To be compleatly honest, I wasnt expecting much when I clicked onto this video. However, seeing how much work you put in, the time you took, and how you handled it all really impressed and surpirsed me. I'm not some blacksmith or anything, but I can tell some serious work went into this. I knew that this was going to be good when i saw how you cut the tops of all of the nails off, as it really showed that you didn't cut corners. Great job man.

@@Mr.Red_D Most likely borax or some other flux. It's used in welding for preventing oxidization in the metal, but also commonly in forging. You see it a lot in layering or varying metal builds such as Damascus patterns. Helps the material stay together and form properly.

Just thought I would share something I learned from a documentary about samurai swords: Apparently, the way they get the swords to bow is by having a different metal in the center that applys tension when the sword is cooled, like a bi-metallic thermometer. This internal spring tension makes the sword stronger.

[@saitama2467]

This is true

[@azazeres2917]

It's not really a "different metal", it's the fact that the application of clay to the spine of the blade allows it to cool slower, therefore becoming longer. Yes, the edge has a higher carbon content, but the thermal expansion of different carburizations of the same base steel have negligible differences. The mechanical properties of the steel are different, but the spine of the blade will still harden if quenched without clay. Other than that, this is an excellent summary.

@@azazeres2917 did you see the documentary in question? It sounds like you have a better understanding of the process than my fallible memory. 😀 If that's all it takes to put steel under tension, I hope more blacksmithing enthusiasts utilize the technique. The light bulb for me was putting steel under tension, it made me wonder if the same could be done in other fields, like construction.

[@FireBeam]

@@azazeres2917 wait, is that a typo on your part? The rear of the blade, or "spine" is shorter, causing the distinctive bow and putting the sword under tension.

@@clement9782 I would argue that their statement may have applied to the degree of how breathtaking and wonderful they felt. There is also the possibility that they can’t describe how they felt specifically and that breathtaking and wonderful were the only 2 words close to what could possibly be their explanation. There is also the perfect argument that sometimes we ourselves cannot exactly describe a sensation with pin point accuracy and therefore rely on words that are closest to describing that sensation. Edit: Using the words closest to describe a sensation do not necessarily mean that the words have already met the condition of describing a sensation perfectly.

This is not I slight in any means but something I’ve read that I thought was interesting. In Japan they don’t make the blade into the handle quite like this, the blade and handle are held together by a pin that will break in order to protect the blade. It’s the reason Samurai would flick their katanas after a battle, to check the pin was still in contact.

Is nobody concerned about the holes and porosity along the whole surface of the katana? After the first polishing (7:16), they seemed like they were quite deep. I guess they might be caused due to the empty spaces between nails and guess it might be avoided if you would bended it over itself a few times while forging, taking out air and debris. After revealing the damascus pattern, they are less noticeable but I'm not sure how well it will stand against hits or accidental fall-offs. Considering the tip of the blade was cut-off and hammered to shape, it might break easier than if bent and hammered respecting the whole Damascus inner structure. I also missed some cutting tests after finishing the edge to check whether it is such a razor blade. In case this is just for decoration, this is a nice and beautiful job. Anyway, congratulations also on the idea of nails which took me here in the first place.

Out of curiosity, why did you cut the heads of the nails off? To make them sit more evenly when welded?

[@PGIFilms]

I was wondering the same thing. I think a lot of time an energy could have been saved simply by alternating the direction of the nails, odd numbered nails with heads on the left and even numbered nails with heads on the right. I think the completed welded "sheets" would still have been relatively flat and by alternating the direction of each sheet they would stack relatively even with each other to assemble the same kind of fairly squared "ingot" to work with. I'm more inclined to agree with your second question that cutting off the heads were so that would lay completely flat with less potential for movement during welding. Technically to weld the nails in the alternating pattern I previously mentions you would need something like a bar of 1084 seen at the 3:25 mark that you can lay the nails across allowing for the lengths of them to rest even with each other on the flat of the bar while the wider heads could overhang the edges of the bar without touching the welding table.

[@yourstrulylocal3673]

From what I know, I believe he used "Ram-Set" Nails, which are a heavier duty, and harder, nail used in a Ram-Set driver to bind things to concrete, and cutting those heads would make for a more even billet

On the subject of swords, does anyone know where to get some good curtains? You know... for home decor?

[@blueredlover1060]

I heard using nails for a sword and thought canister Damascus would be the pick. This is even better.

Admirable work, the precision and skill you employ is stunning. I do have to mention though, we need to stop calling these "Damascus steel". The actual recipe and pattern for Damascus steel is not currently known anymore, and anything resembling it made today is a guess at most. I get that it brings in interest, but most people don't know about the actual meaning of Damascus steel and they can be fooled by incorrect labeling of it.

[@refrigeratorNO]

I'm not sure how to phrase this but I'll do my best. Is it truly not Damascus steel? I understand that it's not what it originally was, however it is what one generally expects when one says that something is Damascus. It's akin to language, a word is defined by it's use, not by the dictionary. The definition of words change over time and a dictionary is meant to explain that use, not the other way around. Sorry that this was a bit of a tangent and may not actually Make sense.

[@DS_DoggerX]

@@refrigeratorNO Damascus steel refers to a historical technique used for a certain type of pattern welded steel. I normally would agree with your points, if this were not just pattern welding advertised as Damascus steel. People are fascinated by the idea of Damascus steel because of its rarity. It's easy to get views by throwing the term around. Problem is, pattern welded steel is already pretty cool. There is no need to lie about what it is. If someone manages to unearth the recipe for Damascus steel, it would be truly amazing. But no matter how much the term gets misused, Damascus steel is a type of pattern welding, and not all pattern welding is Damascus.

@@DS_DoggerX a traditionalist and a modernist cross paths...

[@daedalusmedia]

A fairly consistent distinction is made between the lost art of Wootz Damascus and modern pattern welded Damascus. The term Damascus for pattern welded steel is used by ABS and other bladesmithing organizations.

[@the_chungus_humongous]

@@DS_DoggerX true damascus steel has nothing to do with any form of pattern welded steel. the pattern on true damascus blades forms from the microstructure of the blade itself because of rare minerals in the steel such as vanadium. the recipe for true damascus steel has never been lost. we have the recipe today. people have made true damascus blades and replicas in modern times.
