Making Nebula Damascus Skeleton knife from bearing steel ball
This is the final result after 7 attempts. I have made many failed cases. But this time the work satisfied me.
Thanks for watching

Doing this without adding powdered steel to the canister must have been a heck of a challenge! I didn't expect it would work as well as it obviously did, congratulations in a super build!
It seems to me the key to getting it to work as well as it did was to allow the canister to forge weld to the exteriors of the ball bearing billet. Putting Ti02 inside the can would have prevented it from adhering to the canister and made the task of welding the balls together without filler material a wonky mess.
My thoughts exactly.... In the first 10second of the video i was shock
@brink666 my thoughts exactly and came to say the same exact thing. You can not get that pattern weld without 2 different types of metals so there is no way in this world he made the pattern look like that without a 2nd type of metal which the one he had forged out looked good so why fake the ending have no idea. Also I was shocked to see the first pass on the can he sqeezed down from the top really hard to where it almost blew it out and never seen that one before but good on him if it worked just wonder where he got the metal to make the blade bc I seen cpl patterns like that before on here by other smith's so wonder if he bought a bar for stock removal lol
@HansKnives it's not ignorance you literally can't make a Damascus design with only 1 type of metal. If they are Nickle or whatever its still 1 type of steel and it would weld as a solid bar regardless of what ignorance your referring to it can not it will not ever work without a 2nd type of steel/ metal ro separate the bearings. Seen this pattern at least 5 times on here and every single one but him used powdered steel and never one time did they ever squeeze it that hard from the top and tell you you can't do that but hey it's others ignorance right for calling out a fake video. He made a nice bar to begin with so why try and make ppl belive he actually made that steel
The guys got a mill, no challenge at all
Wow the patternation on this was amazing, simply stunning work.
One of the most beautiful knives I’ve ever seen for sure. Thank you very much. ♥️
The cute kitty saying "hii" to us is so pretty 😍😍
That is a BEAUTIFUL blade. The pattern is almost mesmerizing
My new favorite pattern I didn't know about!! I would love a wood axe and maul with this pattern 😍
i dont even have a pocket knife or any knives besides the kitchen but I found this so satisfying and cool to watch.
It's such a genius idea to bump it up on the ends to keep the length compressed! Beautiful work!
Craftsman at work! Awesomeness!
The final product is just perfect!
Beautiful job! Masterclass handcrafting!
Beautiful. I love the pattern
I’m gonna try this. I wanna resaw the billet into thirds, then twist & book match the middle section, and restack them. I think it’d be cool to have a variation between the pattern of the blade and the tang. This video got my creative juices flowing, thanks!
Hey didint think I'd find you here
Did it work ?
That was probably the best steel pattern I've ever seen. Outstanding work, mate :)
I LOVE that OG Toy Machine sticker on your band saw!
You are doing a GREAT JOB man. AWESOME !!!
Came out beautiful!

Hands down one of THE MOST beautiful knifes I've seen on youtube so far, ngl. AMAZING job! Congrats man, keep it up!
That's a Lady.

Knife turned out hella dope, HANS!
What a stunning blade!
Whats a beautiful Damascus. Realy nice. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the first time I have seen a blacksmith cut the canister off. Usually I see people paint the can inside white or use another sacrificial material that will not weld. I now wonder about the pros and cons to each approch.
Because the container is too long and is directly detached from the container, poor welding will occur because there are only steel balls in the container. My approach was more cumbersome. Each has its pros and cons, and there are different choices available in different situations.
@@HansKnives If you have access to a mill, this is the only way to do it! Grinding and/or cutting the can off is always a pain. @danielstellmon5330 Since there’s no powdered steel filling in the gaps, you’ve really gotta compress this all the way through or you’ll have nasty inclusions through the middle of the billet. Forge welding the can to the BBs is the only way I can see this working without powdered steel, so a sacrificial layer in between would be counterproductive.
I know nothing about making knives other than forged in fire but this is very cool
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! ️
Beautiful knife mister beautifully made good job
That’s the coolest knife I’ve ever seen
Oddly satisfying watching metal work
Великолепно. Изумительная работа и узор.
Great video. I would love a little more information within each step in regards to the equipment and material you use to help create this beauty. Thanks for sharing
Tireless craftmanship, thanks for sharing.
Hella dope knife, HANS!
Beautiful knife,amazing pattern
You are the best - this is perfect and exquisite in every way! 😍⭐️💫👌🏻
I know it's probably not its purpose but it looks like a beautiful thrower with ring for spinning on your finger. great knife
Good job, love the work
Thats pretty cool man
Shurap has done this. This is my favorite pattern on knives. Genius that you used the mill to remove the canister. I wish I owned a press I would make my own. Excellent work!
Except Hans adds handles
The hydraulic press was made by me. Thank you for your support.
@@HansKnives Would you consider making a video showing the press and what you learned from doing it? Or if you followed a guide or schematic, could you point us to the right direction? I've been collecting a bunch of blueprints for it and weighing pros and cons of different designs - yours looks very well thought out!
Amazing. I love it. It's a very beautiful knife. ~Kevin
WoW Amazing work, can't believe that nice work !!
Also the silent press is much more civilized that a pounding hammer. Love it
Beautiful work ❤
Stunning!
A beautiful blade! The final coffee etch truly sets off the Damascus pattern. (Bonus points for rocking the Toy Machine sticker on the bandsaw!) Keep doing what you do 👍‼️
Thank you ！bro
I loved how it turned out in the end but idk if someone saw the amount of power to made this single knife it’s just A LOT
This is beautiful. We’ll done.
pretty frickin sick dude
Omg this knife is a real beauty
I was glad to see that you chamfered the end cap. 👍🏼
Also, milling the billet is so much easier than grinding it off like so many do!
Stunning!!
your press is shockingly soothing to listen to haha...
Fascinating work
Sigue subiendo más videos como estos buen contenido 🤝🫂
Hi, great job, I applaud your skill and thank you for the video and I want to ask you to kindly take a review of your grinder
Absolutamente fantástico o trabalho
Menakjubkan. Sungguh luar biasa 👍.
Well done!
Love the cat in the background 😭 13:57
Like the pattern. Very nice.
A real beauty!! 💯⬆️
Real life Kunai! Amazing skill!
Amazing free hand grinding 👍👍👍
ı've never seen like that knife İTS BEATİFULLLLL
Used to have a set of G4 Stryker throwing knives. Looked almost identical to the profile of this knife
I like to make Damascus steel. But it's a really good one. I watched it up to the end.
it is very pretty, but not damascus. it's pattern welded.
Thanks for explaining @@louiscyfer6944
What kind of fluid did you use for the acid etch? Looks beautiful!
When I saw you start without adding powder to the cannister, I feared the worst! But you got that thing really hot and properly crushed it! Great great work! Sorry for doubting you! Lol
Perfect!
Awesome! Wonder how the pattern would have turned out if you'd have shaken the balls in graphite powder beforehand.
A very well crafted knife ….i like it very much …..Alex🇬🇷
one of thee best counter strike knifes
And this is why good knives are expensive
Very good .Good luck.
Which ball bearings did you use? This looks awesome!
Awesome knife 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice job
Impressive!
beautiful knife
What an amazing piece of steel! I think it belongs to a forge master named Isaac. Now waiting for a hammer Hector could use...
those metal inserts you use on the forge hammer to hammer squares, are they loose or is this so that they wont get stuck when they expand due to heat?
Gorgeous ✋
Beautiful 👌
That's awesome! What kind of steel was the ball bearings?
Wish to watch more and more videos!
A Beautiful Blade 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is that handle finished? Absolutely love the blade
Wish I had skills like that
Whew did you source these ball bearings? I haven't been able to find any in carbon steel with nickel coating.
7 previous attempts, finally a win I'm guessing it was worth all the f ups before, to get this extremely good looking blade , much respect, is it for sale,
What are the dark flakes made from, and do they constitute a loss of overall mass?
Knife is beautiful 😉😉
