Such a cool pattern! That was so interesting how you formed the tip of the sword. At first I didn't know why you were cutting into the metal, then it all made sense. My guess is that the Demarcus steel section wasn't hardenable steel? Or was it just for the look because that sword definitely looks amazing!
@13thwoodsong7 жыл бұрын
This is done so that the edge of the blade is the same steel all along up to the point, instead of transitioning from monosteel to the pattern-welded core up near the tip, I believe. Whether the Damascus section is hardenable or not is not the main concern here - at least that's my understanding.

Any idea on how one would cut out the tip back in the day before grinders were a thing?
@joshholdren81587 жыл бұрын
neovictorius it was probably done differently than forge welding the tip together as he did. Not only would it have been hard to cut, it would waste material that's already expensive. They, I assume, probably forge welded the cutting edge steel around the pattern welded section, and then drew it out to a sword.

What was this you used for grinding in min 14:42 ? A stone? Thanks, one Day I will try to forge a pattern welded sword... today I forged a dagger :) Subbed and liked, of course! Greetings from Germany, Edgar
@freerkwieringa2757 жыл бұрын
the liquid is a borax solution, it is a flux that helps with the welding of the steel layers, the grinding help is a file ,a very crude one to get even fuller line. the dagger is the true blade smiths bench mark if you can get it right you can make everything.
@edgarderschmied44977 жыл бұрын
Thanks, interesting with the borax solution, I use borax for welding too, but in powder form. Maybe I will try it with the solution next time, it sounds very interesting.
