@@jeremywilkinson8617 yes sir you are absolutely correct! The only thing I really have a natural "talent" for is hard work! Everything for me has to be hard earned! Be blessed friend.🤝
Oh. My. Goodness. That is just stunning craftsmanship all around! I enjoyed watching your processes as well. I liked your use of the 123 block to hold the butt plate, and I also liked just how much you used your surface grinder for the overall build. Very clever and precise. Keep up the amazing work!
Great work, I thought I was going to find a huge back log of videos by you to binge watch, but only 2 videos so far, amazing work on both the knife and the video! Looking forward to more knife builds from you!
That is one beauiful knife! One of the best damascus designs I've ever seen! I also love how beautiful and simple the handle is. It blends perfectly as it doesn't take any attention away from the blade, only adding to complete the final look. You've got a great eye for this! The sheath is also a perfect match .
I'm not really a damascus guy, but wow, really nice. I really like how the flags came out not in your face but definitely flags. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
@jvbknives you keep making videos like this, and you'll have a second form of income in no time. Just looked up your nearest knife show you'll be attending but still a little too far for me to travel....sadly. I'm looking forward to your next video.
@@benwallace935thanks ever so much man! I will be updating the list of shows on my website with additional shows in the next few weeks or so! Hopefully we will meet someday!!
Fantastic work! I've been admiring Damascus steel for probably 50 years in books by men like Bill Moran. I have forged a few knives and horseshoes but never made any damascus. It's only in recent years with videos like yours and Kyle Royer that I've come to believe it's possible for me (on some level.) I think the Mosaic is probably my favorite but I also like the feather pattern a lot. One nitpicky thing: my wife is from Louisiana- where they have a lot of pecan trees and pies. She has made me learn to pronounce it, "pa-CON" rather than "PEE-can" :-) At any rate I appreciate you sharing your fantastic workmanship with us. This is the first time I've even heard of the flag pattern.
@jvbknives Wow... I've seen enough Royer vids and classes over the years to confidently tell you that, not only every process you do is identical, but all of his nuanced personal methods are as well! Even the wordage and manners you explain your methods are straight out of his tutorials bro!! Look, it's not a bad thing..But they are all by far, too particular to be coincidental. I'm sure if Kyle watches or has seen your vids, he'll chuckle and be flattered and not mind one bit! Bont don't insult my intelligence as if I'm some kind of mug bro! Knife is quality though!!
My English is not very good, but I watch your videos using subtitles and a translator. I want to learn how to make Damascus steel knives and I hope I will learn a lot from your videos. You are an excellent master!
HOLY COW!!! ONLY 10 DAYS?!?!?! - That is AMAZING!!!! This is the most detailed knife build I have ever seen! The attention to every little detail, and the precision of all the pieces is A+ TOP NOTCH #1 !!!! lol Seriously, I've never seen a build done so well! You have my sub Sir! ABSOLUTELY!!! I just found my new favorite knife channel!! :D
@@hayworth.handmade thank you sir! I do appreciate the kind words, and hopefully even through future videos you can have a peak into the way I make knives!
I feel like a year from now, you'll have a million subs, and be this huge name in blade smithing, and I'll be able to say "I was his 954th subscriber."
Wow gorgeous! This is my first time seeing your videos and this is one of the most satisfying, sexiest, boldest, deepest, and high contrasting designs i've ever seen on youtube. Great work boss! Have you ever thought about using different colored handles like deep blue and red i bet the contrast would look even more bold! Great video thanks for the hard work! Subscribed!
@@barry13100 oh yes I love using dyed woods! I was really excited to use this piece of Washington's Pecan tree, and felt this was an appropriate damascus pattern for this handle! I love dyed burls and curly maples, especially the deep blue and dark red! Thanks for the kind words sir!
@@jeremybynum175 thank you sir! This one will be available at my next knife show in Nashville, November 22-23 at the Nashville Custom Knife Show! If it comes home with me I will likely make a post on my Instagram page @jaccovandebruinhorst
This knife is stunning. My brother and recently went deer hunting. He was carrying my grandfather’s WWII Ka-bar knife. He shot a deer and gutted it and somehow dropped or just left the knife on the ground. Would you be willing to make a ka-bar in a Damascus style for a good price to go to a couple 20+ year veterans? DM me if this sound interesting.
I noticed you didn’t use any borax when you hammer the pieces together. I’m new to this so I was wondering how you get away with not using it. Thank you in advance.
Howdy! Borax is typically not needed if you have reasonably clean materials, that is, no visible pitting or excessive dirt or grime. Just get it hot enough and you're golden!! Please ask any questions and I will help where I can!
@@lorenzostheman hi Lorenzo, my website is www.jvbknives.ca However, I make so few knives a year that I really only sell my few pieces at knife shows.

Great job brother! Did you buy Kyle's teaching video(s) or just copy his techniques from the normal youtube videos? Either way awesome job, awesome video and amazing outcome on that blade!! I've watched ever video he put out multiple multiple times to pick up all his different traits he uses. I wish a lot of his older videos were still online they were so much more informative going step by step on every blade, I get why they aren't available anymore though, wouldn't be lucrative to have blade and beginner blade courses for purchase if those were available for free.
