Building An Expensive Knife

Video Description

This Bowie knife took me around 2 months of full-time work to complete—and I’ve packed the entire build into one fast-paced, 50-minute video. If you’re into forging, Damascus patterns, Bowies, or metalworking in general, you’re going to love this. From raw steel to a fully finished $15,000 knife, every step is here: forging, grinding, heat treating, handle shaping, and final assembly. Grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy the full build from start to finish. Thanks for watching! 🔧 Recommended Tools & Supplies: Check out the gear I personally use and recommend for knife making: 👉 https://www.kyleroyerknives.com/recommended Learn how to make knives: https://www.learnknifemaking.com/ YouTube ~ https://www.youtube.com/kyleroyerknives​ Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/kyleroyerknives Website ~ https://www.kyleroyerknives.com/​ 00:00 – Intro 00:26 – Starting the Damascus Build 06:40 – Forging the Blade Shape 12:58 – Heat Treating & Rockwell Hardness Test 15:09 – The Performance Test 18:35 – Forging the Damascus Fittings 26:44 – Frame Handle Shaping & Fit-Up 36:39 – Heat Treating the Fittings 39:42 – Etching Blade & Fittings 43:20 – Final Assembly & Handle Pins 46:18 – Finished Bowie Showcase #DamascusKnife #KnifeMaking #BowieKnife Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected] All other inquiries: [email protected]
