Turning Rusty Small Files into a Sharp Dagger knife

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Thank you all for watching.

[@noctismortis7349]

Could you do an in-depth presentation on your setup? I want to know what you use for a blower, the kind of fuel you use (I assume charcoal), how your furnace works, what exactly your crucibles are made out of, etc. Thanks! In any event keep making these crucible steel videos.

[@noctismortis7349]

also, what is that slurry and scraper you use to "sand" the knives?

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Cast iron lap

[@unknownperson6838]

Where did you get the materials for the crucible??

[@fz-makingknives3663]

the Internet

[@majesticbonsai6464]

I love your videos! Could you do a tutorial on exact products, ingredients, measurements, and temperatures for making wootz steel ? Your current videos on the subject are great but still leave some questions remaining. Thank you again for your wonderful videos and sharing your knife making skills.

[@weiyuan20]

Agreed!

[@charliebowen5071]

It’s not wootz or. Watered steel... sorry it’s a laminate bar...

[@Masterfighterx]

@@charliebowen5071 Can't comment on if it would be categorized as wootz or not, he takes files into a crucible instead of ore, but it doesn't look like he ever folds the steel, and the pattern in the steel at the end is how actual Damascus (Wootz) steel would look like, it's the alloys within the steel showing.

[@sambaggins2798]

All I can say is wow. That’s a beautiful knife. Being able to repurpose old files and have it all turn out so great. You are an artist!

[@preauxtip]

I'm just catching up to your channel and your results with crucible steel are incredible. In the few papers I've seen published on the subject it's often carbide precipitating alloy elements like vanadium that are believed to be one of the critical ingredients to forming the pearlite-carbide banding that is seen on classic wootz damascus. With your use of old tool steels do you know whether or not these contain trace amounts of vanadium or other alloying elements? Also I see you are adding additional carbon in the form of graphite during the crucible process to what I assume is already high carbon tool steels. Do you have any idea of the final carbon content of your steel?

[@fz-makingknives3663]

Yes. Our ingots have approximately 1.6 percent carbon
