You and man at arms are why I started looking as swords as not just cool but also art.

Last time i was this early the forge hadn't heated the steel to working temperature yet. XD

I watch a bunch of channels make pattern welded billets, and the difference between all of them and you, is that you TAKE YOUR TIME, and don't move too much steel too quickly. VIEWERS - ever wondered how Kyle's patterns look so slick? PREPARATION and CARE.

Great video, very informative, love the pattern you have happening. You always use a forging press but never a power hammer, is there some reason for this?

That was a buttload of twists!

I heard of knife making in 2019 then learnt basic grinding with scrap scissors Then last year I got some decent flat bar but I bought it extremely thick since I was worried about thinning the balde too much Then I learnt 8mm is a bad and 3mm is good Now with that 8mm knife its ~7inches long and when I went to design another knife which is meant to be smaller version of that 7 inch knife The small ones rough sketch is the same as the 7 inch. But it feels right then I remember I heard from elsewhere that 7 inch is large So what is the length of a normal dec knife and what is too small and too long

Did you just skip showing the cleaning of each piece of metal before welding up the stack or do you find that not to be necessary for a good weld? I've stuck to the super cautious grind each piece clean on both sides before stacking so far, but if that's not necessary it would save a lot of time to skip!

bigger your stack the better it holds heat if you take a thin stack to the press it will loose heat fast .

What is the purpose of the sheet metal?

@Thomas.Wright

2 жыл бұрын

The sheet metal encapsulates the steel so that no oxygen can get in between the layers of the billet. That prevents formation of rust between the layers. Some smiths use borax between the layers instead. The goal is the same: to prevent O2 from causing rust to interfere with the forge weld.

@@KyleRoyerKnives question- is there a steel other than 15n20 that has a higher carbon content that could still provide a contrast when etching? I feel like a lot of smiths are sleeping on doing damascus with 2 baller blade steels. like, if you made a blade out of just 15n20 it would probably suck. what if you did a damascus with 1095 and (insert other baller blade steel). Maybe one steel has impact and abrasion resistance, and the other has edge retention.

Let me rephrase the question to make more sense then- instead of focusing on damascus steel for aesthetics, ever consider doing damascus focusing on blending performance instead? Clearly 15n20 is chose as a "run of the mill" for aesthetics, but what about making a steel blended with another steel solely for performance? Maybe this line of thinking makes more sense phrased this way? maybe 80crv2 w/ an M-series steel or something. Maybe you can do a "Royer PM" blend (performance mosaic) and a "Royer XP" blend (xtra performance) that you wont have to focus on perfect etching everytime with. no i'm not high ripping the bong, im just riffing out ideas lmao
