As someone who wants to become a smith in the future, and as someone who loves working with copper (favorite metal) I will happily help this vid get more attention.
The billet setup is awesome.. I like the look but I’m really resistant to the milling in the bevels lol! I guess the end result is the only thing that matters 😂👍🏻👍🏻
this is awesome, haven't seen anyone on the tube make a Damascus with copper and 2 types of steel, the pattern is quite unique and very pleasing. but have you ever tried Wootz/crucible steel in a billet before or would that be impossible to forge-weld?
Looks nice . Why is it called Damascus? Do not even see where this could be called pattern welded steel as in contains layers of copper. Maybe there needs to be a new designation. Or could plywood be considered Damascus because it is made in layers?
Copper melting point is 1084.62 °C, iron is 1538 °C, so at the temperature you forge is warm forging, 750-950 °C. The very issue is, copper becomes darker and harder at this temperature...not sure if it changes volume.
I want to say first this is a great subject and you did a really nice job making this knife. I would encourage you to pick up the pace a little in the flow of the video, the first 5 mins were a little tough to watch. Overall, nice job.
This looks amazing. I'm puzzled tho.. When u stack for welding process, do u then flip it so layers facing up n flatten from that end to see the waves of copper, or just stretch from how stacked. Sry if don't make sense
There is 0 knife forging here... you forged a billet then a machine did all the hard part for you... great product but dont fool yourself about the "knife forging"
@@hacondn1748 I was looking for this comment in here. He didn't forge a knife. He machined one. It looks pretty cool. But he didn't forge anything past the billet
That acid dip though 🥹 looks futuristic, computer chip style, just amazing
This is beautiful
Blown away with how the end product came out. Absolutely awesome.

Pretty impressed that you mill your bevels.
Dude that turned out fabulous man!
Thanks brother
Looks great so far Rob.
Thanks
Super cool piece of steel! Love the Damascus and how the copper comes through on the fullers. Excellent 👌
Impressive work!
Awesome blade
Its so beautiful
This was a really great video.
I'm reminded of the George Sawyer Mokume Gane rings we used to sell.
Bloody stunning work...

How did you forge weld the two pieces of 1095 in the center without melting the copper?
Great looking knife. Copper gets a little to close to the edge for my liking but it looks fantastic.
how much would you charge for a viking single sided axe head?
Email me for pricing thanks

William henry won't be happy....😀

Please tell me how i can get one!
Can I weld this up with a tack welder from harbor freight. I don't know how to weld
it may be hard to do it with a tack welder I but never tried it

Thanks for the feedback it’s much appreciated I’m trying to get better at my videos
Am I right when i see that you don't seem to remove the scales?
can you make a Mokume Gane Damascus knife, is it possible
This looks amazing. I'm puzzled tho.. When u stack for welding process, do u then flip it so layers facing up n flatten from that end to see the waves of copper, or just stretch from how stacked. Sry if don't make sense
I just stretch flat or how there stacked thanks
Nice looking piece but felt I was cheated out of the actual “making” of the knife.
I feel like "CNC cut damascus billet" would be more accurate
Ya a little misleading and inaccurate. I literally look for forging and smelting I like seeing that whole process. Still a nice knife.
thats wat damascus
that wat da point of damascus
Amigo: tu hablas demasiado.... Estos vídeos son para VER.....y aprender de esa manera....

Someone who's even more of a purist than you might say he didn't even forge the billet because he used a power hammer lol
@@RamoArt very true
Someone's butt hurt, 😆
