  • In this video I show how I forge weld a high carbon steel billet to make pattern welded Damascus steel to forge into a one of a kind fighting knife. Knifemaking also includes building the handle, and in this project I use some interesting materials to create neat finished weapon.

    Another beautiful creation Elijah. Whoever purchases this knife, I hope they display it, for others to appreciate.

    This knife reminds me of the story I once heard about a young bull, old bull, and a field full of heifers. Beautiful end result nonetheless.

    You are correct to call this knife a " fighting " knife ( Anyone would have to fight Me for it , if it was Mine ) !!!!

  • @zacharywilliams6499
    @zacharywilliams6499 Před rokem +1

    Just a tip…glue and compress your leather as a block before you assemble. An added bonus is being able to drill a tang slot/hole through the leather like you would any other hard material.

  • @christianborghi7544
    @christianborghi7544 Před rokem +2

    I’ve given up trying to glue leather while on the tang , now I glue up a stack and drill the stack just like if it was a wooden handle , I found it’s easy and less voids

    @davidtatro7457 Před rokem +1

    Lovely work. I just wanted to say that l am not usually a huge fan of brass, leather, or antler in handles, but the way you put them all together really ended up looking fantastic and compliments the blade very well.

    I appreciate your dedication to proving the hardiness and usefulness of your blades. I see you doing that chopping/shaving test in your videos and it definitely adds something where so many CZcamsrs create something that looks nice, but obviously will not stand up to any tests.

    Amazing Blade sir! That was a most enjoyable peek over your shoulder as you went through the process of this build, thanks for taking us along! Funny thing though; for some reason, and for just the briefest instant, no more than a whisper above the sounds of the shop, I thought that I caught the sound of a gentleman's voice over your other shoulder saying something along the lines of, 'hi I'm Bill, Bill Scagel, and I must say, that is one fine blade!', or maybe it was just the reverb from the Little Giant 50 Pounder . . . .🤔? Be well.

    If you regularly use sawmill blades, you should get yourself a beverly shears. It is by far the easiest way to cut thiner steel like bandsaw blades. You won't damage the blades on the beverly shears as long as you don't try cutting through the hardened tips of the teeth.

    You're very good at designing your own knife patterns but I was curious have you ever done a take on the Loveless subhilt fighter? I think that's probably one of the most beautiful blades I've ever seen.

  • @richardc8340
    @richardc8340 Před rokem +2

    For the leather stack, I recently tried drilling at hole at each end then using a wood chisel to make the two cuts connecting. It was much easier than a razor.

  • @Joe___R
    @Joe___R Před rokem +1

    In your future builds it is best practice to fully finish the guard before you install it. Trying to shape it after it is on the finished blade will only result in one of two things. You damage the finish on the blade or you can get a good finish on the top of thd guard.

    Deer handles are not my thing, and distressed brass, well I don't prefer that either. Thank you for showing me all the science that goes into the work that you do. It's mighty impressive when you come up with designs on the fly, you are very artistic. Now make an out the front switchblade that will go through a brick wall and not close. Then you would be the best in the world with steel.
