Doing this without adding powdered steel to the canister must have been a heck of a challenge! I didn't expect it would work as well as it obviously did, congratulations in a super build!
It seems to me the key to getting it to work as well as it did was to allow the canister to forge weld to the exteriors of the ball bearing billet. Putting Ti02 inside the can would have prevented it from adhering to the canister and made the task of welding the balls together without filler material a wonky mess.
@brink666 my thoughts exactly and came to say the same exact thing. You can not get that pattern weld without 2 different types of metals so there is no way in this world he made the pattern look like that without a 2nd type of metal which the one he had forged out looked good so why fake the ending have no idea. Also I was shocked to see the first pass on the can he sqeezed down from the top really hard to where it almost blew it out and never seen that one before but good on him if it worked just wonder where he got the metal to make the blade bc I seen cpl patterns like that before on here by other smith's so wonder if he bought a bar for stock removal lol
@HansKnives it's not ignorance you literally can't make a Damascus design with only 1 type of metal. If they are Nickle or whatever its still 1 type of steel and it would weld as a solid bar regardless of what ignorance your referring to it can not it will not ever work without a 2nd type of steel/ metal ro separate the bearings. Seen this pattern at least 5 times on here and every single one but him used powdered steel and never one time did they ever squeeze it that hard from the top and tell you you can't do that but hey it's others ignorance right for calling out a fake video. He made a nice bar to begin with so why try and make ppl belive he actually made that steel
I’m gonna try this. I wanna resaw the billet into thirds, then twist & book match the middle section, and restack them. I think it’d be cool to have a variation between the pattern of the blade and the tang. This video got my creative juices flowing, thanks!
This is the first time I have seen a blacksmith cut the canister off. Usually I see people paint the can inside white or use another sacrificial material that will not weld. I now wonder about the pros and cons to each approch.
Because the container is too long and is directly detached from the container, poor welding will occur because there are only steel balls in the container. My approach was more cumbersome. Each has its pros and cons, and there are different choices available in different situations.
@@HansKnives If you have access to a mill, this is the only way to do it! Grinding and/or cutting the can off is always a pain. @danielstellmon5330 Since there’s no powdered steel filling in the gaps, you’ve really gotta compress this all the way through or you’ll have nasty inclusions through the middle of the billet. Forge welding the can to the BBs is the only way I can see this working without powdered steel, so a sacrificial layer in between would be counterproductive.
Shurap has done this. This is my favorite pattern on knives. Genius that you used the mill to remove the canister. I wish I owned a press I would make my own. Excellent work!
@@HansKnives Would you consider making a video showing the press and what you learned from doing it? Or if you followed a guide or schematic, could you point us to the right direction? I've been collecting a bunch of blueprints for it and weighing pros and cons of different designs - yours looks very well thought out!
I'm Syrian and one of the things Damascus used to be famous for is it's very unique knives So honor to me to see someone abroad making such knives ❤ Damascus is the capital of Syria BTW
@ichbinmartin HaHaHa so funny, I didn't know my city is so famous ,so It's unnecessary piece of information. if you are so upset I can delete it for you honey 😆
@@aboudkalish It was joke and I am happy that you are typican syrian man with sense for jokes. I was in Syria in 2010, of course also in Damascus (and other cities). Beautiful city!
The arra around Syria was famous for its wootz damascus. It's a far more impressive process than what you see here, it was a far better metal than anything else of its time. It's an entirely different process, look it up. Attempts to recreate the original process is getting a bigger following every year. The original method is lost to time. This is just pattern welded steel using plated high carbon steel bearings....
A beautiful blade! The final coffee etch truly sets off the Damascus pattern. (Bonus points for rocking the Toy Machine sticker on the bandsaw!) Keep doing what you do 👍‼️
7 previous attempts, finally a win I'm guessing it was worth all the f ups before, to get this extremely good looking blade , much respect, is it for sale,
When I saw you start without adding powder to the cannister, I feared the worst! But you got that thing really hot and properly crushed it! Great great work! Sorry for doubting you! Lol
Great video. I would love a little more information within each step in regards to the equipment and material you use to help create this beauty. Thanks for sharing
Now I’m curious if you added some larger steel balls and filled the areas in between them with smaller different steal and then poured a third powdered steal into the cracks? Damascus makes me just want to try random combinations and see if it comes out pretty.
I read a few comments saying the video is faked. There are two metals being used here, the high carbon steel bearings and either a chromium or nickel plating on the outside. Using a powdered filler metal would rdamascus look and point if this.
great canister Damascus steel...I would make something less lethal and ninja like because the metal came out so well. No powdered iron or steel and outstanding patterns.
I'm guessing the pattern comes from the coating on the ball bearings? I'd guess nickel is in there to prevent corrosion, which could help account for the shine.

The guys got a mill, no challenge at all
Wow the patternation on this was amazing, simply stunning work.
One of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen for sure.
Thank you very much. ♥️

My new favorite pattern I didn't know about!! I would love a wood axe and maul with this pattern 😍
Hands down one of THE MOST beautiful knifes I've seen on youtube so far, ngl. AMAZING job! Congrats man, keep it up!
That's a Lady.
@@kyrerymmukk7446 nope

Wenn das Damaszenerstahl ist, bin ich Hārūn ar-Raschīd ...
I know nothing about making knives other than forged in fire but this is very cool
Beautiful job! Masterclass handcrafting!
It's such a genius idea to bump it up on the ends to keep the length compressed! Beautiful work!
This guy has the most expensive “blacksmith” shop I’ve ever seen. Even more equipped than some pro machine shops I’ve been in.
Love the cat in the background 😭 13:57
😯
And this is why good knives are expensive
@@sebarozt 🈹㊙️🉐🈵㊗️🈯
The final product is just perfect!
Also the silent press is much more civilized that a pounding hammer. Love it
Awesome! Wonder how the pattern would have turned out if you'd have shaken the balls in graphite powder beforehand.
I loved how it turned out in the end but idk if someone saw the amount of power to made this single knife it’s just A LOT
That was probably the best steel pattern I've ever seen. Outstanding work, mate :)
Nice welding skills. The MIG weld isn’t perfect but too many times knife forgers have ugly welds that don’t hold and this creates problems later.
I have nothing to add except this is one of the most stunning knives I’ve ever seen. It is profoundly beautiful. You did an amazing job on it.
What an absolutely stunning weapon

i dont even have a pocket knife or any knives besides the kitchen but I found this so satisfying and cool to watch.
Great video. I would love a little more information within each step in regards to the equipment and material you use to help create this beauty. Thanks for sharing
Dope AF results, @HansKnives! This would make an ideal boot knife with an equally dope sheath to complete the package!
Beautiful. I love the pattern
Amazing. I love it. It's a very beautiful knife. ~Kevin
So many tools and machines... Really professional
Well done crafting that knife!
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! 😍⭐️💫👌🏻
Tireless craftmanship, thanks for sharing.
That’s the coolest knife I’ve ever seen
I know it's probably not its purpose but it looks like a beautiful thrower with ring for spinning on your finger. great knife
Oddly satisfying watching metal work
Wow. That’s a beautiful knife! Fantastic work. The pattern is unreal. Subscribed
Capo!!!..Maestro!!..EXCELENTE tu trabajo y dedicación sigue así saludos desde Argentina Corrientes 👍🏻👏👏👏💪🇦🇷
I like to make Damascus steel. But it's a really good one. I watched it up to the end.
it is very pretty, but not damascus. it's pattern welded.
Thanks for explaining @@louiscyfer6944
Craftsman at work! Awesomeness!
Omg this knife is a real beauty
It's a really cool effect and an amazing knife!
😯
Uma excelente tarefa, um excelente profissional.
Beautiful knife mister beautifully made good job
Whats a beautiful Damascus. Realy nice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wow. What an ending. Beautiful.
I LOVE that OG Toy Machine sticker on your band saw!
😯
Now I’m curious if you added some larger steel balls and filled the areas in between them with smaller different steal and then poured a third powdered steal into the cracks?
Damascus makes me just want to try random combinations and see if it comes out pretty.
real life cs?
one of thee best counter strike knifes
Gorgeous finish!
Absolutely beautiful result
🔥😎🤘🏼
Beautiful knife,amazing pattern
WoW Amazing work, can't believe that nice work !!
What a stunning blade!
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! ️
I'm a newbee in this, but very nice result. I'm curious to know how many hours it takes to reach this final result?
I was glad to see that you chamfered the end cap. 👍🏼
Also, milling the billet is so much easier than grinding it off like so many do!
Absolutamente fantástico o trabalho
صنعت تحفة فنية 😁
¡excelente patrón! extremadamente prolijo, rectificado, perfecto... 😉👍
❤ Muito interessante 🎉
Wow! The knife has a longer name than I do!
I read a few comments saying the video is faked. There are two metals being used here, the high carbon steel bearings and either a chromium or nickel plating on the outside. Using a powdered filler metal would rdamascus look and point if this.
your press is shockingly soothing to listen to haha...
Taking a lot of work, but produces an impressive quality knife.
Simply BEAUTIFUL!!! 🔪 👍🏾
Tão lindo
Da uma vontade de passar a fazer também 😮
Tem parece que o processo é demorado
You sir are a true artist.
Came out beautiful!
A thing of beauty.
Real life Kunai! Amazing skill!
great canister Damascus steel...I would make something less lethal and ninja like because the metal came out so well. No powdered iron or steel and outstanding patterns.
ı've never seen like that knife İTS BEATİFULLLLL
Beautiful knife!! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
Love this voronoi pattern ❤
You are doing a GREAT JOB man. AWESOME !!!
This is beautiful. We’ll done.
Muito bom video sempre tive curiosidade de saber como é fazer uma espada ou adaga, gostei muito, obrigado.❤
Amazing free hand grinding 👍👍👍
excellent work 👌
Hi, great job, I applaud your skill and thank you for the video and I want to ask you to kindly take a review of your grinder
What was the yellow brown liquid at thr end? Please ad comments during the process. You got me at those fine welding and subscribed.
Amazing bro amazing 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What was the second metal he used to make this into a damascus billet/knife?
The bearings were steel, but what metal created the highlights?
A very well crafted knife ….i like it very much …..Alex🇬🇷
I love how everything was precise then he picked up the marker... 😅
Question: at around the 12:20 mark, you’ve got the blade somehow secured flat as the grinding wheel goes over it. What IS that?
Gorgeous knife
12:46 - CAT. Why would you have a cat but not show them!? you monster!
14:09 - Kitty! 🐱.... also damn nice damascus.
came for this comment lol
I'm guessing the pattern comes from the coating on the ball bearings? I'd guess nickel is in there to prevent corrosion, which could help account for the shine.
you are right
He used steel powder to fill in the space like everyone else. He's a fake.
Good job, love the work
Thats pretty cool man
pretty frickin sick dude
Perfect pattern 🎉
