Making a Knife from Crucible Steel!

- Here is how I made this puukko from crucible steel. I think I overheated my steel in the roast and forging which is why i have less of a pattern, but I think with a few tweaks I can make some sweet steel with the right pattern! I think the knife turned out really nicely as well. Hopefully more wootz to come...

I love a good experiment. This is super cool!
man this is still one of my favourite channels. Sad to see you post so little content brother, but i understand the time it takes to make videos since i make them myself. Just keep up the good work! Love to see your projects
Thank you! I’ll try to make more videos this summer! Lots of plans
If you add a bit of HSS steel(broken drills bits) about 1-2 grams per every 100 grams of iron, the pattern will not dissappear after the roast.
If there is not a sufficient amount alloying elements the pattern will not survive the roast.
You could also do it without carbide-forming elements just plain carbon and iron however then you can't roast it and there is a higher risk of cracking the ingot needs to be forged more gently and slowly.
Liam great build brother you nailed it 👍👍✌Mark
Thank you! 🤘🏼
Looking good!
Thank you
Wow that's crazy. Forge On. God bless.
Thank you!
@@LiamJPenn your welcome
Perfect👍👍
Thanks!
Very nice knife ❤
Thank you!
Carefull touching the side of the belt like it looked like you did about 3/4 though the video.
I had the side of a 36 grit cut down to the bone in less than a second on my thumb last year. It was a fresh belt, and running full speed. I would have been more careful had I knew that was even something that could happen.
Also, a tip for getting cabide banding to show up. Ive had the same thing happen when trying to get it to show. It would wipe off with the initial oxides. My best results were doing a lot of cycles. Sanding with high grit sandpaper between cycles. 3000 is good, but even higher is fine also. It took a lot of polishing and etching though.
You do good work, and I like your videos. On the other side (safety) wearing rings around power tools is a good way to lose a finger, I witnessed it happen - be safe. All the best, Danny
Check our Spencer Sandisons youtube Heavy forge. He does a lot of wootz and if i remember correctly etches with something otber than ferric
Yeah he’s tried a bunch of different things, my problem i think is that I just dissolved out too much carbide or something, I don’t think it’s just the etchant that’s giving me problems. Should be able to work it out on the next try
How many degrees is “Garage Degrees”? ;). Love the work brother!
Probably 40s
I know nothing about this steel. I do stock removal. But holy shit the stuff you use doesn’t look like it’s easy to move with a hammer! Is this true of this steel? New sub! Love yer work!
This stuff is really hard to forge haha. almost like hitting cold steel sometimes, plus it should be worked in a tight temperature range(i did a terrible job of that on this blade) kind of a pain but it will be worth it once I can get a nice pattern.
Always looks like Alloy banding to me
Bro, you got a permit for those guns
so whats the point of using molten salt to temper as compared to just using the evenheat at the same temp?
Gets the same result. I use the salts for my first temper, because don’t want to wait for the evenheat to cool down all the way after hardening. I use the oven for the second temper. Also, the salt is really nice for straightening blades because I can just dip the blade it, get it to tempering temp, the. Work on it with a 3 pin in the vise. I learned about low temp salts from Adam desrosiers.
Why would the wootz pattern not stay on after etching? I know very little about metallurgy but very curious why that happened.
I’m not entirely sure unfortunately, there’s a lot of variables
How can I purchase your blades?

Might want to clean the mushrooming on your tools a bit, those can be quite dangerous
It’ll all get dressed sooner or later, not too worried for now

Gotcha. Stay safe and hopefully you won’t need a TQ anytime soon
