Technically, traditional hand forged katanas are what we today call Damascus. Not actual Damascus steel, but folded in on itself numerous times to remove impurities and strengthen the metal, also give it a textured pattern. If you look close at a real katana it has tons of tiny, subtle lines all over like "Damascus" pattern. The Japanese call it the Ji-hada or "Skin" of the metal.

When I clicked on this, I was initially surprised this was a canister Damascus. Usually when I see smiths forging with motorcycle chain, they weld them together and either compress them in a power-hammer or a hand-hammer to make the billet. Not that I'm unimpressed with the results. That's a beautiful Katana.

@GaisaSanktejo Жыл бұрын

There's one significant difference I saw between what you did here and what other blacksmiths do, and thats oil tempering the blade at ~200°C rather than tempering it in an oven. I can see how this could be better than tempering in an oven due to there being no oxygen present in the oil, whereas oxygen would be present in an oven (unless you wrap the bade in stainless steel beforehand), which could run the risk of scale forming. So, while somewhat messy, I think I prefer the oil tempering you use here 😄👌👍 I also like how you show that not all projects are 100% perfect, the inclusions in the blade here is a prime example, they may look cool due to the forging process, but I forsee their being a weakness that make this sword very nice, expensive and pretty ornament?

@FarawayForge Жыл бұрын

I did the oil temper for two reasons, 1. the blade was too long for my oven; 2. I wanted to get it into temper as quick as possible so that it wouldn't have any time to potentially crack after heat treat. That being said oil tempering can be EXTREMELY dangerous if not handled safely and/or if not done outside, if you ever attempt it please be super careful, I know a guy that burned his shop down oil tempering a blade. And yea unfortunately there were a few inclusions in spite of being a canister. Fortunately they seem to be mostly superficial, but I still wouldn't put it through any serious testing.

@GaisaSanktejo Жыл бұрын

@@FarawayForge Thats fine my friend and I both understand why you chose to oil temper the blade and totally agree; oil tempering is *dangerous*. I don't have the facilities to even consider smithing, so I won't be forging or tempering anything for the forseeable future, but that doesn't stop my enjoying other people's work and learning by proxy, so to speak. As for the inclusions? I agree. Still, a lovely ornament.

Beautiful, is there a reason you didn't cover it in clay and quench it? Can a blade with materials like this develop a hamon?

@aaronmatheson9730 Жыл бұрын

I don’t mean to stick my nose in here. I forge Japanese style swords so I hope you don’t mind? It really depends on the material you are using. Metal with higher chromium and I believe magnesium tend to have a more difficult time getting a hamon to show. The metal he is using here should have no problem producing a visible differential heat line.

@FarawayForge Жыл бұрын

The whiteout contains titanium dioxide which, theoretically, prevents the steel inside from sticking to the canister. Pepper, maybe burns to absorb any leftover oxygen, or it's a little sacrifice to the forge gods :)
