Video Wild Damascus steel. Making a blade

The process of forging the blade, making wild Damascus steel. Used steel A 485 and W 110. Hardness after quenching - 62 units. by Rockwell.
Frequently Asked Questions: The billet is soaked in kerosene. This is necessary for good welding (forging) steel. I sprinkle flux (90% borax + 5% quartz sand + 5% charcoal powder) this is necessary for forging (forge) welding. The flux is fused with scale - the formed substance is sufficiently fluid and is easily displaced by deformation. In addition, the flux protects against oxygen and charcoal, carburizes the surface layer of metal - which lowers the welding temperature (if in brief). I do not answer the question of cost - write to mail: https://sites.google.com/site/damaskshevchenko/
