Hey guys! Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback. This is my dad's first time at filming in the shop. We had to pull him off of making knives to get some footage for our awesome KZread fans to keep the footage coming while Josh edits our upcoming new and awesome online Masters course on making a quality bowie. Give dad a shout out and let him know how he can improve and where he's doing great!

Hey guys, hope your all well. Just wondering why the vids are not happening so often now.

Kyle, you always do such a GREAT job of explaining each step. I do thank you for the education.

I'm a stock removal guy, but still love watching the whole process, maybe one day I'll get to try my hand at forging. Your videos definitely make it look interesting... Hope all is well, take it easy...

What knife do you have in your pocket. And please do a knife collection video

I learned something new about feather damascus: The radius of the hot cut tool affects the feather "swoopiness". Thank you! I've been looking for more info about how to work damascus patterns and it is those tid bits that I am missing.

You should do a test piece with a scrap of damascus and try walnut juice as a substitute for the instant coffee. I have no idea what chemistry makes the coffee magic work, but walnut juice is supposed to be some awesome stain for wood. Since coffee bean oil and walnut oil are probably similar it just might do something really interesting. You'll just need to rig up a walnut juicer on The Smash.

Hi Kyle, Thanks for the nice videos and for sharing your experience. When you first forged the initial billet did you made W patterns?

When you seal stuff up, there would still be oxygen in there. What if you put it in a small tub and filled it with argon, then welded it? I think there is also some hardenable steel welding rods now. I'm not sure if they would be used for anything other than putting edges on mild steel axes though.

Can you please explain what you mean by saying Borax is "hard" on the forge? Love the videos! Thank you!

@spanierjuan

4 жыл бұрын

It is pretty agressive to the bricks when it dripps down on them. You have to replace them pretty frequently. Schmiedeglut sells his forges with a thick cast iron elongated bowl, which can be slid in and out easily on the bricks to catch the borax and give a longer lifetime to the forge. The heat will oxidize away the cast Iron, but it is easyer to replace than the Bricks.

How is the damascus making process of the Japanese different from the process you do? I notices that the Japanese doesn't seem to make it a big deal if wether or not they seal up the metals to prevent oxidation due to air getting in. Thank you

Kyle, your my hero, so this isn’t a troll type question but, did you consider using a canister type situation to place your plates and then put some paper in the canister before you close it completely. If you decided against it, why? My question because I’ve seen others do it, and it seems smart, but you’re a master and I truly value your thoughts.

@KyleRoyerKnives

Good question my friend. We wrap all of our damascus in a so called ’can’. It’s a zero atmosphere weld. Never have used paper. Haven’t found a need to add anything to inside of billet. Our forge welds come out consistently ultra clean. Good to have you hanging out with us all my friend Dad

@bradymcphail9690

@@KyleRoyerKnives Hi Dad, the reason for the paper is to burn out all of the residual oxygen to make a zero atmosphere vessel. It might be a thought to investigate and test. It may mean less grinding the welds and less material loss and time loss. Which may not be a concern. I will never be at your level, but I am the biggest fan of your family’s work. I strive to be to your level one day...

Loving your videos and hate Borax as well but still dont understand why everyone uses MIG to weld up a billet, TIG is so much better, cleaner, quiet, no spatter or foreign low grade steel to clean out later if you just use fusion welds on all your seams, you use it later, why not at the beginning? I will never go back.

@@noahnipperus7320 It makes a mess in your forge, makes a mess of your forge lining, spits hot slag everywhere and I have found it far less reliable in terms of clean solid welds. Have not had a failure or inclusion since just sealing up the layers (cleaned and tightly clamped) with TIG fusion (no filler metal) so at worst you dont get full contrast in the etch at the welds where the metals blend a bit but you dont have to deal with non hardening mild steel removal at the grinding stage. .
