In this video, I take an old steel timing chain from a car engine and transform it into a beautiful and fully functional Damascus-style knife. From cutting and welding the chain into a billet, to forging, heat treating, grinding, etching, and creating a custom handle — this is the full knife-making process from scrap to sharp!
