizing other's and all.. and all your videos must've gotten taken down! You should definitely contact YT and find out why. Can't wait to see your videos of hand forging the steel into the desired knife shape. Let me know when I can see those.
@DisIntegratedLife oh man, I'm not a streamer so I must not do anything yeah? 🤡
@@Skitzo913 You can make all the claims you want. You got proof? Video or it didn't happen. Without proof you're the one that looks like a clown. This is the Internet, literally can claim anything. My instructor for Taekwondo knew and trained with Chuck Norris. True or false? I was a 2nd Gup, true or false? Anyone can make any claim they want, without proof, means nothing.
no talking please.
Go watch someone else
@@JPsBladeworks sorry your feelings have been hurt. i certainly will.
Wow you destroyed the tang on that knife. There's zero reason to put that many holes in a tang period! Ridiculous dude
🍪
Hey man, I was really curious, where can we see examples of your work?
