Damascus made from Razor Blades 

- unsigned blacksmith

Check out schurap. Dude has the best videos of Damascus. He even made a knife with dolphins in as the Damascus design

I don’t think he knows how strong welds can be

​@user-pr6fu1zn5p yeah they're extremely strong if done correctly. It's how skyscrapers are built so I'm sure it will be fine for a knife 😅

You're right, of course. I always prefer the tang to be forged from the blade steel. He didn't actually forge to shape. This is more like a canister. "What if"?

Thank you

that’s my first ever anvil, it was so small lmao

@@BladeLuxeTV was it a shoeing anvil?

Thank you!

More like “pattern welded”, mr pedantry 🙄

It’s borax, helps protects the metal during the forging stage

also. what is the thing you sprinkle on it?

thank you

It's borax to merge to steel together

The major problem with that is the thinness and the fact that most are stainless that you will find. Plus once you take into account the taper both distal and with bevels ground into the blades you will be using a lot of the powdered steel filler as compared to these razor blades. Many smiths with do a “frankenmascus”out of off cuts of different steels/different billet offcuts of Damascus. It can be done but likely won’t be worth it to try work=\=output in this case. But for shits and giggles you might be able to convince somebody.

I think the dust is powered metal probably same material as the razors Probably so it gets an even fill and melt

Yes, powdered steel, 1090. The borax acts as a flux to protect the metal in forging stage

@@BladeLuxeTVThanks for sharing this info.

Metal powder of a different alloy than the razors to create the light and dark pattern seen later after the blade is etched. The white powder is probably a Borax powder to act as a flux, keeping impurities and oxidizing material out of the blade billet during the forge welding process of heating and hammering the layers into one piece of metal.

Thank you appreciate it💪

Very nice, I love Damascus steel.
