I appreciate a creator who doesn't hide behind editing. I watch to learn things, and learning from shared mistakes or first attempts at a technique is just as valuable to me as seeing a flawless execution. It takes courage on the internet to say, "I just wanted to try this, and it might not be the best technique, but this is how I tried, and here are my results."
Im self taught so this is the only way to learn. I also enjoy videos that explain and i search for them so i can learn new methods. Also i have a few bladesmith buddies that ive met through youtube that know much more than i do and i rely on them when im not sure of what im doing.
I was thinking the same thing.. also I really loved that handle so don't be afraid to try new stuff or even revisit things you think didn't work right in the passed. Keep up the good work bro
Most people might criticize their own work but you know special knives like this or off shaped knives like this are sometimes perfect for the right person.. if I had the money I'd scoop it up lol I'm still using pear knives from the dollar store
HAHAH "its not fully welded and thats fine because I dont know what im doing" Love this line. This is how we learn and grow by doing things we dont know how to do and figuring it out or at least trying. No one has that attitude anymore and just want some instant gratification. Keep it up!!
@JPsBladeworks beautiful knife! My only gripe would be when stacking the blocks for the final billet you turned one so if you could make the same knife with matching patterns on all 3 I'd buy that no doubt.
First time seeing a Jellyroll pattern and it's absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 with the way the colors came out too, the darker parts being thicker really looks amazing. Great job!
Honestly, I think this was a pretty solid success. And it is extremely rare that we manage to get what's in our heads to manifest perfectly on the anvil. There is always a certain amount of give and take, it seems.
JP, you may not like the final outcome, but it is nice from the jellyroll Damascus pattern to the maple handle. I like when during the fabrication, when you run into a roadblock, you admit that "you don't know". Don't see that in too many fabricators who upload content. Normally, I do not like voiceover content, but you seem to have nailed it. I like your thought process. Great job sir.
I like to experiment so a lot of processes i dont know or ive seen a few videos about it but you never learn the true headache behind certain builds until you try them for yourself.
It's great watching a Smith doing videos as they're learning and trying new things. That's my current level, as well. You're doing great work and being more informative than a whole ton of creators with much more experience. Thank you, my friend. I will be following for more content.
The fact that you got a finished blade and usable steel out of a jellyroll is an amazing feat. You should be proud. Jellyroll is one of if not the most difficult types of patterns to accomplish.
Love the realness of your naration and your humble aproach to knife making. The knife is artwork and it would shine in any kitchen dont bs yourself. Shes a beaut. Very good video. You got a bob ross video valium feel to your work.
Don't be too hard on yourself its a beautiful knife and very well thought out with how the jellyroll pattern fits the blade and the grain of the handle contrasts beautifully... I really like this peice its really bold and well patterned, I'm also pretty sure it cuts extremely well, most chef knives just have to be as thin as they are to cut, putting an edge on them makes them cut even better. Thanks for sharing
This is my first time seeing a jelly roll Damascus and now it's at the top of my favorite spot it has a unique appearance I will be watching more of your videos
I've been meaning to look for a video on jelly roll damascus and you've answered my prayers. I think it's a very nice knife! Whoever buys it is really lucky!
Hi there, I've been watching your work for a short time only but got to say, I'm impressed! I love your commentary as well, very easy to follow whilst watching the progress of your work...please keep making such greatknives, and great vids. 👍
Don't sell yourself short on this. You decided to try something you didn't know you'd be able to do, and guess what? You succeeded and the end result speaks highly of your skill. I reckon you should def try this again.
That knife actually looks very good I don’t always watch your knife videos but I watch quite a few of them and you seem to do things I always wonder why others don’t do in theirs, and even tho I’m not a blacksmith or a knife maker or anything I do appreciate you try things because you’re still learning stuff and you explain you’re trying stuff out and that you don’t know it all, just enough, but you’re working on it. I like the little details like the flats/rivets at the handle. I really like the contrast of the rolled steel pattern vs the straight lines in the handle grain. Normally I prefer the santoku style kitchen knives but I really do like this one for some reason even tho it’s a more French type chef knife shape. Also I like the little notch on the bottom of the heel, so it’s not just flat, gives it that little bit not needed, but looks better. I like how the handle doesn’t have any rivets. Which made me wonder I’ve seen many many many knives with no rivets and with rivets, but never ones with “wood rivets”(dowels maybe?) I think that would be a neat touch in the future. Or maybe a type of mosaic pin, but with wood added or just a small tube with wood inside - different or same as the rest of the handle?(again, not needed but a possibly a better look?). One thing I didn’t see in this video, don’t k own if you do it or not. If you’re going to have a non riveted handle, it’s a good idea to make little notches in the tang so there’s extra surface and basically epoxy teeth holding the blade in place. May be more difficult to fix in the event it does loosen or the epoxy breaks down, but it’ll be way less likely to fail in the first place. You could even just use the press and the rounded inserts and just leave an uneven not flat pattern at the tan, on purpose just for that.
I donr show it but i always notch the tang a little to give the epoxy some teeth to grab on to. Regardless ive never had one with only epoxy fail on me. Many people add a pin for extra security but i dont think thats nessecary for a kitchen knife that will never see tough usage.
I love the fact that you own up to your mistakes and talk about how you might improve. Way too many creators out there who just gloss over all of that or pretend that they're perfect.
Neat to see how your process has evolved over the last year! Would love to see you approach this pattern again with your upgraded shop and this first experience under your belt.
I have plans for trying it again. I have some steel that i prepped for making a sword last year that i never got to roll properly so i thinknim going to use that and attache it to a mosaic center and try to make something coll.
was a different type of video then i expected, but it was good, informative and i like how you dont seem afraid to have a mistake and explain the thought behind both it and your solution for it
Another awesome result, JP. I like the voice over, as I learn more when I can see AND hear what's happening. Also, although I think a lot of colored stabilized wood looks a little tacky, I really like the handle on this one. It has color yet looks natural.
Agree with all the others, fantastic work especially on a jelly roll and I love the voiceover as those are my favorite types of maker videos especially in smithing
The best way to learn anything is to make mistakes. Then don't do them again, if possable. Learning a new method is sometimes painstaking, sometimes pleasurable or combination of both. But still learning. Great job and beautiful ending with that knife. I believe I would be honored to have that in my collection if possible. No b/s either.
Awesome pattern. I do agree the shape of the blade and the handle are not perfect but I could see someone adding that to the collection as a petty knife for public events where we want to shine a little bit
Really enjoy your work. You mentioned a lack of tongs.I see future content and a right of passage as a blacksmith to forge their own. Maybe do a couple different weight hammers too. Keep the vids coming!
WOW The jelly roll is beautiful! I have never seen this before! I did enjoy the narration. I think the handle should have been more oval than round for better handling.
I definitely prefer full tang knives as well. I think they look better and also feel better in the hand. The pattern and the handle both came out awesome! I get what you mean about the oval verse the multi-surface handles too, totally agree
I really like the looks of the jellyroll Damascus! It's the first time I've seen this pattern done! The handle isn't ideal but overall it's a cool kitchen knife! 🤔👍
That's a super dope pattern! The only thing I'd suggest is to add a pin in the handle just as a backup to the epoxy. Maybe a black g10 pin so it kind of hides in the pattern of the handle material.
Nice man! I ain't seen too many knives with a pattern like that. Would have liked to see a different style or color of handle but hey man doesn't take away from that BLADE.
You need a much heavier base for your anvil it's moving every time you hit it. That means most of your energy is going into the base not the work. It helps if the base is flat and doesn't rock around
If its too heavy i cant move it out of the way when im not forging so for now it has to stay like that until i can rig up some wheel contraption for it.
That pattern is friggin wicked awesome!! Im not a huge fan of that handle material, but it does look great with that blade. Voiceover is ok, I kind of like to hear ya walk us through the process. I'm not a knife maker, jist a blade enthusiast. Seeing how these metals are made is awesome 👍
this is the first time I seen a jelly roll pattern and it's awesome! the way they are kinda jagged lines on the edges, but the surface is so smooth... it's such a contrast... and for it being the first time you did it, well it came out AMAZING!!! I can't wait to see you do this type again, especially now that you know what to expect and so you can plan ahead for it and have more control over the outcome..... I wonder if you made part of the roll get real thin and stretched out, then cut that part off... then take those small rolls and place them around the outside of the big roll..... and alternate the direction of the spirals ..... and in the end you'd have big spirals with smaller one melting into the outer band of the big spirals... just and idea :) GREAT WORK BRO!! (as ALWAYS) Keep it up!
New subscriber here 👍 Absolutely love this totally candid style, feeling your way in to an idea and turning up with something absolutely fantastic 🤩 You have a real feel for the steel 👍 I really like how the very traditional handle shape turned with one of my favourite modern wood flavours. The look of the knife as absolutely mad. Classic and Modern 😎
Looks cool. I recommend watching how royer does his mosaic blades. He doesn’t just do butt welds. He cuts them at an angles. Give you more surface area to weld plus a different angle to press them together at.
I appreciate a creator who doesn't hide behind editing.

Half the time its not welded it welds on the next stack. So far that has held true.

Thank you i appreciate it
Man that looks amazing. And you should be proud that you were able to pull this off first try by Hand without any special tools
My second attempt was a failure 😅 this was a test for making enough to make a sword and i couldnt get the other billet to roll up correctly 🙃
hydraulic press isnt a special tool? theyre like 3000 dollars lol
The fact that you got a finished blade and usable steel out of a jellyroll is an amazing feat. You should be proud. Jellyroll is one of if not the most difficult types of patterns to accomplish.
Yea its pretty difficult but i think i can one up it still
gorgeous! Love to see smiths make chef knives, I think they're my favorite.
I love making chef knives. Its a tool used everday
That is a great build and you should be very proud of yourself. Now box it up and send it my way!
Nah send it my way, Hahha! that thing is wiiild!
Stop guys theres only one knife 🤣
One knife so far...
@@JPsBladeworks I’ll arm wrestle for it.

A beautiful piece of work, no joke, I really like your stuff. We are sharing a touchmark that I have used for over 50 years,,, more power to you.

Very nice! I truly appreciate the effort and thought you put into your creations. Your videos are very relaxing to watch and listen to.

Wow, the pattern on the blade looks absolutely amazing. Well done really impressive
Thank you
Love the hammer work! The old way takes a lot longer but I believe it’s the work you put in that makes you better. GREAT job.
Thanks
That pattern looks very cool, we need more of those in future videos pls
I want to eventually incorporate it into a sword. I failed my first attempt at that already but ill get there eventually.
Don't sell yourself short on this. You decided to try something you didn't know you'd be able to do, and guess what? You succeeded and the end result speaks highly of your skill. I reckon you should def try this again.
I most definitely will
That knife is beautiful. If I trusted the internet I would buy it . I was wowed. Blessings
I dont blame you. I also dont trust the internet.

Regardless of having a jig, you have done a great job, and in all actuality, I'd prefer this method because you put your heart in it
I also put my back and arm into it 🤣
I love the fact that you own up to your mistakes and talk about how you might improve. Way too many creators out there who just gloss over all of that or pretend that they're perfect.
Nah im far from perfect 🤣
I'd be stoked if I could pull that off. Beautiful work . Someone will be happy to have that in their kitchen arsenal .
Im sure you can. If i can anyone can.
I admire your diligence in rolling the material. Looks good to me.
Thanks
Looks great. Like the handle burn through. I like seeing the tang all the way through, but the burn through is such a unique look
Agreed
Neat to see how your process has evolved over the last year! Would love to see you approach this pattern again with your upgraded shop and this first experience under your belt.

Another awesome result, JP. I like the voice over, as I learn more when I can see AND hear what's happening. Also, although I think a lot of colored stabilized wood looks a little tacky, I really like the handle on this one. It has color yet looks natural.
Ive been wanting to move to some more natural stabilized wood myself. Im starting to get over the dyed phase but some do look good regardless.
Hi 👋 bro?!!! Like I said, it's getting better and better than before. Bravo 👏 beautiful 😍 knife
Thank you i appreciate it
@@JPsBladeworks anytime buddy
Damascus patterns are amazing. Brilliant job!
Thank you
It's my first time seeing a jelly role forge and it was well worth watching to the end ! Great work blade Smith 👍
Thank you. It was my test run to make a sword. I failed at making enough for a sword on my second attempt 🙃
@JPsBladeworks there's a million way to get it wrong but only 1 to get it right ! Another words keep working at it !
@@edwardmoriarty1507 i definitely will
First of your videos I've watched, sure won't be the last. Awesome work. And knife looks stunning
Thank you I appreciate it
For a guy who 'doesn't know what he's doing", you do awesome work.
I have dabbled in the arts for 4 years now. My first year pieces were atrocious.
I think it came out beautiful! It’s definitely one of a kind and you should be proud of yourself because I am. Good job 👍🏻
Thank you
Very beautiful knife, for a first time jelly roll that came out amazing! Well done Sir
Thank you
You nailed it for your first time brother. Absolutely amazing work as usual 🔥
Thank you
JP you did a great job on the knife!! that jelly roll pattern looks amazing really pops with the instant coffee 👍👍✌ Mark
I love the coffee etch on most knives. The contrast makes its a completely different knife
Nice build! You had me worried when you first showed the jelly roll after the first forging session. 😉
Nothing a lot of flux and a little loving from the hydraulic press cant fix.
Agree with all the others, fantastic work especially on a jelly roll and I love the voiceover as those are my favorite types of maker videos especially in smithing
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Wow it's really cool. Totally inspiring for those of us who are just starting.

That's a wild pattern. I like it. Great job!
Really like the voice over here. Thanks for redoing this one too.
Thanks ill be redoing some as i go.
That's very cool. Thank you for your time....Also yes I do like the voice over.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
Very nice, impressive to get anything out of a jellyroll the first time you tried it.
Yeah i got lucky
Quite a striking piece.(no pun intended) I would happily have it on display in my kitchen.
Thanks. I appreciate that
Beauuuuuuuuutiful..
Id give it pride of place in my home any day.
Stunning work Sir 👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you
It’s beautiful. Nice narration as well.
Thank you
Great job! Wonderful craftsmanship all the way around!
Thank you
That pattern is so sick!!
Thanks
Interesting pattern. Definitely seems somewhat labor intensive. Love the voice-over.
It definitely was time consuming to get the roll done.
Oh wow I love that knife.
Hope I some time have enough money to get such a Damascus knife for my cooking hobby.
Glad you liked it

Agreed
Wow that’s amazing bro. Keep up the beautiful work. Should be very proud of yourself for as much as you second guessed yourself
Its a bad habit 😅
Love the look of the jelly roll!
Thanks. Me too
Really enjoy your work. You mentioned a lack of tongs.I see future content and a right of passage as a blacksmith to forge their own. Maybe do a couple different weight hammers too. Keep the vids coming!
Yea ive tried my hand and i suck at tong making. I think ill have to take somw classes from someone experienced in black smithing eventually.
I like the design and wouldn't mind trying it out in my kitchen. It looks like it would be comfortable in my hand.

WOW The jelly roll is beautiful! I have never seen this before! I did enjoy the narration. I think the handle should have been more oval than round for better handling.

Primera vez que veo un patrón así.! Felicitaciones 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
I like the voice over. A lot of knife videos out there could use it. Nice work!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
That's a super dope pattern! The only thing I'd suggest is to add a pin in the handle just as a backup to the epoxy. Maybe a black g10 pin so it kind of hides in the pattern of the handle material.
Ive never added pins to my hidden tangs and i havent had any issues so far
That's a good looking knife! For whatever reason the jelly roll pattern makes me think of Fred Flintstone and a knife he might use.
🤣
That’s stunning I’ve never seen Damascus like that
Thank you

I really like how the very traditional handle shape turned with one of my favourite modern wood flavours.
The look of the knife as absolutely mad. Classic and Modern 😎
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
I was worried a bit when you had so many gaps in the roll and then the uneven blocks, but I do have to say, that is a HANDSOME knife.
Sometimes, you just have to trust the process.
Nice work, the jelly roll is very effective.
Thanks
Looks cool. I recommend watching how royer does his mosaic blades. He doesn’t just do butt welds. He cuts them at an angles. Give you more surface area to weld plus a different angle to press them together at.
Yes when i did this one i didnt have a working bandsaw so i opted out for the butt weld. But i do tile welding now that i bought a new bandsaw.
