I was just about to say that I’ve seen this done better. I once thought about trying to make Damascus patterns and then I saw Kyle Royer’s channel and I thought “what’s the point” he brings it up just to the point of looking ridiculous but still classy. This one here is a bit wonky.
Agreed. Some of Royer’s patterns I’m not a huge fan of, some of them are absolutely stunning, but I’ve never seen one and thought it looked over the top silly or like mall ninja shit.
The one in this video just kind of rubs me the wrong way and I can’t really say why. I guess like others have said, they worked really hard to make it somehow look cheap
I think it’s the canister Damascus aspect… all the stupid balls, weird shapes, and/or powdered metals.. seems cheap. It looks like this took a great amount of craftsmanship but starting off with that… seems cheap.
Right. I respect the skill and work that goes into it, but that doesn’t count for much if the result doesn’t look good. I mean it’s probably a decent blade at least, provided they used the right steel for it

Agree
A more nature pattern looks much better.
