Watched the vid and didn't hear that. Loved his exuberance and enthusiasm. Both seemed to genuinely love what they are doing. More power to them!

In today's mass produced world this sort of skill is only likely to survive in the hands of a very small number of craftsman. I'm not against mass produced, it has given good quality tools to the masses at affordable prices. But if slick videos like this is how these craftsman need to promote their products so they can feed their kids then that's fine by me. If they can make a few dollars from youtube then that's fine as well.
I had heard of Damascus steel but did not know detail of it until today. Spent 2 hours watching youtube this morning after reading the above post. I appreciate the opportunity to view this type of craft on youtube and learn about it.

it's right near the start. something like "sent across to Canada"


I must admit that I find the use of Ebony for the handle to be more than a bit extravagant.

Should have said I heard it the second time It is a lot of fuss over a pseudo Japanese chisel, however well it was made.
