Thanks for yet another awesome video Skall!!! While I am no blacksmith, I am actually able to follow your rather technical discussion and already understand a good deal of what you discussed. :) My modern take on a wakizashi has an extended grip allowing me to use two hands for better control in my old age. I have my 1095 KaBar at roughly 57 rockwell with the extended 9" blade and composite handle for most hard use cutting tasks. It can cut through a steel belted radial tire and after a trip to the strop is still shaving sharp. I've had it several years and never needed to sharpen, only strop it. Then I have a 7cr17 MoV bladed stainless bowie that I tend to use in the kitchen even though I bought it for field food prep. It's somewhere in the low to mid 50's rockwell. I have my 'old faithful' Buck 119 pattern in 420 stainless. The 420 requires the most sharpening maintenance but is also the easiest blade to resharpen. Then there's my Kukri that gets most of it's use chipping up Mesquite branches into little bits to add to my gas grill for that little extra Mesquite flavor. the Windlass ad said 'high carbon steel' but did not give the specs. I would guess it falls somewhere in the 1070 to 1085 range as it's cut more Mesquite branches than I can count and that bastard is still shaving sharp! Most of my general purpose blades are 440 stainless, AUS-8, 7cr17 or better. I've been looking at some new blades in D-2 tool steel which I didn't hear either of you mention. I have no practical experience using D-2 so I was hoping to hear more about it. Maybe next time. :) I heard you mention differential hardening which I used to think was just for katana swords. However, I've seen quite a few videos of smiths using clay binding and other methods of differential heat treat and it looks hard to do but has rewarding results. In fact, I think if I were to ever spend more than $100 on a blade it would be differentially heat treated rather than the hard steel wrapped and forge welded in mild steel San Mai technigue. Any input you have on these thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks again! :)

@@someonenotfunny9823 actually.... lol. spring steel requires maintenance dude-know why coil springs are all coated? because spring steel rusts. "spring steel" only means that the steel has sufficient carbon content where it can be hardened and then tempered into a spring. its not more complex than that.
@someonenotfunny98233 жыл бұрын
@@fettmaneiii4439 While you are correct in that it requires maintenance, it does require much less maintenance than that of other steels, particularly when comparing it to high carbon steels. What also sets it apart from the competition is its combination of manganese, sulfur and silicone content, giving it its unique properties which allow it to be called spring steel in the first place. Spring steel is also used in aircraft landing gear and other heavy duty, long lasting equipment, and its used there for a reason, its why they don't just coat and temper the other metals in its place. Not to say that spring steel is the best katana metal, it just usually fits the prerequisites of durability of what most people want from their longer blades, especially with the added bonus of chromium on the 5160 variant of spring steel, although a little rarer for swordsmiths however. It is a little more complicated than you give credit i'm afraid.

Yes thank you!!!! Finally, I knew I wasnt wrong. And that's why 5160 has always been my favorite steel. Great video, highly informative. And extremely helpful. 100 percent agree with everything U guys said. cant beat affordable, and highly durable well forged 5160. It is the best value for your money. since I bought my darksword medieval knight bastard sword last year, and seen a tfw weapon in action, I have been so impressed with 5160 steel. Short story- I made mistake and bought 4 swords from darksword armory website. and I paid extra for sharpening services from darksword armory website also. Spent a ton of money and when the 1st 2 came in, I sent ranting email, only For them to tell me it past the paper test hahaha, anyway long story short, I had to re sharpen all 4 swords I ordered from darksword, by myself. Scratched my favorite one,the bastard, made it too sharp, but did very well on other 3. that steel though. holy crap it took forever with accusharp, and sandpaper but I sharpened all 4(bastard, g.messer,waylander,14 century medieval knights sword-wide blade with profile tapering to a more acute tip has fuller length 3/4 of the blade) to a razor sharp edge with no scratches. Cant believe I was able to do that without vice grip and without scratching them. but after I sharpened that sword properly, it has been my favorite sword I own. I have accidentally smacked against solid wood posts many times, and concrete, dropped it so many times, I have intentionally and unintentionally beat the hell out of that sword for a year and, nothing. That 5160 Blade absorbs shock, resists corrosion and holds its edge like no other blade I own. Love 5160. Love darksword blades(as long as they're sharpened from Kult of athena) I reccomend traditional Filipino weapons of course with the 5160/d2 tool steel mix. Which is the best mix I've seen yet for the price. D2 is the Same steel on my kleins journey linemen pliers(im electrician). So u will be satisfied 5160/d2 tfw weapon. I reccomend both tfw qnd dsa(from koa) for beautiful high quality "affordable" blades that will last forever. Just make sure to order darksword swords from kult of Athena, never order sword off darksword website. Never order their sharpening services. Just look at website for products,then leave website and go over to kult of athena to check for darksword sword availability. I had to find that out the hard way. Took me 5 purchases and many angry emails to darksword before I realized they're not gonna change the quality of sharpening services and go to k.o.a

After lots of consideration, I've come to the realization that it really depends on blades geometry and while there are some over all best steels they all have some trade offs that can make one better over the other. And it gets quite complex. Given there are lots of variables. And depends entirely on if it's spring tempered and hardened or only edge hardened. Intended targets also make use of it.

What is the best steel for functional battle axes ? Forged or carbon steel.

Talking of differential hardening I've often wondered if on 4 example my favourite sword the hand and a half could it be good to have the false edge a bit softer for taking blade to blade impacts and the front edge hard and sharp for the killing strike or would that just defeat the purpose of a double edged blade 🤷♂️

Is monotemper just done for simplicity and cost, or is it actually better for some reason? Would seem that different tempering has a lot of advantages, but I’d assume it’s a lot more work to do.

Well, I was researching swords that you can buy in US for long time enough that I finally understood that it is the best for money and quality (not the looks) to go to the point I started from - order from Russia. Their steel swords are always battle ready (cause they use it widely for buhurts and full contact duels), always 1065 and 50hrc, and price depends purely on look and size.

I bought a Katana from Kult of Athena. It's made of 1045 carbon steel. One thing that troubles me is that, by accident I hit the ceiling fan and the edge was damaged. I fixed it with a grinding stone and it is almost not visible anymore. But this made me question the heat treatment. I wonder if I would have had the same damage with a 1095 or a stainless steel blade.

Does it help repair a stress in the blade by re-tempering at 400f ?

What would be the best kind of metal and heat treatment for a tanto?

I would be curious to hear what he'd do if he were going to make the best sword that he could possibly make and how much would it be worth, etc.
