When he's grinding the blade down you can see the insane callouses on his finger tips. And by the speed he turns and hammers at you can tell he's been doing this for a good long while.

Yeah bud when I used to work in a plastic container factory, for things such as bottle bins/skips, grit boxes etc, when they first come out of the mold from being melted and cooled. I could barely touch them for a few seconds but after a few months the hands become accustomed to it. Not that you probably didn't know that just saying it incase some people didn't know. Wonderful looking damascus.

There is much more skill/finesse/knowledge going on here than you would think. It's like watching masters doing whatever they are masters at, they make it look easier than it is. He would still be able to forge a fantastic knife with a barebones setup, it would just be more labor/time intensive.

If you twist a rubber bar, it will flip back. There is a same force in the twisted steel bar. He needs to release the force so that the final piece won't break easily. The tuning fork is to check out if the metal structure is released enough. Sorry for my english

There is a guy in Florida that has begun making true damascus steel. He mined iron ore from one of the local mines where original damascus came from and made his own steel from it and then did the forging. The stuff most people are doing these days is damascus pattern forging/welding.

@@marikasdaughter6263 ---- And mass marketing lives on. The video on Wootz Damascus steel is interesting. With all the technology available today in powdered steels it seems is should be possible to come up with something better than the original mines had, but still, I see a lot of videos using things like rice straw and some kind of pine charcoal, a sprinkling of laurel leaves or whatever. Were they smarter? I think Mathematics came from the Middle East at some point in history, but today that area is like, um, "not exactly". What is the mastery of thought? A man can forge steel, but not thought?
