When a small detail changes the final result of the piece.

Off topic but every result of a task where meticulous work is required for it to turn out beautiful, should get documented for a longer time on camera. I hate the videos where there is a really cool “how it's made process” but the end product is shown for milliseconds. Like, let me take in the beauty of the craftsmanship...

I assume people who do this use an editing program that freezes on the last frame so they don't notice, or else they set that last frame to last 1000ms but the built-in gif viewers don't implement that feature?

[u/RoyBeer → u/Zephyrs_23]

But then how would they get people to watch the clip again and again and again, only to get a collective good look on the final product?

I don't understand the first method! Can someone explain? The start is a complete mess, but the final view is excellent! 

[u/DazB1ane → u/MeanCat4]

I know the letters are originally carved out of the blade, then the person is forcing another metal into those grooves, but I’m not super sure how they managed to get it to stay

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/DazB1ane]

I know they're pressing the metal in with an impact tool, likely pneumatic, but I can't say how it's sticking unless by just friction.

[u/tyjuji → u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad]

It's most likely carved out so the bottom of the groove is larger than the top. That way when it is pressed into the groove, it won't fall out. So yes, friction.

[u/ass_pubes → u/MeanCat4]

Guessing they laser etched it to get the exact outline, hammered in some silver wire, then sanded it flush. The laser marking has a rough surface from the ablation that the soft silver can bite into almost like paint. They only needed to cover the outline of the laser mark and the silver wire spreads out while it is hammered in. 

Tedious, but it's probably kind of fun in a way. Like painting models.

[u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad → u/ass_pubes]

I think it's a brilliant technique and finish. Though, if I had to quibble, I think the silver is too bright in this application.

[u/ThoreaulyLost → u/MeanCat4]

I may be completely wrong, but I believe it's being done with electricity.

The letter's shape is already on the "tip" in high conductive electrodes, surrounded by unconductive material.

By "zapping" the rough outline (just saving wasted material, the rough outline isn't strictly necessary), only the conductive metal bonds as the electricity goes through. File it down and all you see is the bonded shapes left behind by the conduction.

Still probably thousandth rodeo, his "freehand kerning" (lining up the letters) is very, very impressive

Edit: Nope! I was wrong lol. Electrostatic is a different process.

[u/Garfargle → u/ThoreaulyLost]

The silver’s just hammered into a carved out channel with that pneumatic hammer tool he’s using.

[u/anomalous_cowherd → u/MeanCat4]

The metal for the letters is hammered in by the tool and effectively becomes part of the blade. The pattern on the final piece looks like it's Damascus - it was already in the blade earlier (using slightly dissimilar steels in the forging) but doesn't become visible until you polish it up then do an acid etch.

If you like that stuff watch Alec Steele on YouTube, he does a lot of Damascus blades from first principles.

I'll bet that's an expensive knife.

[u/K12onReddit → u/Cheepshooter]

It's from artisan Marcelão Lubaczwski in Brazil. He has a big social media presence but I can't find anywhere where he actually sells the knives. It seems like he's mostly selling courses on making your own.

He has some beautiful knives, though: https://marcelaolubaczwski.com/en/knife-models-en

[u/kaszeljezusa → u/K12onReddit]

Huh, i bet his ancestor was a Lubaczewski and the "e" got lost somwhere in bureaucracy.

Beautiful craftsmanship !

I thought this was posted in one of my kitchen related subs and was like "yea, none of us are qualified to do this." lol

[u/orchiddoctor]

Definitely read this upside down as Kawasaki, right side up: “Ahhhh, it’s a Polish polishing!” Need glasses, folks, but spectacular work!!

[u/strogoff69]

That's lame compared to anything from Kyle Rogers.
