Forging a Damascus Steel Knife from Ball Bearings

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Watch as a master blacksmith transforms ordinary ball bearings into a stunning Damascus steel knife. Starting with heating the bearings in a forge, he hammers them into shape with precision and skill. The highlight of the process is when he twists the glowing hot metal to create the intricate and beautiful patterns characteristic of Damascus steel. Witness the artistry and craftsmanship involved in turning raw materials into a functional and visually captivating blade.

  • @Dan_d00d
    @Dan_d00d22 күн бұрын

    If the canister is mild steel and then just twist into the piece to make the billet, then you have a crappy mix of high and low carbon metals mixed into the knife. This is an edge hardness/retention issue. Also, no mechanical fixation for the blade to the handle, ouch. Looks nice, construction methods semi iffy. :)

    @@robmanueb. yes and no. the key thing is that you need high carbon and suitable steel in the areas that must have strength and hardness (but will have more brittle matrices at molecular level, and less shock absorbing capacity ) and also needing something that is durable and more absorbent, with mild / low carbon steel. So the real situation is about how much and where it is, and in what array/layer/position relating to each other and in terms of the FUNCTION of the tool / use of an item. so in a knife, you want the hard stuff on the cutting edge, and the mild ('soft') stuff behind, on the spine. If you had both along the cutting side and where it strikes, that will mean things like loss of sharpness, edge retention, warps/burrs are going to be issues. Hope this helps. Tons to read and watch about it all out there.

    @@Dan_d00d Yeah I have watched a ton of them. I know that some smiths will really consider and plan their welds, others like this just go for a pattern that looks nice. TBH I think most of the forge weld blades we see are not totally practical and a stronger blade could be had by just using one good steel.

And also a sushi nakiri knive .and also serrated and the rest are for fillets and carving and doing veg . Also came with a steel . Which i have 5 already and one which bought whilst working at the slaughterhouse . Its a bad ass steel . And i also have a smooth steel for very fine edge . And i invested in a set of whetstones . My kitchen knifes are so sharp and will give you a clean shave if you needed too 😂😂😂😂 . But top job on the twisted knife 😮
