Damascus steel from shoe nails. Roasted nails. 

should never be able to tolerate burns lol

@@bh-0330 it's inevitable, when you work with particularly high carbon content steel, every hit of the hammer creates sparks of super hot carbon and oxides that escape the surface of the material. They can fall down your gloves through the sleeves and burn right through the skin

@@bh-0330 actually most dangerous about burns on bigger areas of your body is the shock you can get which ends deadly fast I work in district heating and get a burn from time to time the effect doesn't change but you lose some of the pain which stretches your tolerance before s shock it can safe your life if you burn yourself seriously if you had experience with burns before

and no talking shit...

Agreed. I hate music in my blacksmithing video.

entertaining and therapuetic as well.

@@mercoid please spoonfeed me

It's a gag, apparently it has something to do with a Russian term for spicy food also meaning sharp.

@@garethbaus5471 lol thanks for clarifying that for those of us not in the know ;) Cheers

It's also because the process requires a source of carbon. Any organic plant or just charcoal /coal would work but this is funny too

​@@antonytheocharidis9576 That's only if you are starting with molten iron. Steel already has a carbon content and unless you are melting it down completely into liquid and THEN adding carbon, it's not going to make any difference.

Damn there be some adults on the internet 👍

There’s a lot of cold shunts in that blade his billet wasn’t solid enough when he started forging he’s made a pretty paper weight I wouldn’t use that as a knife it would probably shatter on you

@@shorty808100 1) a letter opener. 2) a "display" knife not suitable for anything but looks. There is a small market for both.

Very interesting damascus at that :)

@@seanviklund6749 because he thinks he knows things and that this isn't damascus

@@seanviklund6749 google says its a way of steel making where you keep heating and then folding metal. I guess this guy is just flattening it and thats why its not damascus? 🤷‍♂️ still fun fo watch tho

@@seanviklund6749 classic Damascus steel is possible because steel can contain different amounts of carbon, and higher amounts can darken the gray tint of the metal(correct me if I'm wrong). Damascus steel is made by taking two thin strips of steel with different amounts of carbon and layering them into a brick that's welded together and stuck in the forge. The rest of the process is effectively just molding the steel into a bar so you can cut and rearrange it back into a brick and repeating the process until you achieve a desired result. So TL;DR Damascus is what happens when you layer two different colors/tints of metal together to create more intricate patterns. More eye catching examples include Timascus, which is titanium dimascus, which is what's used for the Damascus skin in CoD MW2019

@@seanviklund6749 its the capital of Syria

Typically, the canister for Damascus like this isn't hardenable steel. If you don't take it off, you can risk the soft steel being on the cutting edge, which won't hold an edge at all. Plus, leaving it on would lose the pattern.

Should he REALLY do that with BARE hands?

Its so scale isnt embedded in the blank thus creating pitting and causing more work when sanding.

@@fifiwoof1969 oh yeah it would take ages for the hot metal to deliver enough heat to the anvil for the anvil to even warm up. It's probably still cool to the touch.

@@fifiwoof1969 his calluses are so thick it shouldn't even register in his pain receptors.

It's your OCD

That was so tacky! 😉

And, depending on how you look at it, he didn't!

@@HisVirusness I concur, he has not failed in the creation of the blade, what he has done is to show how it will turn out using this method, and in doing so has eductated people so they know what they will get by doing this...and hopefully deter them fro trying...

He has, and a lot of times so he can make such a good knife

It's actually very clever. You see, in English if something is peppered you call it hot. Now in Russian they don't call it hot, they call it "sharp" ("острый" - sharp). So basically he's making his knifes sharp by adding some papper and spice to them.

Maybe you should make your own blade so people can tell you what you should have done after you're finished....

@@Anomaly.Filmworks maybe you should cheer up a bit

@@thestalkinghead maybe you should enjoy the video and stop being a negative creep...

@@Anomaly.Filmworks nothing negative was said, at the time of my comment the title was about its failure to etch, now it is just in the description "I don't know what these nails were made of, but after a day and a half of trying, I could not properly etch the blade, only made shells." my comment was a response to that.

@@thestalkinghead I didn't see a failure...

Sweep fast so your hand don't burn and feel the heat

The anvil doesn't really heat up when using it

I came to the comments to see if anyone asked why he does it, so I could see if anyone got an answer. But this will suffice lmao

@@heisalright9999 it's a pun in Ukraine. I don't remember the exact words, but more or less "spicy" have the same pronunciation of "sharp"

I agree that Forged in fire contestants could learn a lot about making damascus from these videos. Unfortunately they don't normally have the time that this level of craftsmanship requires.

Зачем он туда крошит перец и пряности?

Для чего перчик. Ищу ответ..

I am not sure his forge could handle crucible steel. 😂 And they were definitely cheap steel nails. Notice how he welded a plate of true quality steel to the metal to make the cutting edge!
