@@hongeeng4756 It's not real Damascus, but I guess you can call it Trade Damascus or something. It's pattern welded, which allows for impurities to enter the forging process and prevent the layers from welding. It's not going to be hard like diamond, or flexible either. Not necessarily, (It's never going to be hard like diamond). It depends on the metals you use in forging, and the process and technique used. You can have a pattern welded sword that is soft as butter.

@ninjafaceify 3 жыл бұрын

@Jan Siegle So if a smith makes an amazing and beautiful blade that performs just as well as the other contestants plain yet accurate sword, yet the beautiful sword has virtually no characteristics of the sword that they were supposed to make, effectively making it a different type of sword. The beautiful sword should still win because it's more shiny? I think that being able to make a functional and reliable sword without changing out half the design should win over a flashier yet different sword. They weren't challenged with making the flashy inaccurate sword and the deviations from the challenge sword should be considered missing parameters. Like they've done before but oddly not here.

Travis gives me Tim Curry vibes, in a good way. He looks mad, but he is actually the most sane. Unlike Morgan, he understood the importance of risk vs reward in mono-steel. He used a ladder to heat treat and quench so he had more leverage. He found the breaking point of the tip so he could be comfortable about the durability.

@@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 It's nothing like the original damascus that it's recipe is lost. You can't "glue" 2 steels and make a tougher blade. I say that because most people I know, have in mind, that damascus blades, are tougher. You get both atributes from both steels, which means, that if (and it always is) 1 of 2 steels, is less tougher, then the blade will be less tougher on the parts where that still is. Same goes for it's strength abilities.The real problem with Damascus is, that no matter how good the welding is done, it will always be a chance,the 2 steels come apart! They can't find out, what was that old recipe you mentioned for many reasons! When it comes to knives or steel blades, the more simple, the better, the simplest the BEST!

Yeah this guy was clearly not experienced enough, I'm a layman when it comes to blacksmithing, but you can clearly see the delamination in the middle of his damascus at 04:41. Also, he seemed to rush through the process, could also be editing, but he really didn't seem to take the time needed to finish the blade. He definitely shouldn't have twisted it and spend a lot more time folding it, didn't see him use flux during the heating either, again could be editing. Hopefully he got some experience from it and is a much better smith because of this lesson.
