Damascus Steel of Stacked Surgical Blades *Experiment*

Join me in this project as I try to make damascus steel using surgical blades. This time I experimented with a different way of stacking the blades inside the canister, arranging them neatly.
To conclude this project, I combined the canister damascus with a single layer of K720 steel, resulting in a ni-mai (two-layer) billet crafted specifically for a single bevel chef's knife.
A huge shoutout to SHADOWFOAM for generously providing the blades, making this project possible. Explore their innovative products here:

    • It was iur please! Been excited to see this! That represents around 200 of our videos worth of scalpel blades right there 🔥

  • Love that you are showing the imperfections of knife making!! It really shows that you truly are an expert as you are not afraid of showing off work you aren't proud of. Most other channels would never admit to any kind of failed effort, but here you are a step above the rest! Thanks for the watch.

I'm happy that you posted this video, because it shows that damascus making does not always go the way you want it to.

  • A man wiser than me once said: "If you fail at something, it's a golden opportunity to fail every possible way you can think of." He meant exactly what you did. If it already went sideways, then why not use it as a test bed for new ideas, tools, and methods. :)

  • I’m not so sure the delamination is a result of the composition of the razors but due to how thin your canister was, if you review your footage you can see the canister cool below a white hot by the time you got to the end of the billet, if you increase the mass it should hold a welding temperature throughout the pressing process. Just an observation

    • I was thinking it might be welding the two parts without sanding them down first. Too much possibility for tiny air pockets to expand, and you get the delam.

  • Perhaps alternating the points on each layer? Like one layer with the points facing North, the next layer with them pointing South, or maybe do 2 layers in one direction, then the next 2 layers in another?

  • Makes sense that the blades are just high-carbon steel; they're not meant to be used for very long. It could be a lot of work, but you might be able to cut the blades in half so there isn't a hole in them and just weld them together directly. Looking forward to the follow-up!
