The parameters for both the beginner bracket (less than 2yrs experience or less than 5 total knives made with evidence) and the main competition are: - Blade must be longer than 8" from tip to heel (meaning all sharpened edge, not from the guard) - Must have a defined riccasso - Must feature a clip/swedge point at least 1/3...

    Great job! I have not tried W1 yet. Thinking about giving it a shot. I use mostly 52100 or 5160. 52100 round bar is such a bear to move...... You gave me some great pointers, and I will apply them to my hammering.

    • @SamTownsBladesmith
      @SamTownsBladesmith 2 месяца назад

      Happy to help! Yeah the high chromium steels can be a bit of a bear, unless you're looking for a hamon I would suggest something like 1084 or 1070, as w1 and w2 are a bit finicky themselves

    Great technique. In this video, it may not look like a special tool compared to electric tools, but for those who work with forging, it can create expressions that cannot be achieved with tools such as files. You're great

    IT's interesting to compare these to when these blacksmithed knives would have been sold as cheap commodities, A lot ofthem were by far not perfect. These days it's an art, so best not to put out cruddy art.

    ide strongly suggest some Japanese natural wetstones. a med hard suita and some uchigumori. and the art of mixing and making nugui! the results are day and night..its practically not worth acid polishing if you are going for a Japanese look..the hard cutting edge is whitened and the softer steel darkens wen polished correctly.
