Gin 496 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I like the way the bladesmiths use the ballbearings in the makeup of the blades. Some great stuff, in the time they are given. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spsurfer 891 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Ballbearing steel is for example 52100, Bill Scagel used these steels for his knives, too! The 52100 (or 01 wich is very similar) is a great blade steel! Regards Nicolas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,852 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Putting ball bearings in a can with powdered 1084 and finishing up with something that looks like this really appeals to me. I am sure there is more to it than that but it is on my list of things to have a go at sometime...... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,852 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 My lad did his first bit of Damascus 200 + layers and looking good. Not to be outdone i did my first forge weld today of spring steel core encased in bicycle chain, weld looks good but not ground to see what it looks like, fingers crossed it was worthwhile, it took all afternoon to beat it in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
