    I'm crafting a remarkable double-edged Bowie knife. I begin by creating a stunning blade using Damascus. You can see the meticulous process of forging the blade, welding tiles together, and ensuring a uniform pattern in the Damascus steel.
    I then hardened and tempered the blade to perfection. I meticulously grind and hand-sand the blade to 600 grit, revealing the breathtaking Damascus pattern. After a quick etch to showcase the pattern.
    Then, a big explosion occurs nearby due to a ruptured moisture collection system, sending thousands of tiny beads all over my workshop.
    Overall, it's an extraordinary journey, resulting in a truly unique and beautiful Bowie knife blade.

      Hey, when you're on the surface plate you can use a dial test indicator by gently sliding the zero's needle along the blade, it will show clearly if there is any warp, a Stand can be had on fb second has for like 20 bucks and a new dial test indicator from mitutoyo is about 40 bucks. Will guarantee you parallel, flat and consistent.

    The proof of a genuine proffesional craftsman is to pass on their knowledge and skills to others. They know that their knowledge and artistic skills is inpossible to copy. But it is an inspiration and push those who want to make a incredible knife.

    This unique man demonstrates the value ($), planning, skill, inovation, artistic illumination, control of all facets of "knife making" as well as a teacher. Notice he does not always have the latest equipment, however that is not the source of his success, he understands the medium. I never tire of watching his vids. I am so embarrased with my poor attempts at making pointy, sharp things..suitable for gardening..maybe.

    What an incredible blade. Thank you for sharing your processes with us. I always learn new things watching your videos. I started making knives in March of this year and every new knife is greatly improved over the last. My humble forge is a work in progress as I continue to tool up as resources allow. Power tools like power hammer, shop press and specialty ovens will come one day.

  • @txdrifter3177

    I'm glad no one was hurt, but for future reference, PVC is not recommended for compressed air systems. It typically can't handle the pressures and fragments when it blows.

  • @raven_of_zoso455
    @raven_of_zoso455 8 месяцев назад +6

    Kyle, it's less than two weeks since I discovered your amazing channel. It inspired me to up my own knifemaking within the limits of the tools I have. I even had a go at making a copper inlay onto a brass piece for my practice project (inspired by you). All I had was a small dremel, a homemade iron tool for hammering on, and copper sheath which I had to cut into wires. It actually turned out better than expected although the edges were not quite as crisp as on your inlays, but I got no visible gaps or anything. I also am (at this very moment I am writing this) in my shop doing the finishing touches after applying laqur. I do not forge my own blades yet, because I want to master making the rest first to a satisfying level. I often just buy big kitchen knifes at thrift stores and cut the blade into whatever shape I want, but without overheating or compromising the quality of the steel, but this is mostly for my smaller knifes like mushroom knifes and such. For bigger projects I buy blades from different blacksmiths around here in Scandinavia. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you have pushed another sucker down the rabbit-hole to perfection. Thanks, Kyle! Big respect to your skills both as a designer, craftsman and blacksmith, and all those pretty tools you have to play with. I like my ambitions to be near unreachable, and to me that's your stuff. It's nice to know I have a long way of improving myself and upgrading my tools to get anywhere near your level. Keep it up mate, and so to your Dad & co. 🫡✊️

  • @jemakrol
    @jemakrol 8 месяцев назад

    There's something so wholesome to watch your videos. In focus is, of course, mastery in progress. Converting materials to art. But it's so much more, from the little funny faces while grinding (it's easy to goof around on video I've noticed but you do it in a way that clearly stems from a frustration or something one can identify with. It's subtle) to the marbleous (sorry!) side stories. Not to mention context and reflection - like the story of the table or how you come to be a knife maker. And I do think the feeling of you guys being in this together as a family is quite important to the mix too.
    Looking forward to see the finished knife here, as usual! Keep up the good work guys! Love from Sweden, Europe

    Wow, even mastersmiths' blades warp during HT! I've had two 1/4" thick blades do this recently even though they were spine-down in my Evenheat and the bevels were even, and beat myself up because I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong. Beautiful mosaic!
