Forging Super Sharp Knife With Roller Chain Damascus And 52100 Steel 

that totally nonchalant "drop forge" got me good....

My kids saw the finished product and both said “woww!”

I might be the only one that says this but I enjoy the longer videos. Thirty minutes of content for the countless hours you commit to fabricating these pieces of art is the least I can do.

Very cool pattern! You look young without the beard 😂 I almost didn’t recognize you at the end

Very beautiful knife. The grain on the handle is gorgeous. Well done sir.

Very beautiful but REAL knives. This one was a favorite.

That drop forge was impressive hahaha

Nail test was impressive! Greyjoy on the heat treatment

Yo, this is so cool. Thank you for explaining the process

That’s a rather complex job, nice to see how you hammered it together at a higher temperature, awesome finish too, beautiful knife! a nice chain of events 😂

Really beautiful Can’t believe I was not already subscribed!!!

Love the knife. Get to the Chopper

Beautiful knife! I wish I could afford even one of your small knives!

SPLENDID

How cool. You have done a great work. The knife looks beautiful 👏👏

Another cool pattern 👍

'Drop forge.' Heh. Totally sexy blade - I LOVE the shape - perfect utility shape. The reticulated blade pattern is extremely nice, but the ironwood handle - WOW!

Nice work 👌🏻😎

Ah, another use for roller chain! Thanks for sharing your processes.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Mighty fine Blade!

That's a beauty.

Amazingly tough, sharp, and not to forget, beautiful. Very nice Elijah! Blessings!

a work of art

I love it very well done. Quite impressive

That turned out looking good nicely done 👍

Your nail chopping technic improved.

Awesome

Cool knife and video!

Good video & good looking knife!!! 👍🏼

Great result with the pattern! I feel like my square would not stay square and the sides would come out uneven 🤦🏻‍♂️

Beautiful job Elijah, very sharp and tough.

very nice......great saves...

Thank you

Great knife

great work, that edge steel/damascus transition is so dramatic, clean, and consistent, great work!

Wunderschön klasse arbeit

You should get a chain link tool they’re super cheap, save your cutting discs

Very knife 👍

Beautiful build. Thank you.

Incredible work.

Can you tell I did a coffee etch on the blade? Popped those welds on the edge steel.

Awesome knife! Nice job.

Definitely one sharp looking blade. 😮😊

Impressive toughness from the edge

Beautiful knife. Nice video. 👍👍

Another gorgeous piece Elijah. Not only is it gorgeous, it's also very practical. That was slick how you drop forged it! Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Kool knife brother, I'm hooked on knife forging videos.God bless you brother.

Awesome Knife!! Keep'em coming!

Another stunning knife. Great job! Belated Happy Thanksgiving

you dont seen phased by any issues along the way. Awesome results

Awsome

gotto love that chain pattern , its a good one. I really like the shape of the blade too, somehow the slightly bellied edge appeals to me. would like to see what you do for a handle material

Nice work and a beautiful knife, but that chain is not a bicycle chain more than likely some sort of industrial one..

wow no beard... first time I have seen your video without beard!!

Usually industrial Roller Chain is at least 1080ish same as Chainsaw Chains, they have enough carbon to make proper blades even without powdered steel added but using powdered makes sure that you don’t have voids and delams. Given that your Roller Chain has a Nickel component to it the steel might not be a simple carbon steel or it might just be Nickel Plated simple carbon steel like 1080

How do you keep track of the layer orientation when you are forging it out?

Another beauty! What - is it cold in West Texas? You're wearing a coat . . .

is the star shaped part halfway along the knife natural or stamped in, not watched these videos before and have no knowledge of this type of thing but the blade looks beautiful, ive never really wanted a knife before but there's just something about it that I cant shake but if you do sell them then im more scared of the price than the knife 👍

Are you coming to Blade Texas this year?

I want a forge😭

Question would a broken East Wing Sledgehammer head make a good axe or Hatchet blade with the the steel hold an edge

Whats the edge thickness before you sharpen it? I try to get it as thin as I can comfortably go, close to a 1/32" edge with a saber grind for hunting knives but the edge still feels too thick. I havent handled much for other handmade knives so its hard to compare mine to others to see what a typical edge looks like.

Did you speed up your voice over?

Hey, it's me again. Just wondering if i could have it.

WTF YOU SHAVED

You should do a video like this but replace a lot of the technical terms with nonsense words. That would be funny.

I still don’t recognize you I miss the beard

Drop forged... lol

What happened to your beard?

Who even are you?; because you definitely aren't elijah

Made me feel dizzy watching you work that angle grinder toward the inside of your wrist. Next time: put the chain in the vise so a link is sticking up then use a cutoff disk horizontally on the link sticking up. Easy. If you only have one hand holding an angle grinder you're already halfway to the ER.

I'd love to do this as a job, I'm a sheet metal worker and I just make boring stuff like flashings ect.

Kean-ister, keant, eeand ..... why are you butchering so many pronunciations ?

Absolutely gorgeous!
