Here's a fun thought for you- get the Shark logo water jet cut into a billet of flat stock and another in a billet of pattern welded stack so the layers are facing out Then do a switch between them with the parts cut out and see if you can get a 'Denis fish' mosaic pattern in some canisters.

In the old days they used lots of liquids for quenching before engineering quench oils came along. Kerosene is a terrible quenchant because of its flash point. You’d burn down your shop. Diesel is terrible because of the carcinogenic chemicals in it. Use an engineered quench oil, they aren’t that expensive. 👍.

If you have your forge tuned perfectly with the right amount of fuel/air mixture, flux isn’t strictly necessary. Make sure to grind your steel flat, don’t take it out of the forge for any reason before it’s time to forge weld it.

I have a question. I understand clean the mill scale off the metal but why clean the metal in acetone to remove oil if you are going to dip the steel right back into oil before you put it into the forge? If the oil dipped steel burns off why wouldn't oil or grease from your hands?

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

It’s not really the oil from your hands we are worried about, it’s the dirt and grime that sticks to that oil. Cleaning off removes all that. When it goes into kerosene or oil, it’s going to go directly in the forge so no dirt or grime will collect on it. 👍

You are confusing "steel made in Damascus, Syria" with the actual technique of "damascus", aka Wootz. Wootz was made in India around 300 BC. What you are referring to as "steel made in Damascus, Syria" was hundreds of years later. It is suspected that the process of Wootz was migrated from India to the middle-east to Damascus, Syria which was already well known for sword-making. The "steel made in Damascus, Syria" is still crucible steel. None of this is what we would refer to as "modern" damascus and what some people like to refer to as Pattern Welded. They did not do pattern welding back in Damascus, Syria. Btw, I can site at least 3 sites that support this if you'd like to go research.
