      You're wrist is all messed up! Sorry to see that. It took almost two years for me to be able use a hammer. When I screwed my right hand up. I was actually afraid it would be like that for the rest of my life.

    • @nanangabuhasan
      @nanangabuhasan Před 2 lety

      surap?

  • @beezo2560
    @beezo2560 Před 2 lety +39

    Wow. The pattern Damascus is possibly the best you've ever done. The coffee made it pop. The guard and handle design and integration is also next level. You pushed your boundaries on this one and ended up surpassing yourself. Well done. The physical and mental effort put into this shows in the work.

  • @BlackBeardProjects
    @BlackBeardProjects Před 2 lety +13

    Well, nothing to say here. Just your usual top work! Mosaic is awesome, impressive big hollow grind and I love the guard and handle shape with the center ridge that fades off.. Stunning work my friend. Only the best!

    • @GreenBeetle
      @GreenBeetle  Před 2 lety +2

      🙏 I liked your full build with that flat grind on a wide blade, I bet its a mean slicer.

  • @McGowanForge
    @McGowanForge Před 2 lety +26

    I was surprised not hearing Steve's knife nerd explaining how he's going to make the Damascus

  • @Aleeknives
    @Aleeknives Před 2 lety +21

    I absolutely love that handle and how you kept the strong line through the guard into the handle! A+

  • @jeffglover7854
    @jeffglover7854 Před 7 dny

    Wow, that Damascus pattern is unbelievably fantastic. Great work.

  • @Nanoaiello
    @Nanoaiello Před 2 lety +6

    the pattern is amazing , i would've love to see the entire build , instead of just the forging , overall amazing work!

  • @mrsimpson2022
    @mrsimpson2022 Před 2 lety +1

    props to you for making your own Damascus and actually using an anvil. Nothing against the other guys (stock removal) but I appreciate your craftsmanship. you got a winner !

  • @LXWiseman
    @LXWiseman Před 2 lety +1

    Canister forging, ferry flip, and a handsome blade at the end? What a knife!

  • @kennycampbelljr5896
    @kennycampbelljr5896 Před 2 lety +2

    That is one of the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen. This is the first challenge video I've watched in this challenge. Looks like everyone else better bring their A-Game. Good luck!

  • @tlemon1950
    @tlemon1950 Před 2 lety

    Awesome work, incredible pattern, and thank you for not demonstrating the sharpness, I've seen enough paper maimed. Your sharing your skills is seriously appreciated, thank you.

  • @ncsaddlehunter77

    Another absolutely beautiful work of art.

  • @rebelyell1970
    @rebelyell1970 Před 2 lety +1

    Man you killed it. The damascus pattern is beautiful, but the contouring on the guard and handle is amazing. I'm not sure many people understand just how difficult that is. You stole my vote from Tyrell. Well done brother!

  • @Zentron
    @Zentron Před 2 lety

    Whoa, way trippy man!! Fantastic end piece, it's always great to see the process that goes into making these pattern welded steel blades! Top notch stuff!

  • @rorydonaldson2794
    @rorydonaldson2794 Před 2 lety

    What a beast of a knife, the pattern came out superb, the coffee gave it that special pop. I really like the thick guard and handle, it's nice to see a knife with a proper meaty handle. Nice work

  • @18deadmonkeys
    @18deadmonkeys Před 2 lety

  • @offcenterforge1098
    @offcenterforge1098 Před 2 lety

    Nothing against the other makers, I really thought this knife should have been second. I don't think people realize the amount of effort and skill it takes to make mosaic damascus. Keep up the good work your page is one of the first pages I found when I started two years ago. Thanks Again for all of your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Just my opinion.

  • @DanGolag
    @DanGolag Před 2 lety

    I voted for you. I thought your build was among the nicest, if a little behind Tyrell's, but I also think you really pushed yourself to get this awesome result. I don't remember you making a mosaic before.

    This should be interesting, I would love to say you have my vote, but I can't pick favorites. I do wonder how this will go(knives vs popularity). I've known & watched you the longest, so I'm already rooting for you(& a little bias), but that seems unfair. I haven't even watched the others yet. Good luck!!! Hope all is well. Take it easy...
