[@rustbucket9318]

I’m far from a professional blade maker but I’ve never heard of quenching Damascus in water. I’d love to see the temper process and see a hardness test. Beautiful tools they are making. All unique and I’d love to have one. Edit: I looked them up and are about a 58 HRC. Pretty hard but with 1095 and 15N20 it should hold up well.

[@SkillSpotter]

Thank you so much for your valuable comment and appreciation. We will make more videos of your interest and also try to do some tests in the video.

[@華生-t6r]

It should be just an imitation of Damascus, the price of the two should be different, commercial...

[@tairobert6377]

58 ... 60 HRC is best Stahl ( 60C² . . )

[@tommern84]

This is beautiful craftsmanship! It is very impressive to know that they actually are hand made and fun to see they are mastering that specific Norse mythology style that spot on !

[@nzs316]

Water quenching can render the steel to be brittle compared to oil quenching. Even oil quenching will render heat treated steel to be brittle. It would require reheating and left to cool gradually to release the tension in the steel. If ever you try it yourself, you can audibly hear the difference between quenching / heating periods. After the first quench, it sounds like tapping glass. After the second heat period it once again regains its metallic qualities. I made a “Huntsman” machete with my son and the whole process was quite rewarding, especially the heat treatment process.

[@shawnpepin7890]

Not even close to a quenching temp... you should be able to see the orange color even in broad daylight

[@andlem]

And doesn't the cutting edge have to be heated again a little (tempered) so that the structure relaxes? Otherwise the cutting edge would be hard but brittle.

[@FlickFreaks]

@@andlem Yes, it's called "tempering". You are correct. After the blades are heated to the proper temperature (which these aren't) the blades is quenched (dunking the mega hot blade in either oil or water). Then after that the blade is heated up again, but not as hot as when the blade was quenched. After a blade is dunked for the quench, the metal becomes extremely hard, but it also becomes extremely brittle. Just like glass. So the tempering allows the metal to soften ever so slightly to relieve that brittleness.

[@agentcovert]

The color has little to do with it overall as we each see color different..the metal has to be heated to a non magnetic state then quenched in 120° to 130° F oil / water..heated to a point the metal is no longer magnetic regardless of color..then heated for 2 cycles to temper at 350° to 400° F each 2 hours long to lower the hardness some..

[@007hellz]

ONLY ever purchase from a reputable smith, find yourself one in your own country, or if you can't check England, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. those smiths are famous for their skill. Especially with blades and weaponry. When it's too hot in summer for me to fire up the forge here in Australia I literally bespoke order tools I need from England and it works out about the same price as buying a middle range tool from a shop here. In fact, if you're a novice, your first attempt at making something will probably be superior quality than the cheap to mid range versions of said tool in a store. Try it and see!
