@rotherthies 7 месяцев назад

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.

This is Acid Etched billet stacking, I get it that doesn't sound cool but to lie just to market your shit product is sad as fuck. 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.

@billwoehl3051 8 месяцев назад

According to John from Old Hickory Forge, length of the sword determined by user height, for his extra tall 6'4" or so frame, his is supposed to be about 30" blade.

@JPsBladeworks 8 месяцев назад

Im 5'9" and i was going for a 30" but forged a 28" and ended up cutting they trouble areas and ended up with a 24.5" which is just over the upper limit of a wakizashi or a kodachi.

@snakenbits4279 8 месяцев назад

@JPsBladeworks 8 месяцев назад

@snakenbits4279 this blade was used to behead a pumpkin

@aliabass6560 6 месяцев назад

The reason for this problem that led to the sword being cut and shortened is that you did not cut the steel into more than one piece and re-melt it and then hammer it.

@D0ses 7 месяцев назад

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

@samcoolbaugh7754 6 месяцев назад

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.

@gwcstudio 6 месяцев назад

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.

@RileyPierce_ 6 месяцев назад

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.

@dimasmokko7016 6 месяцев назад

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone smash a can vertically like that for the first press. That was neat. Looked like the can almost peeled itself off right then.

@JPsBladeworks 7 месяцев назад

I always do top first to weld it because its pressured from all sides since the can is one solid piece. I used to do sides and they would crack or pop and create unwanted bulges and cracks at the end of the finished billets.

@DamnWoodWorker 7 месяцев назад

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

@JPsBladeworks 7 месяцев назад

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

@DamnWoodWorker 7 месяцев назад

@@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

@JPsBladeworks 7 месяцев назад

@@DamnWoodWorker 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. Normally Canister damascus comes out with surface cracks so its always safe to pour some borax even if its not needed. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.

Forging the bevels, not only grinding, to make it more legit and also avoid those fold-over cold shuts you had (mostly made by not cleaning up the sides with a grind after twisting), by moving material to the edge. So much work on the initial billet and patterning, AND the general length/shape forging. Not sure why then to shortcut the edge bevel and just leave such a block beast of a profile (as of 8.30min in).

@JPsBladeworks 7 месяцев назад

Its a competition. I was low on time. Sacrifices were made. I dont lose sleep over it.

@Dan_d00d 7 месяцев назад

@@JPsBladeworks oh didn't realise from the start it was in a comp and all. The work was nice, and good refinement on the pieces and polish, assembly. Cutting the kiseki (blade tip) often gives a quite different result to forging it in, but you made it all work! Using the press for holding the twist was smart. And for horizontal twisting, normally going vertical as most ppl do, works muscles harder

Killer look! I may try this now that I have figured out how to patina copper. The last one I did was just like this with a sanmai blade, and fire-red copper for everythint.

@JPsBladeworks 5 месяцев назад

I want to try a fire red version with a different pattern.

Admirable work on the sword. Meaning no disrespect, please consider advice from someone who began training with katana in 1966, eventually in two schools, one of which has a genealogy going back prior to 1580. The katana cut is not like swinging a baseball bat. The left hand is on the kashira (pommel) with the ring and little finger under it. Also, the power of the cut is mostly from the left hand pulling toward the body or upward very slightly at the very end of the cut so that the cut is elliptical at the end rather than circular. Difficult to execute, the reason why training even in the basics takes years.
