Lotus Chef for sale- https://www.steltermfg.com/product-page/the-lotus-flower-chef-knife In today’s episode Will wraps up the 11 part series and finishes the Lotus Chefs knife, and 7 1/2 months of work. The Lotus Flower Chef is a culmination of 12 years of blade smithing, three years since the conception, and 7 1/2 months of work. It was a challenge in every aspect, first designing and crafting first of its kind, open die forged mosaic lotus flower Damascus, plug welding them into the 280 layer random pattern Damascus blade, a precise S-grind, double curved integral bolster fit, a sculpted Rooibos handle, inlayed with mother of pearl "Water Bubbles", carved Lotus stem and roots into the grip, and finally a thick sculpted mother of pearl buttcap. Each aspect of this knife was a push and a challenge, and it resulted in a masterpiece. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – Introduction 2:01 – Pearl Dots Design and Drilling 2:30 – Mother of Pearl Butt Cap Shaping 7:23 – Glueing Pearl Dots 10:57 – Sanding 13:49 – In lay Touches 14:07 – Ech 14:54 – Hand Sanding & Buffing 16:10– Second Ech 17:08 – Final Buff 21:16 – Finishing Touches 22:19 – The Big Reveal 22:50– Final Thoughts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👇 Follow the Workshop 📸 Instagram (Will): @will_stelter 🏭 Instagram (Shop): @stelter_mfg 📬 Newsletter- Join Here: 💪 https://www.steltermfg.com/contact Join the Patreon crew and get your name in the video credits + behind-the-scenes access: 👉 https://www.patreon.com/willstelter 🧠 About Stelter Manufacturing We’re a Montana-based forge creating hand-crafted tools and knives built to last a lifetime.
