Forging a Damascus Steel Knife from Ball Bearings
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Watch as a master blacksmith transforms ordinary ball bearings into a stunning Damascus steel knife. Starting with heating the bearings in a forge, he hammers them into shape with precision and skill. The highlight of the process is when he twists the glowing hot metal to create the intricate and beautiful patterns characteristic of Damascus steel. Witness the artistry and craftsmanship involved in turning raw materials into a functional and visually captivating blade.

This guy makes incredible works of art...and doesn't ramble on and on about it. In fact he doesn't even talk. My type of content creator. You earned yourself a subscription.
Absolutely beautiful job. I have never seen a knife maker polish Damascus before. Gorgeous knife.
Love the pattern. Great knife. Once again excellent work with the angle grinder. This was however, the first time I’d ever seen the can left on to become part of the pattern. 👍
A true artist and craftsman!!
Turned out nice. I really like the rustic look of the handle design

i hope it was high carbon steel too.
Потрясающий нож😍🔥
I still instinctively close my eyes when I see a welding arc. Haven’t been welding in 20 years
Canister Damascus by hand. Impressive!! Excellent looking blade as well!!
I enjoyed watching you work, you are truly an extraordinary craftsman, excellent work. Please wear a mask as well when grinding, breathing all that dust can’t be healthy
In a world of "takers" and "makers"... you sir, are the latter and an inspiration to this old man.
MAGNIFIQUE !!!
Шикарный клинок 👍👍👍👍
A wonderful piece of art, thanks for your time and effort master 👍
The trick with the bottle was awesome!
Настоящий мастер 😮😮
I can feel sparks landing in my beard when I watch your videos.....
Beauty is one thing, but you twisted with the can still on. you have Mild Steel going through the cutting edge.

Artist. Beautiful job.
Beautiful! Thanx for sharing your process!!! ✌️😎👍
Very nice. Like the pattern on the blade.
Incredible craftsmanship
Всевышний дал ВАМ замечательные руки.Мир ВАМ и вашей семье.
lovely knife. absolutely lovely.
Outstanding! 🫡👍🏻
Beautiful
Wonderful craftsmanship. Would have like to see the blade stained in coffee. Cheers.
Usually one removes the canister before twisting their stock. Now you have a low carbon steel in the edge.
Muito bonita e boa. 👏🏾
Is it not an issue to twist that mild steel can into the steel that will ultimately be the blade?
Fantastico bellissimo 🎉
Yes Sir!
Beautiful work,,
Molto eleganti i disegni sulla lama, e molto stilosa l'impugnatura ! E mi piacerebbe anche sapere in quanti conducete il canale, e se avete diverse officine. Grazie, buon lavoro !!!
I didn’t see you peel the can of the blade. Did you miss filming a step or did you incorporate the can?
Cantik lawa... Luar biasa... 👍Apa ..
AWESOME
That's what makes a difference between a master and just making jt
Nice work!
very enjoyable!
Amazing ❤
Awesome! Nice job dude.
You twisted the can into your billet? Was it mild steel?
If the canister is mild steel and then just twist into the piece to make the billet, then you have a crappy mix of high and low carbon metals mixed into the knife. This is an edge hardness/retention issue. Also, no mechanical fixation for the blade to the handle, ouch. Looks nice, construction methods semi iffy. :)

I thought the whole purpose of forge welding was to have brittle hard steel mixed with pliable soft steel to get the best of both worlds?

@@robmanueb. you wont have mild steel at the edge, when you work with your knife. pins would be also nice, but who knows. i wish i had a place to forged.
@Dan_d00d

@@robmanueb. yes and no. the key thing is that you need high carbon and suitable steel in the areas that must have strength and hardness (but will have more brittle matrices at molecular level, and less shock absorbing capacity ) and also needing something that is durable and more absorbent, with mild / low carbon steel. So the real situation is about how much and where it is, and in what array/layer/position relating to each other and in terms of the FUNCTION of the tool / use of an item. so in a knife, you want the hard stuff on the cutting edge, and the mild ('soft') stuff behind, on the spine. If you had both along the cutting side and where it strikes, that will mean things like loss of sharpness, edge retention, warps/burrs are going to be issues. Hope this helps. Tons to read and watch about it all out there.

@@Dan_d00d Yeah I have watched a ton of them. I know that some smiths will really consider and plan their welds, others like this just go for a pattern that looks nice. TBH I think most of the forge weld blades we see are not totally practical and a stronger blade could be had by just using one good steel.
Wonderful work 👍👍
Wow !
Прекрасный нож!!! 👍👍👍
Its sad to see so much effort but then cutting the knife into shape instead of forging it and for such a thick blade I would recommend not only gluing the handle.
Love it! Quick question, why not forge the tang instead of cutting it?
Very Impressive. I love the Damascus patterns in that knife. Well done, very beautiful knife.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blacksmith on KZread with a battery drill 😅

Wow that is just absolutely beautiful . I ❤ a well done damascus knive . I have a feather pattern set for my kitchen. They came with scissors for king crabs and lobsters . And also a sushi nakiri knive .and also serrated and the rest are for fillets and carving and doing veg . Also came with a steel . Which i have 5 already and one which bought whilst working at the slaughterhouse . Its a bad ass steel . And i also have a smooth steel for very fine edge . And i invested in a set of whetstones . My kitchen knifes are so sharp and will give you a clean shave if you needed too 😂😂😂😂 . But top job on the twisted knife 😮
Зачем столько отходов? Можно было сразу ручку выковать вместо того, чтобы отрезать столько металла
beauty i only have 1 problem with it and its that it isent pinned i could never trust it for hard use still i like it
Show 👍👏👏👏

Great, finally a nice piece of wood for a beautiful blade. Personally, I miss the nice mosaic thread there, I'm not a fan of fixing it purely with epoxy. I was waiting for the pattern to appear after etching, when you left the canister in the blade.
Piękny wzór damastu chyba najładniejszy jaki widziałem do tej pory na you tube! Gratulacje
That bottle of pop must have really ticked him off.
Twisting ball bearings with the can on is brave!
Drill shavings instead of steel powder. Niche!
Can’t lie the angle grinder part gave me major anxiety
👍👍👍👍👍
Oh I see, its a show knife as it's not very hard as a functional knife would need to be. There wasn't the usual HRC40-HRC65 hardness file test to determine the hardness of the knife. :)

Not really forging when you cut blade shape but end result looks great.

This is such a shit knife. Bad forge, not even proper full tang
Sweet video. Please wear eye protection and keep the guards on your angle grinders though! An exploding disc can literally kill you.
Forging a shape of a blade is forging and grinding the shape of a blade are two different things 🤷🏻♂️ still nice blade
Dude protect your eyes!
Good for vegetables cutting
Enjoyed the professional clearing instead of slow motion close up shots of a vacuum cleaner 10:30 Oh and nice tshirt
Definitely nice knife!! Just not the right edge geometry for a bottle slice😊

Do you make your own steel powder? It looks like really small chips, not like the really fine powder from the metal suppliers.
Can you make of keys 🔑 🔑 🔑 different key 🔑? That will be great.
I'm confused I've seen other blacksmiths hammer the piece metal into the shap of the knife but he cuts that piece of metal into the shap of a knife so which is better
Is twisting the equivalent of folding when making a sword? What does twisting do? I know nothing about this and was curious.

Beautiful work. What camera are you using??
Looking at the comments I guess I’m the only one who was underwhelmed by the finished product. Nice video nonetheless. 👍🏼
what is the purpose of fileing the top of the blade, is it just for looks or does it serve for something?
This Damascus stuff lost its 15 minutes of fame 10 yrs ago. Now its as common as opening up a can of Pepsi. But you do have excellent skills and should keep up the great work you do.
What are dunking the blade in after the quench at 6:02? Thanks for posting!
Whats the point of the serration on top of the blade?
