This particular spring steel is 1080 I believe, so pretty simple to weld. Steels like 5160 apparently don't weld to themselves well, I haven't tried it, but are supposed to be ok when paired to a simple high carbon steel.
Very nice, but that much welding at first wasn't needed, nor did I see it get ground off before forging? I would be concerned about mild steel from the weld being within the compositions (especially if it ended up on a section of the cutting edge) as there was a ton of mild steel used there to weld it up. My two cents
I hear you, I was sort of experimenting with a zero atmosphere technique, but I did make sure all the bead was gone, didn't show all that in the video.
Imagine forging in a vacuum environment. No scaling, no sparks, longer working time between heats. Unfortunately normalizing cycles would take ages, and you would need to wear a pressure suit with an oxygen tank on your back.
you do not need to use such a big hammer to move steel efficiently, i have been only using hand hammers for the almost 4 years i have been making blades. I learned that different shaped hammers work better for a given task, and going from heavy to lighter hammers lets me forge all day without getting winded. beveling is best with a 1.5 lbs hammer well general forging is best with a 3.4lbs, I only use a 4+lbs hammer when I want to thicken a piece of stock or am setting a canister. PS: I do not sell yet as I am waiting till I pass the ABS Journeyman performance test.

This is my favorite blade creation video on the internet. That clever is perfect. I’d use that, for everything in the kitchen.
Blade is an amazing piece of artwork!
This is a dang purty Damascus. Really nice and wild pattern. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
That is one beautiful knife my man. Wow 🤩
Really nice cleaver, top job, enjoyed watching the process.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Superb
Really digging your content. Hope to see more of it!
Thanks! Plenty more to come!
It's very beautiful, hope to see you make more damascus knives from saw blades and spring steel.
Thanks for watching! I'm sure I will make more blades similar to this construction
@@FireCreekForge I am very happy, thank you. have a nice day
Skills and dedications... forged in fire.
Beattifull damascus👌
Great work as always. 👍👍.
Thank you! thanks for watching!
Pattern turned out very nice. I think you should wrap more chains on your anvil, though 😉
Nice Work
Thank you, thanks for watching!
nice blade so impress!
Thank you!
also i never thought to use screws for fitting up my scales to the tang. ill have to give that a try in the future.
VERY VERY GOOD, NICE VIDEO . COMPLIMENTI DALL' ITALIA ....... 10 +++.-
I tried counting, but lost count. How many layers. Beautiful work.
I don't remember exactly, 25-30 i believe. Thanks!
Really great looking patterns on the blade did you make a sheath for it as well
I read that spring steel was difficult to forge weld into Damascus

这把刀好漂亮
And folks wonder why custom is pricey. They should watch this...
But first, coffee
You do beautiful work, are you willing to sell me some of that bandsaw blade or tell me where I can get it, thank you
Thanks! Shoot me a message on my website or Facebook.
@@FireCreekForge I would like to buy some of that bandsaw blade or can you tell me where to get it
@@hughlink7341 please message me from my website or Facebook page; links are in the video description.
What size motor do you have on your press? Nice pattern on the blade btw..lol
Thank you, I have a 5hp motor on mine.
@@FireCreekForge thank you sir..
@@anthonystrunk5360 you bet

He was welding up all the seams to have a zero atmosphere forge weld. So no oxygen would get to the welds and he did not have to use flux
Does NOONE use flux anymore ?

That would wild, except normalizing wouldn't work since the super slow cooling rate would anneal it instead...
