    • DAMASCUS DOES NOT FUCKING EXSIST. PERIOD. This and every other metal like it are PATTERN WELDED STEEL. Damascus even when it did exsist was a fucking horrible metal. It was beautiful, yes. It could hold a razors edge, yes. However if you dropped it on the fucking ground it would shatter like glass. Why do you think they used silk to demonstrate its sharpness!? Because anything else would chip the edge. Damascus was a decorative steel. It had over 2% carbon content making it complete shit. Also just making a raw ingot could take up to 5 days of continuous work. It was a crucible "steel". Being made that way is what gave it, it's pattern. A pattern that no modern day Blacksmith has ever even come close to reproducing. One day very soon the FTC is going to weigh in on this and ban the branding "Damascus" cause it's a fucking lie, it's false advertising. No one is making Damascus. Ever.

Just like Corbeau I too find it annoying when people call this garbage Damascus, some run of the mill backyard blacksmith couldn't ever make a Damascus blade, they were made by true craftsmen.

    @no.6243@no.62436 ай бұрын

  • this is just great! looks magical! 👍 Perhaps the defect appeared due to the fact that you assembled the forging unevenly and immediately completely filled the bearings and then tried to fill the voids with powder. When you start pulling or twisting the workpiece, I advise you to sprinkle borax

    @Vladislaw_Dragon@Vladislaw_Dragon6 ай бұрын

    • Ive never sprinkled borax inside a can bit it might be a thought. I think it came from the twist. I dont think it was too noticeable in the video but i sheared it a little in my first twist. I over twisted and that caused parts to come up. I guess i pushed it back once i forged it back into a bar and missed it when i did my cut for the tip

      @JPsBladeworks@JPsBladeworks6 ай бұрын

    • ​@@JPsBladeworksYou definitely can’t put borax inside, but when you remove the casing or twist it you need to pour it in. Most likely, there was simply emptiness inside and the metal was not welded. But the katana is great

    • @@Vladislaw_Dragon I borax all my billets after they come out of the casing. I just dont show it on the video because it just lengths an already long video.

  • why do modern sword makers use so much metal? i watched a japanese master make a Katana n the amount of metal they use is literally EXACTLY the right amount. of course they do it all by hand but still makes me wonder why modern smiths use so much metal

    @D0ses@D0ses6 ай бұрын

    • Different smiths have different reasons. Most call it sacrificial steel. Make a mistake, cut it off, still got steel to play around with. Not to mention when doing certain types of damascus, the kerf loss can be extreme, especially with feather damascus for example.

      @samcoolbaugh7754@samcoolbaugh77545 ай бұрын

    • I often make extra billet to produce cooking knives, kiridashi, etc. may as well! Also, matching gane in a wakizashi or tanto can be cool. You can get quite precise with steel quantity if you want to. In Japan steel is a valuable natural resource and in the US its cheap and plentiful. Go price some hitachi blue paper steel compared to a chunk of 1095.

      @gwcstudio@gwcstudio5 ай бұрын

    • It all depends on what steel you use. Most damascus must be cut to shape, not forged, because that would mess up the pattern. Some people like extra steel to have the freedom to change the blade on the fly. That japanese Smith knew what he wanted to do and probably made many before.

    • @fringeminority150 its white spray paint. Does the same thing as white out but applies easier and more evenly and dries a bit faster. But it has to be white or it wont work.
