Loved this whole build. Love your work. Watching season 2 of FiF, watching your work on the Khopesh and Burt Foster on the Shotel; it’s why I make Damascus blades now. Those two blades made me fall in love with this craft.

With the Bob Smith epoxy, I’ve been using medium cure, should I switch to the slow cure? Are the properties better for blade handles?

I love how clean and smooth your work is. These old industrial tools are also awesome. I always feel like I can pick something up when watching your vids. You do fantastic work.

I appreciate you finishing . . . MY . . . knife. I'm looking forward to receiving it this next week. :D

Very beautiful blade

Salem- your work is utterly fantastic. I wish you would consider attending the ABS knife show in Atlanta. I would love to see your work in person. 13:37

You blow my mind

holy shit! thats the coolest knife i'v ever seen!

Very little difference. If you keep cutting then the cucumbers actually push each other off the blade and it doesn’t matter what the grind is.

I must say, that is the finest creation with steel I have ever seen. 🍻

This is the perfect power hammer restoration hype film for me

Looking good Have you ever tried applying Petroleum Jelly vasaline Anywhere you don't want the epoxy to stick. Saves a lot of time on cleaned up.

I'm jealous. I have a 150lb Ken Mankell anvil mountedon some 2x12x12 i toppedoff with 6" of particleboard for the anvilto sit on. Made this base over 25 years ago & still holding up like new. Love the ring when I'm working on it. Though i do put a weight on the horn when working for a long time on it. Please show more videos like this. I like to see how pros work to improve their shops.

nice new addition to the shop Salem this past spring i picked up a hobart iron man 250 in near mint condition for $900 the guy who bought it new never ran gas through it, just fluxcore wire that anvil is in nice shape will do the job take care Mark

Love the shop! Wish I had access to half the tools. Congrats on the new to you toy tool toyol 😉 anvil 🙌🏻

As I expected, nice work! Great addition to the shop, and happily you had the tooling to make the stand.

Would it help if you welded a bottom onto it and then filled the entire pipe with oil soaked sand? I know it'd make it a real chore to move anywhere but I'd imagine you could have a guy swinging a 15lbs sledge as a striker and it wouldn't wander anywhere as well lol.

An anvil should be mounted on a large hardwood block.Why file sand before welding.I think your very new to metalworking and self taught.Shame no training

I’m actually in the beginning stages of a new ground up press build (24 ton)

Nice anvil, and a good stand to go with it as well 👍. Regards from Down Under.

Salem, at about 18.55 when you laying out "grip length" at 4" are you measuring from the heel/back of the blade to the widest point on the handle? and also, am I seeing it right that the angle break on the bottom of the handle is a bit forward of the break on the the top of the handle? This is good stuff man. I appreciate you going into this much detail.

Thanks so much. Learned a lot about a better way to do my milling. 🙏

Thanks for the interesting video much appreciated

Gonna be some tight twist patterns in the future - looking forward to it

Absolutely gorgeous knife, especially that handle! Do you have a website? Oh and what grind is on that knife? A s Grind?

ok but have you tried just using your hands??

Ebony has so much natural density and oil, I can't imagine it absorbed any Cactus Juice. Stabilization wasn't needed. That blade looks nimble and slicey. Drop dead gorgeous.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I would love to know what the machine engine power and rpm? and what the rpm and torque obtained after the gear? Thanks

Its wild how clean and uniform it twisted that bar. Definitely worth the fab work. Great job!

Im curious how much life do you get out of the belt on the converted surface grinder? Are you able to get quite a few cuts since its doing minimal stock removal or do you have to replace often? Thanks for sharing Salem. Ive definitely got a bit of shop envy hahaha lol but its always fun seeing you use your toys. 👍

Sweet!!! Not much more to say except thanks for posting

Wow nice job! Are you getting rid of the other machine? I am guessing yes to free up some space. It is always nice to get two uses out of the same machine and square footage. You have all the toys, it is quite enviable!

Been needing to do up an apparatus for that same thing ,I’ve got a few ideas and combined with some of this I can do up something slick Hell yeah

That’s a fantastic knife, definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen, you’re no doubt one of the best knife makers on the globe! Regards from Down Under.

Damn all that fractional math gave me a headache. Years ago when I finished my apprenticeship I was offered a chance to work in the US and the fractional stuff stopped me from going. I love metric

👍

Simplicity and raw horsepower sure did a number on that billet. All said and done, its probably the least sketchy bar twister I've seen made on youtube!

What a beast! It would be interesting to cut that test piece down the center and etch it, just to see if there are any striations that show up in the etch even though it's mono.

Awesome, makes me jealous of my little twister that struggles at ¾-⅞. Looking forward to seeing that thing spin some big stock 👍

How much difference in pattern between the sizes is there actually?

Works well, just need some speed control.

Awesome brotha!

Salem i absolutely love your work sir, you have been an inspiration to me for years. Thank you for all the great info and content you put out there ive learned alot following your work.

Is there a reason you wouldn’t just make the three end mill holes and then swap to the drill bit to make them deeper. Would save swapping them so often.

Gorgous chef knife Salem amazing i love it

Sad to hear you won't make that pattern again, it's stunning, and fits aesthetically with the handle very nicely.

Man I would love to come and learn from you. I’d sleep in tent and clean your shop for free and do all the stuff you don’t wanna do, just so that I could learn everything you know.

Salem that knife is amazing i love the wrought pattern looks like tree bark i havent tried a handle that way yet affraid ill mess it up , lol could you possibly do a how to video on sculpting a chef handle thanks Mark

Very nice. I'm down in ne oregon bro.

WOW!!!!! The combination of the mosaic damascus and Ebony is fantastic.
