Forging A Double Ladder Damascus Knife. Chatoyance Experiment.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Searching for that shimmer by experimenting with double ladder damascus. I take my current understanding of how chatoyance works and try to forge a maximally lustrous knife from alternating layers of 1084 and 15n20 steel. In the video I call curly maple quilted maple sorry. Galactic.

    Man, my heart broke when you showed that kitchen knife without the handle. Although, the pattern is really wild and you can see the depth in the Damascus. Again, I'm impressed not only with your work product, but also your willingness to keep pushing your abilities to learn new methods. Master Smith William F. Moran would be proud.

    The tang! :( More heartbreaking than a Forged In Fire strength test. The resulting pattern was gorgeous though. Looks a lot like Moire (a satin fabric that has a wood grain look to it).

Wery educational, nicely done, the handles on both knives are preety, satisfying to watch, a tone of stuff to learn, nicely explained, overall a good job considering the chalenges you had with your setup. Good work GB keep em coming, im always happy when i see a new upload.
