I would love to enter but at the slow rate which I'm currently working on and finishing knives, I'd feel guilty for taking so long to finish it if I were to win, especially on a piece like that making sure to do it some justice. It'll definitely be fun to see what it transforms into.

You’re not just a knife maker…you’re a jeweler. Simply awesome!

Would be an honour to create something worthy of this knife! Something badass with both exotic materials and something that fits the fine feather pattern and the flow of the bad ass blade!

Very informative video. Thank you so much!

Hey TacDyne great question. The short answer no. There’s possible more cracks that cannot be seen. It’s too easy to start fresh again. There’s no shame in starting over, shame will come upon us if we knowingly don’t do our best. Glad you’re here hanging out with us my friend 👍🏻☕️🔥⚔️ Dad

When I was making knives in the 90s the only help I had was buying all of Bill Moran’s videos on vhs lol. I watched those video tapes at least 50 times each no exaggeration, I had many many blades that had a problem like a crack or bad grind, even wavy warps (when I started using 1095 and ground too thin before quench). I lived on the elk river WV, I bet there’s 50 blades in the river where I’d get mad and throw them in.

Man, steel's just one of those things, it's so close to being predictable, but since isn't quite a perfect substance it can still play tricks on ya. I'm glad to see you recovered nicely from that "little" setback, seemed relatively quick too. Loving the vids, thanks for sharing!

@@KyleRoyerKnives Hello brother, I am following you from Iraq

Is there another way to win it. It would an honor to finish that art of a knife with damascus guard and home stabalised olive wood. Also I would love to see In next video something with rose damascus pattern. Have a nice day.

Hypothetical question, would it be possible to produce damascus as a sheet? I know the tools and forges would need to be highly specialized to do it, but hypothetically, a billet could be formed into a sheet, right? My idea is that damascus has a ton of potential for bringing more character to various items. Vader's helmet, for example, the top part could easily be formed from a few pieces of sheet damascus, and the face piece could be a few pieces welded together. The only thing I can't figure out is how you could make weld seams have a clean look to them; maybe weld then grind the surface back to where it's damascus, but then the patterns might not line up properly. In theory it's a good concept, but in practice it'd probably be difficult to master. I also know etching would become more difficult, but would also become more akin to wood staining; wipe on, let it sit, wipe off. I'd love to test this out myself, but I don't have the money or the space to invest into a metal working shop, let alone making highly specialized equipment for an idea that may not work out.

@KyleRoyerKnives

Wow Xander I like the sheet idea in regards to forming sculptures. Ideally the seams would be placed in such a manner as to be an aesthetic complement to the work 😎 Dad

If I win does this count as a colab?

Hey Brandon great question. No. This can be one of those defining moments in life when we choose to just make it work and hope it comes out ok for the guy coming behind us , or drill a hole in the tang and hang the knife on the wall as a constant reminder of our challenges and victories , and start over til we get it right. There may be more fractures we can not see and the fractures are there for a reason. That reason usually will affect the knife in other areas as well. We believe the blade may be too brittle .

KyleRoyerKnives good point, I hadn’t taken in account that there may be more cracks. I usually find out if a knife has crack when I’m testing the blade before finishing. I’m really glad I came across your channel. Your precision, use of measurement tools, and attention to detail have caused me to seriously step up my game. No offense to other smiths out there but a lot of “eyeballing” and “guestimation” goes on and that’s not how I want to do things! Even if I never cross over into full time knife making I know I can slow down and pay more attention and come out with a knife I’m proud of.
