I have been a knife maker for over thirty years your blade work is outstanding your handle work sorry to say not so much but your blade craft is stellar.
I was going to say…. I’m not a smith but I’ve seen hundreds of videos of people making knives and thought the same thing about him welding the handle onto the blade. That just creates a weak spot…. But the blade is beautiful.
The metod is called mokume gane. I dislike plasma cutting, soldering handle, epoxi sticking. Reali for me this is beginer in blacksmithing. May be is good in finishing work of already forged blade.
Just from the videos of very skilled blacksmiths I've seen on RU-vid, I would agree with you. He cut the shape of the blade instead of hammering it to compress it further. His plasma cutter can't even cut thru a thin piece of mixed metal.
@zackfowler8613 but he did "inlay"=same difference : the copper in the metal. May add a bit of softness to the overall blade I guess but if just for looks he could have pounded the design in & added copper later .. still way better than I can do ....for now. 🤞
I'm not one to drop a like or dislike without giving a critique on a video like this, so I hope you take this to heart. Before anything, I came here from the short because I had some questions that this video answered. And please don't misunderstand, it is a beautiful blade, but it may not last long with use A) Your blade is maybe a fraction as strong as it could be, so hopefully this is a decorative piece more than anything. While you stick welded the edges, you burned into the billets on at least one side and proceeded to belt-sand off the excess weld, but without a reference to where the actual metal was located. It may have been better to just spread a ton of flux between the layers, tack weld a few spots, and let the forge and power hammer take care of the bonding between the metals. B) You wasted a lot of metal by shaping it with the plasma torch, especially when you also demonstrated that you understand how to draw and shape with forge tools. C) This was double so when you started on the tang. You also may have weakened the blade where it meets the tang as the sharp corners create major stress points. You made them worse by keeping the top "step" of the hidden tang design above the handle. D) Which brings me to how poor the tang as a whole is. By cutting it out with an angle grinder and then stick welding more to the length, you have almost assured that the tang WILL snap, even with all the epoxy(?) you poured into the over sized hole for it. E) I can ignore the rest of issues for a display blade, but shaping the handle with the blade attached on a belt sander with a pair of latex dipped fabric gloves is asking for some trouble. Please protect your hands and that blade better. One slip could have screwed that blade up permanently or lost you a hand--it does not have to be sharp to remove a bone.
Чи не спциолит. У нас на зонах такие вещи делают,что этому мастеру учится и учится.И все без навароченног инструмента,и в тихоря ,то б мусара не видели.
It's a cool idea , but because steel and copper are unlike metals this knife will separate. Next time use brass and braze them together and not only will it look great it'll be strong also.
Медь ничуть не худший припой по сравнению с латынью, так что даже не стоит переживать что что то будет распадаться! У латуни температура плавления ниже чем у меди так что можно просто не попасть в интервал ковки стали!!!
Nice looking knife. The steel and the copper really complement each other when they are that polished. Using your hand to block the flash while welding will not save your eyes, please wear a proper shield. I would like to see something like this again but with a much higher layer count - maybe 50-100 layers.
That's good question about galvanic corrosion. But galvanic corrosion occur continuously an electrolytes. So If this knife doesn't dip in the water, no problem
I personally doubt it can make a durable blade but rather a "unique" finish. My father is a blacksmith and i have never heard of him using copper in Damascus. Just Nickel,Carbon steel of different kinds and Borax as flux. Then Hydrochloric acid to etch it. He never used butane oven though, just "Bituminous coal" and Coke. Maybe a tiny bit of copper can add to the finish but copper is to soft to use in steel for knives, Period 🙂
nice looking knife , but it's not a true Damascus knife as Damascus blades come from folding and from what i saw in the video the blade was not folded, putting 3 layers of steel and 2 layers of copper and welding them does not equal a Damascus knife
You're right. You are also flat out ignoring the skill that it takes to not just melt the copper and drive it out of the laminate. But, hey. You're right. Nit pick away.
Congratulations! He created a knife shaped battery! Lol! There is a galvanic current created by dissimilar metals. I believe with enough time the copper “veneer” on the blade will peel off from the steel creating a fish gill effect. Also he could have created a knife shape during forging and avoid the oxyacetylene cutting completely
Pois é usando equipamentos super sofisticados pra fazer coisas elementares... É muito exibicionismo sem qualquer mostra de arte... Que pena e mais uma vergonha aos realmente alquimistas japoneses aos quais tenho a mais alta admiração.
@@Ivan_Sidorov потому что такая кузнечная сварка, без флюса, и т.д.... Да и полировка клинка- такое себе, на последних кадрах хорошо видно. Это не нож для работы, это чисто полочник.
Есть, нож стоит на шкафу или висит на ковре и радует глаз, твёрдость Дамаска это твёрдость самой мягкой входящей в пакет стали, а тут это медь. Это красивая сувенирка, соответственно в придании сувенирке лишней красоты толк есть. 😂
It doesn't make sense as the two metals appear not to be blended throughout the total mass so surely there must be hard and soft portions to the blade. Would love other opinions to support your findings. Many many moons gone I knew a coppersmith. I remember his view was the steel became slightly softer but no oxidizing effects. The secret appeared to be a closed book as to the different weight ratios of the two metals.
Ну бумажку резать это не показатель, я тут самый дешевый кухонный ножик наточил и также резал и не А4 который плотнее, а обычную тонкую газету. вот если бы ты им проволоку разрубил это другое дело, а так.... .
Нож супер, автору огромный респект !!! Только я не понял зачем вообще нужны были медные пластины ??? Неужели исключительно для больших просмотров , а не для качества лезвия ?
Разумеется это все для красоты. Меня больше поразило что он плазмой режет поковку, что отпиливает хвостовик, что бы приварить удлинитель... Это сувенирный нож.
he really needs to change the tip on his plasma torch, it's past being burned out, A plasma torch is a great tool but the tips are consumables and have to be changed regularly, I'm not being a troll here, it's a great looking knife, (not a "dagger" he has skills no doubt . but he should service his tools, it would work 100% better than the cut he made, I work with metal, I'm a fabricator ( not a knife smith) so I understand tools....just my 2 cents🙃
