I retired after 38 years in automotive paint and body. Respiratory protection has always been the forefront of safety for me. I'm impressed to to see that you are safety conscious. Protecting your lungs is vital to a healthy and long life.

The pattern and quality of the knife as a whole are absolutely wonderful. I have a weird question. How is it that so many great videos like this one have so many views and only 2% of the people that viewed it hit the thumbs up?

As many others had said the pattern wasn't even close to what I had envisioned. It turned it epic and beautiful as usual. I get a black tiger vibe myself. Thanks again for taking us along!

I have to be honest, I did not expect that pattern. I figured 52100 with 52100 balls would not show much pattern but the powder with the 15n20 brought out a great pattern. Great job as usual.

The pattern on this blade is amazing! Such a beautiful knife. Way to go, sir!

Beautiful twist pattern and great job centering that pin.

When I see these videos I am so envious of his talent and skill. Especially in todays time when everything is mass produced in a different country. When people talk about a "dream job", this would be it for me if I had the tools, training and mastery like he does. Awesome job!

Never ceases to amaze me, the designs produced from the organization in the canister. Well done sir! 🤝

This art blew me away. Amazing work.

Of all the bearing combos you have done, this one is far the best. I am a HUGE fan of twisted Damascus. Cant seem to do it right myself but those who do it well such as yourself make it look so easy. I hate you for that lmao. Amazing pattern.

Absolutely one of those "satisfying to watch" kind of thing. Very fascinating. Didn't miss a nuance. Know why? Had to watch three times to MAKE SURE. Video is loaded with 411. Learned so much. Watching the annealing processes was amazing. So much timing necessary. Obviously very important/integral to obtain very high quality. Those knives are worth a lot of money as high quality instruments. No doubt about it. Your skill sets here are phenomenal. Great stuff.

That finished product looks amazing. Major props.

I did not expect a twist rate anywhere near how steep that was. Beautiful 👏

I guess there were a lot more turns to the twist than the video led us to believe. It came out beautifully, that's for sure. Not a lot of bearings showing up in the pattern, but the heavy rod sure turned into a beautiful "ladder-ish" pattern. The blade came out quite nice, and the wood chosen for the hidden tang goes very well with it indeed.

Really enjoyed the flow of this video, without the ‘interruptions’ of narration. Those videos are great to get an understanding of what you are doing, so I wouldn’t want to see them go away, but this allows you more time to show the process of working, and that is really satisfying. Thank you!

I like how you did not cut the metal and stack it and then melt together. It just stayed one single block.

That is a beautiful blade, fully enjoyed watching your video.

Great video. You can actually see what your hammer blows are doing to the blade as far a the shaping process. Allot of other videos you can't tell how the metal is reacting to the hammer strikes.

awesome work young fella good to see the younger people still keeping the trades alive instead of sitting infront of a computer screen

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Ficou incrível
