"Karl Andersen uses 410 and that's all I needed to know..." - nailed it. I love his work too
I don't see or hear much about stainless san-mai, so it's nice to have the commentary on this one.
I've never had any issues forging stainless san-mai on edge, in fact last time I made some I goofed up and damn near folded the billet in half with the power hammer when forging on edge, I unfolded it and carried on, no problems. My process is to grind the stainless clean and spray it with WD40 immediately to prevent oxides forming, grind the core steel clean and then seam weld the billet with a TIG welder but no filler rod, cutting a small slit in one end with a 1mm grinder disc before throwing in the forge and welding up. High heat, lots of small reductions in thickness with good soak times between heats.
Good for you, learning and keeping at it. Obviously SS has its own learning curve. Looking forward to the next episode, especially the handle. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the commentary. Cheers, mate.
Commentary awwwyeaaahh!
Very nice effort, always good you show the fails too, thanks!
You are brave for doing stainless steel san mai. Glad the second one came out so nice, and I love the handle on the knife at the beginning of the video.
Stunning knife, Steve! Really amazing work!!! 😃
"Carl Anderson uses 410 and that's all I need to know." GB's knows wisdom when he hears it. Beautiful knife. The handle is a 10+.
always enjoy your commentary
Nice work as always.
YT has stopped pushing over half my subs to my main page replacing them with "shorts" or awful gen AI content and even if I ditch the shorts I don't get more of the content I'm looking for. I had to just check my subs list for updates manually now and I'm sad I missed so many of your vids.
Nice recovery, sometimes that is what it takes. Well done, thanks for sharing.
410SS where I am is extraordinarily expensive here and hard to get in the dimensions I'd like to work with for some reason, so I've not had much of an excuse to buy or import it from overseas. Ran a few one-off experiments with other types of stainless but not really had any luck with them, some almosts and a few nearlys but not really anything I'd seen fit to progress
Nice looking piece but if it was me I would have left the nickel sheet out. It’s a pretty and a distinct line between the the layers. But the carbon migration line is what makes stainless San mai so beautiful.
Nice work.
I use 410 with 80CRV2, or 1084/1095 and have had success with them all
Damn beauty right there!
Beautiful 😍
