Nothing says hard working man more than the shop made band-aid.

I retired after 38 years in automotive paint and body. Respiratory protection has always been the forefront of safety for me. I'm impressed to to see that you are safety conscious. Protecting your lungs is vital to a healthy and long life.

I have to be honest, I did not expect that pattern. I figured 52100 with 52100 balls would not show much pattern but the powder with the 15n20 brought out a great pattern. Great job as usual.

It’s such a treat to see a YouTuber that actually forges their blade and doesn’t just cut out the entire shape or sit at the grinder all day

Using the bladeless hacksaw as a way to settle your powdered metal is so creative and effective! Definitely stealing that idea!

Excellent, as much as I wanted to see the finished product I couldn't bring myself to scroll ahead to the end, I was too captivated to follow the whole process from start to finish.
I am suitably impressed.

With twisting the material, the beautiful pattern that you created was not what I was expecting. Absolutely stunning.

I have no idea how I got into watching these forging videos but I'm super glad that I did because this is awesome!

[simulatorman]

I am a novice welder and I never realized you could hold the rod and weld like that. Thank you for showing me that. I believe I will improve now.

AMAZING PATTERN ON THAT BLADE MAN! TRULY STUNNING! THE JEWEL WAS THE HANDLE, A PIECE OF AMAZING CRAFTMANSHIP MARRIED TO NATURES BEAUTY!

[ericcartrette]

Wow! The first thought that popped into my mind when I saw the pattern was a fosilized mammoth molar. It looks great!

[obaidashafai]

hi there, your comments and explanations have always been a part that i enjoyed in your videos, i miss that in this one 😐

[jamesh]

Yes! The canister Damascus forgings are my favorite to watch and the patterns are amazing.

[TheWind]

You have created a very stunning knife, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create a unique blade, Thanks.

[stephenjohnson]

As many others had said the pattern wasn't even close to what I had envisioned. It turned it epic and beautiful as usual. I get a black tiger vibe myself. Thanks again for taking us along!

I became addicted to the ability of creation that my hands are capable of, thank you for posting your content, I really dig it when I see others this way. All of this, not just knives, simple lost arts. Anyone that creates anything with raw material, worthy in my book. Beautiful knife. Seems like a pretty badass shop also there buddy! I just build or acquire a kiln. Absolutely.
In a crazy world spinning out of control, hold onto your roots. We will be invaluably necessary.

[the_fafologist]

Of all the bearing combos you have done, this one is far the best. I am a HUGE fan of twisted Damascus. Cant seem to do it right myself but those who do it well such as yourself make it look so easy. I hate you for that lmao. Amazing pattern.

Whenever I see these types of videos, or anything that people make from scratch, weather forging, lathing, carpentry; it makes me envious, respectfully of course. I wish I had the time money and space to do these things.
