Really nice blade! This wrought iron is beautiful . Multibar is one of my favorite construction type. Always a pleasure to work with old materials! Have a nice day sir.
2nd video I've watched so far of you sir and the first was the competition dagger that was cool too. I can tell you have been doing your homework man. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Turned out awesome Spencer! I just picked up a 6' section of 1"x3" 4142 for my next round of axes, I sold nearly everything I made recently, gotta love Christmas time for selling blades. Keep up the great videos!
It’s been a while since I’ve had even the time to make a comment. First up look at your channel grow congrats. Second that knife is a mighty chunk, beautiful. Lastly I hope you and your family are healthy and happy. Merry Christmas my young RU-vid friend.
I dont think many understand anymore why youre dipping your hammer. Saves a lot of work.love that wrought look. Its interesting stuff. Some looks wood grain , others look pattern welded. Its always beautiful.
Very timely video for me! I just forged two billets of wrought and have been wondering whether to try san mai with 1084 or do it the way you did. I'd love to know what led to using this technique as opposed to the more common san mai. Or was it because san mai is more common? Do tell!
Right on!! That’s actually a really good question! I stopped doing wrought San mai as I was having a lot of core cracking issues in the quench which is actually more common than one would think. Even when I couldn’t see a visible crack with the naked eye the microscope did! So I didn’t want to waste anymore wrought and adopted this construction.
Thanks for the speedy response! While I am lucky enough to have lots of wrought to work with, I hate putting lots of time into a blade that ends up flawed, so thanks for the advice. I will do it your way!@@HeavyForge
