Damascus Steel from Nails
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- My first attempt at making canister damascus from steel nails and powder 1095 steel mixed with 4% pure nickle powder (to make it etch bright like 15n20).
I forge welded a piece of k720 steel on one side because I'll make a single bevel knife from this steel later!

Great pattern on this one! 👍
Hard, arduous work but the effect is excellent. ongratulation from Vietnam 🥰😘👍

I've always wondered how hard it is to find good high carbon steel tubing to use so that the canister could just be integrated directly into the design.

I love it man!! Cheers and thank you for all you do! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I wouldn’t have thought that the steel in nails would have been very good. Low carbon few alloy elements?
It's always fun to see what you're up to!
Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented
Can't wait for you to turn that in to a awesome knife 😎 thank you for sharing five stars my friend
That has a nice finish! Good work, dude!
Your videos are very relaxing are you editing it prime , I honestly watch it right before bed and sleep really good , keep up the work!
Cool look, but probably not the best for a knife with all those soft nail bits along the edge.. Would be cool as cladding pieces for san-mai with a high carbon centre or it would work better on its own if you cut and stacked a few times to get a more consistent level of high carbon along the edge, but you'd also lose a lot of the cool pattern..
The goal is not the best product, but a video effect for the YT channel.
He used powdered 1095 and k720 for the carbon content
Depends on the type of nails.
Wood nails are made of mild steel, but masonry nails are made of good medium-high carbon steel (0.50%+), so would make a perfectly fine steel for a knife.
Some other speciality nails also have a decent carbon content, like shoe/boot nails and the sort.
if you watch his newest video, he makes a paring knife with this steel. He grinds it down so that the edge is just the pure k720, with the Damascus only on the upper blade face.
Wasn’t sure at first,,, that looks amazing..
Somebody's been watching shurap
Looks like it's off to a great start
Buen trabajo!!! Saludos desde Argentina 💪🇦🇷
Superb Damascus thanks
I tested steel nails like them and one nail can hold more than a ton.. much more!
Interesting result. I was kinda expecting to use all the leftover nails and screws of differing metal types so you could go for the weird.
Awesome as usual always love your videos. What are the other items added to the square tubing?
You nailed it
Great looking blank and an excellent job making it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Interesting, thank you 😊
Very Nice 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Nice looking piece of steel...Looking forward to 👀 that become a 🔪 ...Would you do this again but instead of nails use something like real tiny 52100 ball bearings?? I know the blade would be much tougher mixed with 1095 powder and nickel...Anyway, waiting for the follow up mate!

Nice one brother! Lots of possibilities there.
Wow very amazing fantastic good work sir.
Like the orbital sander trick till a load of filings drop it the cooling fan 💥☻️😎
Сразу вспомнился канал shurap 👍
Все уже давно придумано.Повторяем друг за другом)
Shurap would approve!
Getting good shurap vibes. :)
i feel like watching shurap channel. and i like it
Would love to see you make something using thermit welding. It's used to weld railroad tracks to each other and make the ride smoother.
Good luck with that.. insurance companies do cover for that type of cost(s) to human life should something go wrong
You go into battle in 1500ad with a sword that looks like this, and tell the enemy soldiers. "Each of these specks is a soul I've captured inside the blade. Now fight me!"
And they will say "thats just damascus steel bro"
@@luccoruja3097 lol, you got a point :P
@@luccoruja3097 Wootz steel.
nailed it
Looking good
Spectacular!
Dam man got some nice new machinary!!!
...lookin' good, nice job, keep safe
VERY COOL!
Good job mister
great video bravo! I hope that one day I will be able to do as well 😉
Beautiful. May is suggest making a leather head knife out of it
That came out great! Next time do ball bearings
Nice looking
Wow
Amazing
I believe that Green Beetle would be proud of you :D
With so mush hard work, did not understand what is the use of this metal strip 😎
Nice work
Turned out amazing. Only have one question. Why are you using stick instead of tig to weld? As always thanks for sharing!
Faster and cheaper to do stringers on stick than TIG.
TIG is great for control, but don't need much control for a straight line.
Good video mate . Keep going . You have nice videos and content 👍
I suppose my main question is - why?
Clicks. A wasteful and soft product like that has no great use.
@@bobafetting6373 Masonry nails are made from ~.60% carbon steel.
It's not going to be soft or wasteful...
@@autumn5592 Those are not masonry nails, those are cheap panel pins.
I applaud the canister technique but you can get better results with a stainless steel tube when it comes to removing the can. Other than that it looks nice!!
You should have had chili pepper in the canister for extra sharpness
Good job 👍
Maybe try Damascus made from welding wire.
You wouldn't have the carbon content to harden it.
It would be pretty useless outside of cladding.
@@autumn5592 maybe you could mix the wire with another steel ?
@@punisher3607 You could, and carbon would migrate to the welding wire, however there wouldn't be enough carbon in the welding wire, and it would be quite soft, not enough for a good knife edge.
You could use hard facing rod, I suppose, but that shit is expensive.
So, still, would only be good for cladding or you would have to pick something with higher carbon content.
Awesome! Have you got a recommendation on where to get a press and hammer press?
Good
i think you nailed it...no ok no one gets my Jokes 😆
Could you use your ultrasonic cleaner to vibrate the work?
That looks 👌. I wonder how horseshoe nails would work.
Sangat menakjubkan 👍
Nice knife, well made...I've noticed that you don't fold the billet whenever you make a knife... doesn't doing that make the grain tighter and stronger, therefore a much stronger blade with more edge retention?...just curious
No.
Folding just changes pattern (if you're using contrasting steels), and spreads carbon (or other additives) into other parts of the metal (or if worked long enough, worked out of the metal.)
For consistent metals, like this should be, folding will do nothing for it -- the grain size is related to temperatures when normalizing and quenching, not how you move the steel.
Folding the steel was common in the older days where you had trash steel that was impure, and folding caused the impurities to be removed, and carbon to be evenly spread.
Smaller grains reduce edge retention (wear resistance), not improve it.
However, smaller grains improve toughness, making it less likely to break (which has an indirect effect on edge retention, causing the edge to deflect instead of chip, resulting in slightly higher edge retention.)
Grain size doesn't effect sharpness either, because the grains are significantly smaller than the apex of the knife can get (depends on the steel, and the carbide formed, some alloy steels can be quite large grained, and as a result can effect sharpness, but not in a meaningful manner.)
@@autumn5592 Это не совсем так. Толщина кромки заточенного лезвия 0.1 мкм, а диаметр обычного зёрна - 10-20 мкм., в 200 раз больше.
Это просто так, хмммм из России. 🙄🙂

Very nice B.B.. What can we expect from that pc of steel? Thx again for posting....
He Nailed It....🤓
That's looks sick mate!
What did you line your canister with? Looked like paint then something else. That can just came right off!
👍👍👍
Can i please get the details about the hydraulic press you used in this video ??
should do this again put align all the nails vertically
Beau travail 👍
Peux-tu éclairer ma lanterne : certains mettent du poivre et du piment dans la boîte, à quoi ça sert ?
Je pense que c'est de la peinture blanche que tu pulvérises sur les parois de la boîte, mais que sont ces 4 sachets que tu mets sur les côtés ?
Merci pour ta réponse et vivement la suite.
Salut, si je ne me trompe pas, tu as du voir les vidéos de shurap, qui ajoute du poivre dans ses cannister. C'est en fait une blague du forgeron car en russe, le mot Spicy (épicé) est similaire à sharp (tranchant), il ajoute do c du tranchant à sont couteau ^^ sinon certains mettent du carbone ou un matériaux inflammable pour supprimer l'oxygène lors de la soudure.
Ensuite généralement on met du tippex sur les parois pour faciliter le retrait du cannister. Les "sachets" ont l'air d'être du feuillard.
@@Axelniel Merci pour ces précisions Axel. Pour le tippex je connais cette pratique qui est largement utilisée dans l'émission "Le meilleur forgeron" sur la 17 de la TNT 😁
J'ai cru un moment que les sachets étaient des rince-doigts... 🤔🤔🤔
Nails can be hardened ?
I was always confused about that.

Piccola curiosità, dove le trovi le polveri per il damasco?
I've seen that before tripping on acid in metals shop in high school in '74
What is it "liquid chemistry" in the tube?
QUESTION:
The flakes from the steel. Are they a slag?
Yes
Depends on when you mean.
When he was cutting with the angle grinder, that was the steel tube being shed, because it has no carbon content it's useless. (He specifically took measures to prevent it sticking to the other steel.)
If you mean the little bits of metal that fall off when it's being forged, that's carbon and other impurities being removed from the steel.

No peppers???
What was that paper you put in before nails
boys i need help I'm relatively new to forging .
is the black powder that he mixed with nails carbon?

I don't like how this turned out. In the pattern of the end result you could see the folding points and in general the pattern is very uneven.
Dude, it's a bunch of nails in a can. What did you expect it to look like 🤔
ये मशीन कितने की आएगी
Inspired by shurap 😄
There needs to be captions explaining each step
Not hard to understand what's happening...
Very funkay pattern, I likes a lot!
Do you ever work with Wootz aka Real Damascus?
Watched this earlier today, then spotted it on TikTok, account named re.anything posting your video in parts, 600k views on the first part.
Put your cannister in the ultrasonic cleaner as you add the powder.
I am waiting for the day that someone makes a blade with his Name in it .. There must be a Software that simulates how the different metals behave when squeezed together that then calculates the shapes sizes and position of the cuts of metal you need to have in in your mold for the expected end result. a laser cutting machine is quite handy for that i guess .. wink wink
Not hard to do.
You get a chunk of steel cut in the shape of a name. Then you get contrasting steel and put it in the blank spots, layer either side, weld, forge weld the billet without deformation (soft taps, only fuse the metal), then treat it like a stock removal blade.
And just like that you have a knife with a name on it.
Damascus sword or nailascus sword??
