I Forged a Uzbek Style Damascus Knife out of 34 Needles In this video, I take you on an unforgettable blacksmithing journey where I forge one of my most unique and sharpest blades yet — a traditional Uzbek-style Damascus knife created from 34 sewing needles! This project pushed the limits of my creativity and skill as a bladesmith. Using a handful of discarded steel needles, I layered and forge-welded them into a solid billet, then carefully forged it into a beautiful and razor-sharp blade. This knife not only tells a story through its Damascus steel pattern, but it also showcases the incredible potential of upcycling everyday metal into a high-performance tool. This is not just a knife. This is hand-forged art.

Why This Knife is Special Forging a blade from 34 steel needles is not something you see every day. This unique material created an unexpected and mesmerizing Damascus pattern. The blade is incredibly sharp — possibly the sharpest axe-style edge I’ve made this year — and the knife reflects both ancient Central Asian traditions and modern forging techniques. The Uzbek style blade has a rich cultural history, often used for cooking, utility, and craftsmanship. This style has a distinct curve and blade geometry, perfect for both cutting precision and durability.
