Making a Damascus Knife with Guitar Strings (FULL VIDEO)

I mostly watch knife makers at the moment, and found your channel through the chisel restoration video, so finding this was a nice surprise. Holly made a beautiful blade, and watching her sand the spine and choil shows that she takes care to ensure that it's actually comfortable to use, too. Seeing the effort that goes in to making what is honestly also one of the most beautiful knife handles I've seen gave me a new appreciation for what is possible in the craft, and for the cost involved in high end knives with meticulous woodwork. Brilliant collab and end product!

I'm a player in OHIO and I just found your channel. Impressive, I'm a fan for life! Keep going💚💚😎 great knife also...

Those shops you're working in are a dream for any maker!! Having the right tools just makes the creative process so much more efficient. Great knife!

If Holly gets on YT I can promise at least 1 subscriber. You ladies did an awesome job. Big congratulations to you both as individuals and as a team.

I'm so stoked to see female makers on youtube thriving! I want my daughter to know she can take on a trade if she chooses and that there is no gender to craftmanship!

I think this is the only knife-making video where the handle was formed using proper woodworking tools and skills. Beautiful handle, beautiful knife!

Very cool. As a musical instrument maker, who also makes lots of his own tools, I applaud the workswomanship here. What a great tool you've created. cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott

Nice pattern! It looks more organic and natural than other damascus seen on Youtube. It looks more like wood grain, stone or something else. Geometric patterning, like for example the works of Kyle Royer, can of course look more "splendid" or "luxurious", but this creates an ancient and mysterious feel to it that I like. It is like it has a soul.

I've seen a lot of similar videos but as a woodworker I never quite understand what is going on with the metalworking side of things. I liked how the process was explained in this video and learned a ton from it. Also as a photography nerd I have to say the camera work and editing is quite nice.

Wow really impressed. It's so nice to see women interested in knife making, blacksmithing, woodworking etc. You guys did a fantastic job on that knife. She did a wonderful job on the blade and you did a beautiful job in that handle and they both came together wonderfully. Really impressed.

This is still one of the best things ever. You ladies both did a great job and I'll be watching this more than once.

I met Holly in Atlanta she is extremely talented and makes beautiful knives! Well done both of you!

all I could think at the end was "god DAMN, this is some proper artisan work by both of you."

The contrast of nickel and steel is soo beautiful!

It was such a pleasure watching you two artists put this project together. Great job, both of you.

You've created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. GREAT WORK!

Often watching this type of vid, I am impressed by the ornate handle solutions people make. Yours is actually gorgeous because of it's simplicity. Not even rivits to break the lines. Very well done.

Utterly stunning, and a perfect way of recycling dead strings, love it

I've seen a lot of blacksmithing and woodworking and knifemaking videos, but this was fresh and unique. I think I'll be sticking around. Such a cool process and product!

You girls are so real, you rock ! The knife turned out amazing, nice work
