Making a $9,000 Set of Damascus Tanto

just a general help tip, all your vices move around, make them not, especially on your fret saw mouth

So so cool.
Absolutely beautiful work.

Hi. is this a shop in a business district or is this your house garage ?

Our workshop have switch to soft back grinder pads to avoid hand-arm vibration. Maybe check these out?

حلو الشغل بس تحجي هوايه قلقل كلام موعت مخي

Damn, as an Australian I consider Tasmanian Blackwood too soft for knife handles. 😂
Do you have a PO box? Maybe I can send you some ringed gidgee.

….so much work ❤great job

Hello I have just started wood working and I saw that when you glued the handle together, you put the tang in and out and wiped out the excess glue. If this was to avoid glue from filing the space, you might be able to put masking tape in the space instead so you can pull out the tape after. Love your videos and the mix of medium in your blade builds!

i'm kind of curious why so many smiths use copper habaki. Copper oxidises easier than brass, and brass habaki are cheap to make.

Не стоит таких денег очнись джеки качан

Curious question could you take a leaf spring 2 pieces get them hot enough to forge weld together and give them a twist and make a knife

I don’t like the handles. The large diamond pattern with the exposed wood I don’t like. Seems like they should be tighter but that could be because I’m used to seeing ray skin under it.

why don't you try to use a dremel to carve out the shapes inside the handle and saya?

Compared to all other craftsman/blacksmiths on social media, he is the one I enjoy watching the most for a lot of reasons.
His affection to this craft seems to be far more present than most others, he does so much with the little space he has. I also love the little more traditional approach to forging aswell.
Compared to most other blacksmiths on social media, forging and making the shape of the blade is what is shown the most, making the rest of the craft mostly just 5-10min long, Jesse Hu's process of forging the blade is generally 1/3 or just 1/2 of the whole video leaving so much more time in showing something that is just as important. I love seeing the process of how he makes the handle, how he details things, its often just skipped over by others, but this is my favourite part when it comes to blacksmithing blades.

Crazy you don’t wear gloves? You ever get burnt?

Salut, je ne sais pas si tu verras mon commentaire.

Pour la scie de bijoutier (le bocfil) il vaut mieux travailler ta pièce à hauteur d'épaule pour être plus à l'aise (tu es entre 20 a 30cm trop haut actuellement)

Je n'ai pas encore fini la vidéo, mais je peux déjà dire que c'est une très belle commande ^^

What kind of belt grinder is that

Make some gloves and fill them with non neutonium fluid

Can you please make some Damascus ninja Throwing stars and knives!!! 🙏

Blade magazine, huh? Nice! I bet all 72 subscribers to that magazine liked seeing it in there.

I haven't been into a making video this much since Alec Steel was in Montana. Great work

At 42.10 you had sandpaper taped to your chest, was that just to keep the tip of the blade off your hoodie or?

you have a mill! why mess with the hand router for your material removal, way more control,

Most Japanese blades from the past were signed by both the swordmaker and the polisher, and the area where they were made. So you are correct, most swordmakers did not polish their blades, they left that to an expert.

Great work for a young guy you got some great tips and techniques overall I love watching you work, I also picked up an an anvil and a forge I’m excited to get into knife making but I’m completely new to this so videos like this help me a lot.

how you only have 250k subs is wild, the quality of your videos are amazing and the blades your produce is pure art! keep up the good work man

All I can think of is some guy sitting in his boxers slicing pepperoni with his $4500 katana with a giant smile on his face.

Perfect top show beautiful beautiful

I love watching this guy do his thing and explain the process as he works.

So glad I found your channel. You were my favorite contestant on Shark Tank and sure your channel will be one of my favorites!!

Mihawk's Sword (One Piece)

I don’t know if it’s possible or not but you should try doing 2 twist Damascus billets then twist those 2 together into 1 billet and try to make a blade I think it would be cool but I don’t forge or anything so I’m not sure if it would be possible.

Nah nah, I've done a decent amount of woodworking in my life, and carving a channel in wood with a chisel is one of my favorite things to watch. Seeing it or doing it, it's a lot of fun.

Beeswax on your jewlers saw. And less pressure. Let the saw do the cutting.

would u try forging a butterfly knife in the future？

Metabo is a grinder that I bought. If you wanna get rid of that vibration this is the best one I found so far it’s green and silver. You probably have to eat online somewhere but it’s very good quality.

Ok I’m tired of seeing people make a good living by doing what they love i need to get my stuff together im tired of the rat race

You should look into how they cool the blade. They have three different hardness zones.

Hey man, I love ur builds, and I would love to get into bladesmithing, but all the kit is super pricey, any tips?

That is a beautiful knife, it's too bad that you used epoxy for the handle, rather than the traditional using the traditional Mekugi method.

Ever thought about making an Axe?

There you have it! The moment about YT being able to entertain with someone sculpting wood. And pretty anything else. That's what draws me to creating content.
