Forging A Diabolical Damascus Razor By Hand!
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 11. 2017
- A razor most heinous is forged from traditional, layered, pattern welded damascus by hand. The steels used are 15n20 and 1095. The geometry on this razor is a little more "face friendly" than my last two razors. So it's off to the hairy area around my brother's pie hole to see whether the razor known as "Revenge Of Son Of Kung Fu Treachery" shaves or just permanently alters his countenance!
07:56 I should say "tool rest" instead of "platen"
Yes, my accent does sound like the priest from Princes Bride plus Elmer Fud.

Beetle, you are just about the only blacksmithing channel that can make me laugh
😅😅😅u
I really enjoy the composure of your videos. They are always beautifully lit, and I like the jokes and narration/commentary. Keep up the good work!
Every time I think, "Man, It is about time Green Beetle put out a new video" you put out a new video right on time. Good job.
you should def thing that more often, then... :P
Throwing the razor in that piece of square stock to soak for the heat treat was pretty genius. I don’t think I’ve seen that done before
I know nothing about metal and blacksmithing but for some reason your channel makes me so interested about it.
lol thanks bro for the super sketch razor.. even though it cuts the shit out of my face I still must use it, for brotherly love it was forged.
"covered with monks`n`stuff" xD
Love that intro!
I have to try that! Great video. Love when the maker is honest about his skills and letting me know about the risky moments in a project just like this. Thanks, and keep it up!
That intro though I mean nice vid but I cant stop laughing and rewatching that intro, this was a true masterpiece.
Follow up msg: I love the video style, I've been a subscriber of Alec Steel for years, and as his have got more talking and less actual making I love that your vid is more taciturn and functional, great job I look forward to binging your vids! 😁👍
I really enjoyed watching this video. The pattern in the billet is simply amazing. I think stopping at 128 layers was absolutely the right call. I hope your brother has learned to shave and that this razor works out great for him.
Love the videos green beetle keep them up!!!! beautiful razor. I also just became a patron I’m glad I can help you do something you love and I can keep watching. I can’t wait till you make another knife that you will be selling on eBay I would love to own one.
WOW that came out amazing, great job, good luck to your brother's face!
Ok so, your vid was spat out of CZcams Algorithmia onto my feed, and that initial voiceover...yeah I laughed, actually laughed and made noise, not just the internal nose snort and thought of "yeah that was entertaining" but an actual laugh! You have a new sub dude!
THANK YOU! I laughed so hard I squeaked! Awesome! That alone was worth my thumb up!
God DAMNNNNN that thing looks good^_^ great work as always
Just great job! Also love how you talk on the video. Keep it up mate!
Interesting format, enjoyed it after I was done Laughing over the beginning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That looks absolutely awesome, great job beetle
Beautiful blade GB. Love your work man!
Inspiring work thanks for posting
Beauty, here's hoping it performs up to his liking. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! A Very nice pattern on that and I really like the overall shape, Great work!
That's an awesome little straight razor you made there. Very nice, I need to get me one of those.
Love your narration!
Always awesome work, dude. Loved the Samurai Jack styled intro.
Exceptional narration!
Enjoyed this immensely
Wow, that looks really great! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice clean fold a very nice clean cuts I love your work man
You got big balls heat treating an edge that thin AFTER grinding. Glad it didn't crack. Good job my dude
Great video brother. You are the best.
Intro commentary - ultimate lol :)
Personally, I'm not a fan of the handle, but forging damascus without a power hammer, press or striker is still amazing! Great job.
.rzr DTP!!!
INDEEEEED! :D
REEECYCLEEEE!
MYEEESSSSSSSSS (ziltoid voice)
Forging pattern steel you mean. Damascus is a four part process. Ore, Blumes, Crucible steel and then the forge work. Folded, twisted pattern steel does not have the same strength, flexibility or hold an edge as real Wootz Damascus. Just Clarifying here... Although, I like the Handle...
Love your channel man, and sorry to hear CZcams is making it difficult for you. Wish I had more money to give as a 19year old college student. But your content is definitely inspiring one of my future hobbies
Awesome video!!!!!
Between you and Walter Sorrells, my blacksmithing fixes are always met - Nice looking blade, my man!
awesome. thanks for sharing!
Love your work
Ahhh grasshopper you are a man of much patience!!!! LOL
Now that is art!
Strait razors aren't usually tempered because they do nothing but cut hair which wont chip or break the blade, instead they are left hard so the hold their edge best as possible.
One of the best blades yet!
Great video!
I taught myself to straight razor shave. every time after respecting the razor the first time, when i was like, yeah i can bang out a straight razor shave real fast.... hamburger face. everytime.
Awesome, man.
Videos are great, good mix of skill, and humor.
Loved it..can i have the name of the song played at the end?😁
This was possibly the sexiest damascus knife or razor I have ever seen. Well done on the subtle pattern, I hate nothing more than a damascus overworked to the point of muddiness.
the best part about a long video is that i can hand sand while watching
You had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video. Thanks for sharing
When I saw you were making a razor I was really excited !! I still use a straight razor and planning on trying to make one with about a two inch cutting edge . think the old ones where just too long . Great video ! Thanks !
Beautiful. Your work continues to look more and more impressive. You may have just convinced me to jump into Patreon just to see the results of this.
Good work mate

@@afrog2666 I stand corrected.
That came out beautiful
Sick. Love your channel.
Gorgeous razor great job
Vary nice, I've always wanted a straight razor and Damascus seems pretty cool.
Great job
You know, i have been trying to learn smithing for a while now. I have loved all things medievial since i was a child. Now i have almost everything i could need, but i still am finding myself having trouble forging. I think its a case of taking the first step, i dont know. I dont have a forge, but i have everything i think i need to make something that could work as a forge. I bounced back and forth between propane and charcoal. I bought a propane weedburner that i was going to use, but was a bit hesitant of it, so now its back to charcoal again. I dont know, i really want to get it started, maybe im procrastinating a bit as well. But videos like this really make me want to go out and forge. So, hopefully soon i will be working some hot iron.
Was not a total fan of the handle at first glance but the result is breathtaking. Everything is perfect and that gives the razor a unique personnality. I would definitely cherish that kind of blade for décades.
The final color of the whole razor is exceptionnal. Such a deep grey gives it boldness and power, all the more with the contrast the damascus offers. You never fail to surprise me!
Brilliant and funny! “Covered in monks and stuff!”
Outstanding
Nice video. What is the diference in the caracteristics of the razor by making more or less layers in the forge ?
"Revenge of Son of Kung Fu Treachery".
I'd watch that movie.
Turned out great btw :)
Dude, great video and your intro was bad ass! I do some fabrication, machining...whatever, I make shit; you got skills.
Nice vid. Nice razor.
NICE RAZOR SIR I LOVE IT
We need more intros like this one
Good job you did on making that razor
That's a pretty good Homestarrunner voice! Good jorb!
Hello thanks for video, how to unite the plates of ex-plane exhaust and a hundreds electrik guitar string waste made from nikle and leaf spring or bearing how to joined that layer by forge to be solid???
cool video!
Nice, sneaking your logo in when you change the sanding belt!
That is a beautiful razor.
Whadda beautiful razor. If it cuts as good as it looks, your brother is STILL shaving with it!
Great introduction
Looool. Thanks for the video
Helpful tips: see the gaps you are leaving in between the steel when you weld the steel together before the forge weld? That can let scale build up in between the steel and that'll cause delaminations. Clamp the steel together in a vise when arc welding or mig welding to minimize that gap.

Isn’t “flux” used for that?
@@bigboss4298 yes but it still helps
a little hint.
for face shaving you need a very high layer count of soft/hard or use 2 different hard elements.
also a tight twist also provides the best microscopic edge for fine shaving.
the act of twisting can also catvh any bad welds if you do it at welding heat.
you can tell its slow speed by watching the contact wheel
When u skate your file over heat treated steel will it leave any scratches on the surface at all
Lol you slid from Asian to Elmer Fudd. Gotta love these videos!
You should hear my sean connery
Hi there, that's a nice razor. Pretty good to watch and learn. How long did it take you to make. And why didn't you fold it for more layers. Thanks, you rock
Inspiring vid with handmade patern weld❤️ a “tutorial” style video on the subject would be entertaining and informative. Cheers
Best intro ever.
GORGEOUS!!!
I’m a new subscriber to your channel, what would be a good metal part to make a hard and really tough machete? I’ve had bad luck buying machetes they break at the first blow.
Nice work ;)
I'm gaining on you Mr Pave!
Hey I am new to pattern-welding/modern-damascus, do you know if a 3x1.6x.6 inch billet would be enough for a kitchen knife?
Great jobs on the videos btw, each new one has higher quality than the last, you're getting up there in the knife world!
Good looking steel.
i have a really good idea for an upcoming project of yours. If you add pure nickel sheets to damascus, and after the etching you heat anodize the blade you will get a black/white/blue pattern. the nickel is resistant to the etching and heat anodizing, the other 2 steels are not
How do you handle the heat from the beltgrinder, do your hands not give a damn anymore?
Beautiful
Absolutly beautiful!
I’d shave with it. Very cool look! Wish my daily razor looked that nice.
Can you feel a difference in the steel as you stack the layers more and more?
Lay-person here, would it be a bad idea to put flux between the steel before forge welding? Or perhaps "build" the layers as you go by forge welding each layer one by one? I realize this would fatigue the initial pieces of steel that you would "build" on. Thanks!
Flux between layers impedes steels ability to forge weld without inclusions is the steel. That’s why you want the pieces to be tight before you weld the block, and apply flux as forging. Adding each layer sounds good, but as scale builds you end up with less material, and harder to get clean fusion between pieces. Fatigue is one way to put it, stress fractures during heat treat is what would happen.
As only a curious know nothing, would it be a detriment or plus to sprinkle and crush the powder between the layers before bringing up to temp also?
Hmm. Didn't know Elmer Fudd's brother was into martial arts. Lol. Nice vid.
The beginning of this video is straight up lacist!
Absolutely beautiful work, as always. Fantastic job and fantastic video!
I do hate when people discriminate against each other all on account of their laces. :)
