I like the fact that blacksmiths have technical terms like 'Goo.' As a geologist I once described the vein we were looking at as 'squiggly' and was asked if that was a true geological term. I assured the investor that it was. 😂
Yes sir, this is important to the respective trade ...
(to @rockbutcher) As an engineer, (civil) who worked in gold and silver mines, I also chided the geologists (irreverently referred to as "pebble fairies") for making predictions about minerals drilled out hundreds of feet below surface. And then, even more mysterious are the geologists who expound about Martian geology and even geology of other stars and planets. I mean, how TF do they do that?
@@slichens1927 You sure sound like one. There's a reason why after 32 years in the industry there are only 5 mining engineers that I will allow to sit with me in my fishing boat. Go find, delineate and then define your own orebody Champ.
@@rockbutcher AWW c'mon RB. I was just tryin' to make a bit o fun (at your expense, of course). You sure you haven't got a rock hammer in your, uh, back pocket today?
I had an MRI on my back and had two vertabrae
out of alignment.
I told my PCP I had two vertebrae out of whack.
He asked if that was a medical term and I told
him it could be.
Your son is adorable brother…. You have been truly blessed!!!
For people ,who have never forged a blade in their life, and are just users'collectors. Guys, this is how you properly make a knife! I've seen both in person and on CZcams videos, some of the best makers in the world. So,it's not just my opinion from my personal experience and knowledge, I've seen and I've spoken with hundreds of makers.
Do not get excited, with all that marketing nowdays, which makes you believe, that a good knife, is one made of the highest technology power metallurgy steel. It's what this makers does, that makes a perfect knife!!!
Those details, like the amount of water he uses while grinding to avoid overheating the steel and so many other details, are what maters the most. Geometry and heat treatment, are also more important, than steel itself is.
In the same time, I bet his blades, hold their edge as a Vanadis 4 Extra does, while in the same time, they have some of the best, if not THE best edge stabiliity you can have on a blade.
We became big fans of forging from watching Forged in Fire - and now search out the topis on CZcams. Just found your channel. That feather pattern damascus is amazing and my husband now wants a "steak knife" made with that pattern. Will keep an eye on your website for something suitable!
Every time they do canister Damascus on "Forged in Fire" I'm always marveling that nobody takes the can and puts it on top of any machine that vibrates, so as to get the powder to settle. But bringing the sawzall to the cannister? Next level!!!!
Also works for getting air out of a concrete pour.... FYI .
Hopefully you never ever have to pour the devil's diarrhea, but if you do here's a good way to get the air out of it. 👍👍
Wow! Truly epic! Your "accident" worked out amazingly well! I really live the way the pattern turned out! Thanks for taking us along on your learning experience. As always another great piece!
That was a great idea using ball bearings, I never tried using them for feather damascus. Very impressive once again. Thanks.
Phenomenal result - that feather pattern turned out really nice! Well done, brother.
Thanks!!
Great work again. Thanks a lot for covering up the welding light! Highly appreciated.
Wow that turned out to be stunning. Love the pattern. Thanks.
Perfectly made, perfect desing for use, great looks, can't get any better!!!
That is a beauty! Love how the pattern comes over the spine.
Love the way this feather pattern came out, one of the most attractive I've seen. Great work!
Mighty fine, sir! I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your techniques and "learning experiences" Selfishly I'm sorry the bloodwood cracked, that's my favorite handle material and I was looking forward to learning how you finish yours.
Stunning work! I love to watch you work magic with steel.
Outstanding! Looks like opposing waterfalls. Tutorial was spot on.
FANTASTIC looking blade! Amazing craftsmanship as always!!
That's just stunning. It's not an overly elaborate knife, but that's part of it's beauty. Sweet lines, clean curves, great proportions, and that stunning blade. Yikes. Really nice.
Thanks for the excellent editing as well sharing your experiences with this method with us!
That was a beautiful feather pattern. Pretty darn good for your first time!
Easily the most beautiful Damascus you have made so far imo
Great, or should I say, beautiful pattern! You have a matched talent of smithing and commenting while you do these projects. Very informational and entertaining! Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work. From what I see of your family, you a very blessed, reminds me of forty odd years ago on my farm. Thanks again.

That came out awesome. Enjoy your videos and commentary explaining what we are watching.
A good bit of my childhood was spent in my dad's shop and it was always a good day when I managed to find a ball bearing on the floor. They were a rare find and seemed to provide endless amounts of fun. Maybe your kid is going to have similarly fond memories of ball bearings :)
Always great to watch you work
Your voice over and explanation s are spot on
I can't believe how easy the cans come off! Such a good way to do it.
Looks pretty darn awesome to me!
Thanks man!
That turned out wayyyy cooler then i was expecting man that is gor-jus!!!
Glad you like it!
That's the most fancy simple hardy looking knife I've ever seen
That turned out super cool. Far different from many other feather patterns I've seen. I really like the thick bands between the feathers. Nice work!
Thanks!!
Very cool final result!!
I really appreciate your voice-over giving details/explanations of what we're seeing (I don't really know much about forging but am very interested in it). Great videos, thanks man!
Wow! The pattern is beautiful.
Beautiful work and awesome job like always! And again its completely different than any other feather pattern out there
Absolutely stunning knife sir! The simple appearance really belies how complex it is.
Bro your beard is majestic... your blades are even better.
thank you sir
That knife turned out spectacular!
Beautiful knife! Real masterpiece!
Pretty dang good looking knife
That Desert Ironwood is beautiful
hello little person and mrs firecreek forge.
getting started early is definitely the way to start forging .
I have to say right now that is the most effective and attractive feather damascus I have ever seen, its awesome..
That turned out BEAUTIFUL!
If you stuck a speaker next to your canister playing 'Whole Lotta Love' I bet that powder would settle real nice.
As per usual I am hopelessly enthralled by this dedication to the craft, awesome brother
Dam nice demacus this pattern is unique !
The most plain working knife you will ever see BUT with the most awsome pattern in a blade,wen I say plain workin knife,…. It’s a nice length for ya belt or boot,nothing fancy bout the handle shape or blade shape BUT that feather pattern turned Cinderella into a princess👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well done...it turned out awesome!
That is really nice, especially for the first time! Cute little boy too!
Beautiful work
You never cease to amaze. Really cool pattern and more importantly stretching the boundaries of welded steel design. Big thumbs up 👍🏻
Thank you sir, thanks for watching the channel
That blade came out really nice I think the best one you have done yet
I feel like the addition of the bandsaw blade steel was a fortunate accident. Made the feather even more distinct.
It did turn out in the end, thanks for watching!
That sir, is a thing of beauty.
your face expression, while you're working - priceless
Thanks for this video. Looks beautiful!
Elijah that pattern looks awesome it came out really nice i love how you think about these new projects cant wait to whatelse you have up your sleeve Mark 👍👍
Beautiful work.
one unique blade love it !
Thank you for the video and God bless your soon!... Hugs from Lisbon.
Absolutely amazing knife!
Love the voice overs. I would rather hear what you observe and your ideas as you work at it, and you have a good voice for it.
It turned out great
Beautiful work, and really like you descriptions of what works and what's not so good! And you have a great family 👍
Thanks!!
Gorgeous feather pattern, for a first, you nailed it good sir. It's something I have yet to attempt and I can only hope it comes out half as good. I love the ironwood, it seems to have grain and color defined in goid contrast to each other, oil can dampen that effect but oil is essential imo to protect the longevity of the handle. I bet for a kitchen knife a CA finish in ironwood would look awesome.
Looks Great!
That is totally wicked dude, love your work and videos!
That turned out phenomenal. Would love to see it attempted on a bigger blade
Great video mate, thanks for sharing 🤩
Beautiful work and craftsmanship
Incredible job
Beautiful!
Man that’s a stunning blade
True craftsman
JUST BEAUTIFUL
Outstanding masterpiece...
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous blade. Well done!
Awsome patteren great job!
Very nice indeed. Definately more work than the normal route. Ill eventualy do some hidden tang blades to test the patience out a bit more soon.
Lovely work!
Good work….. congrats from Germany 🇩🇪 🎉
That's probably the nicest looking blade I've ever seen!
Thanks!!
That is super beautiful
Love your channel
Excellent first attempt.
That's a cool one
I love it
I am in complete awe.
Wow, what a great little knife. Love your work.
Very nice result. Can't tell from that, that it is your first go at feather damascus👍!
Like your explanations, easy to understand , and i LOVE your sense of humour: "That is a technical term, goo"...
First time I see that orientation of the feather on the finished knife - pointing away from the hand towards the tip. Everybody else (that I have seen..) put it pointing from tip towards hand. Beautiful!
Very cool pattern for just learning I think you knocked it out of the park
I like that "iron sharpens iron" shirt. 🙂 Nice knife, too.
I applaud you for blocking the welding brightness. Others just shadow and add a greenish filter over it.
Absolutely beautiful knife, Sir.
You do what I want to do it's amazing!
I love that knife!
Absolutely beautiful.!!!!!!
Wow, great job! Looks amazing!
Thank you!
That’s a beautiful knife!
Nice works,thanks for sharing
That has to be one of the prettiest knives I’ve seen. You said you had some learning while doing it but you can’t tell. Beautiful blade Sir!
