Making a Custom Damascus Kitchen Knife | Knifemaking | Beautiful Steel from Sperber Knives

Hi everyone and welcome back to a new video! I had a ton of fun making this special custom ordered kitchen knife and I'm happy to bring you along with this build! The customer wanted a dark Damascus blade with a completely black handle. I took this opportunity to use African Blackwood for the first time in my life, combined with a deep black G10 spacer. This knife is by far the best one I made yet and overall I'm extremely pleased with the result. Make sure to check out my buddy Raphael from Sperber Knives who forged this amazing 175 layers random Damascus billet for me! Hitting the Thumbs Up and Subscribe button helps me a lot. Thank you for watching! Please tell me what you think about this video and where I can improve. As always - if you've got any questions, ask them! I'm always happy to help out other people as I gained most of my knowledge from YouTube and asking many questions to professionals. ****IF YOU WANT TO ORDER YOUR OWN CUSTOM KNIFE, HIT ME UP WITH A MAIL OR INSTAGRAM DM**** Website: https://spira-knives.jimdosite.com/ Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/SpiraKnives Instagram:   / spira_knives   Have a nice day and keep grinding! About me: My name is Tim and I'm a 21 year old student. I got into knifemaking about two years ago, by watching videos similar to this one. Over the years, I gained some knowledge and last year I built this belt grinder to finally make my own knives. I do sell custom orders, mostly of kitchen knives, if you're interested, follow me on Instagram. My goal is to make inspirational and educating, as well as entertaining videos. I gained almost all my knowledge by watching YouTube videos, so now I want to give something back. If you’ve got a question, feel free to write me a comment or start a conversation with me via my Instagram @spira_knives Future plans: I want to make educational as well as inspirational and entertaining videos. The topics will be setting up my workshop and mostly making knives. A few ideas that I will post soon: ̶a̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶u̶̶n̶̶k̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶a̶̶b̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶c̶̶l̶̶e̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶r̶ (lost all files before I rendered the video) forging a drawknife for woodworking forging a herb chopper building a gas forge (DONE!:D) how I etch my logo -forging a touchmark stamp (DONE) All my builds and machines are low cost but good quality.
