Forging a Damascus Steel Knife from Ball Bearings

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.

I have to be honest so many little nuances I noticed in here from being a general DIY guy, and having a family full of engineers and machinist raised my eyebrows. Last part got me where I thought he was going to go sort of symbol on the handle and then his true, efficiency of craftsmanship came out and made this knife absolutely stunning. Nice job dude, absolutely magic work! Hats off to you and you are a master soon as I hit Powerball you’re gonna get really busy.

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.

Dude, the twists on the Damascus was amazing. Clear twists in the final knife. Absolutely stunning brother, nice work

Can’t lie the angle grinder part gave me major anxiety

[George-tzcv]

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. 👍

Good to see all of the “ keyboard knife makers” showed up 😂😂

[budduggly]

In a world of "takers" and "makers"... you sir, are the latter and an inspiration to this old man.

I still instinctively close my eyes when I see a welding arc. Haven’t been welding in 20 years

[roberttresemer]

Absolutely beautiful job. I have never seen a knife maker polish Damascus before. Gorgeous knife.

[attananightshadow]

This isn’t a serious use knife. It’s art. That’s it and it looks cool.

3:40 im very surprised he still has his arm 😂

Twisting in the canister is interesting

[jcows]

You twisted the can into your billet? Was it mild steel?

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

[Irondrone]

Man, this is hard work even with modern equipment and tools. Imagine what ancient Greek blacksmiths had to do to make something like this!

[ericfischer]

Beautiful knife. It drives me nuts though, i get all excited seeing someone forge welding a canister by hand and then proceed to make a bar and CUT the shape of the knife. You obviously have talent, FORGE the shape!!

[BigWillSD]

Turned out nice. I really like the rustic look of the handle design

[DrMilzie]

Watching this guy makes my chest hair grow thicker

[KarlPHorse]

I’m a simple man. I see a guy hitting red hot metal with a hammer, I click.

[erazur]

Is it not an issue to twist that mild steel can into the steel that will ultimately be the blade?
