@rotherthies 6 ай бұрын
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.

@Vladislaw_Dragon 7 ай бұрын
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 ай бұрын
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
@Vladislaw_Dragon 7 ай бұрын
@@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 6 ай бұрын
@@Vladislaw_Dragon 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.

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.

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.

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 5 ай бұрын
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 5 ай бұрын
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_ 5 ай бұрын
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.

Fair play to the dude for his technigue of getting the canister off perfectly, most people I see chisel it off and risk ruining the whole thing

the only thing i would of liked to see is the tsuba have some design cut into it. maybe a flower or something like that. but great looking katana
@JPsBladeworks 7 ай бұрын
I opted out on doing a cut on the tsuba for making it from damascus because i was low on time but didnt want it too plain looking.

@@JPsBladeworks understandable. it was a couple of years ago and i saw someone make their tsuba out of bike chain and the punched the link pins out after and it looked very cool. i know you did a great job on the katana and was just voicing my opinion and i hope you didnt take it as an attack on your skill as a smith

@dagnard5707 no not at all. I agree with you actually. I would have loved to do more work on it but as a tried and true procrastinator i made this sword in slightly over a week 😅 even though i told myself id take more time for the challenge this time around 😅

I love the color. It's incredible. I would have died to see that color show up in the blade.
@JPsBladeworks 5 ай бұрын
I wish i knew how to do that. The bright blue makes the pattern in the sword look a little dull in my opinion
