Episode 2 - • Grinding the Damascus ...
Thanks for watching episode 1 of the Bowie knife build. This was a first time for me to do a multi-bar twist Damascus pattern, I have done some twisted Damascus knives before but never at multi-bar twit so that was alot of fun.
Make sure to stay tuned for episode 2 where we will continue the build by profiling, beveling and heattreat this knife

This is an extraordinary knife that has been designed in such a way as to strive for pleasure

Great build so far! Why'd you use 1/2 inch bar stock on the sides when you forged welded the twisted bars together? If you couldn't get those off, that's a hell of a lot of grinding! Nice job though, it's looking great. I think you have enough steel for 2 or 3 knives in that blade!

Thanks
I used a thick bar stock because I was afraid that the not so wide billet would kinda collapse since my press is not pressing 100 % Straight at the moment.
Unless you press on the side of the billet under welding heat you can ALWAYS get the bar stock of.
Since it’s a twisted pattern the pattern will look better when you grind into it. That’s why I left it a bit thick and also because I didn’t want to stretch out etch rotation in the pattern which will make it less interesting.

Well, I be would never say “always” 😜. Great job so far. I’ve done this build for a chef knife before and it’s beautiful.

Looking good so far!! So did wasting that plate steel worth it so far?? Or will you just use borax next time??
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@gentilknives8907]

Thansk.
I Think it is worth it. Even though it takes a bit more time the chance of failure is lowered by a lot, so yes I think I will be using it in the future
