That's nice man, aithough I would have clad the cable with metorite for edge retention instead of the opposite. I dunno what you are using for etchant, but I've had best results with cable using 1 part ferric chloride-2parts water-1part white vinegar-1 part hydrochloric acid... If you are getting mixed results on etching strictly the same type of cable then you are getting different results in your heat treat....
@ohnevergoingtoquit correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Damascus was any two steels that were forged together. I just thought it was pretty bad ass that they used meteorite as one of the two metals.
@andrewubaldi It's already exists -Mercworx sniper, or some other model they make... don't remember exactly. The guy that designed it for Mercworx also has his own company now -greyman knives; so you got two options if you want one.
Isn't metiorite anything that comes from space and no specific guidline on what the chemical composition on what it can be?
Can you do that with other materials, throwing a core of another material like titanium (which does not weld to steel) or just another lower, tougher carbon steel (like katanas)? I would think the outer steel would warp with the 2 different materials acting differently to all the extreme heating and cooling. I am brainstorming here, I do not know any of this for a fact.
@mojothemigo Well, considering meteorites fall through the earth's atmoshpere burning at several thousand degrees; the only thing left after impact is only the hardest and densest material. While composition may not be precise there is a limit to what could survive.
there are several tricks to bonding metals, most common being flux. I could foresee several problems with trying bond to titanium, but never really heard of it being done either.
Getting the hell out of Kommiefornia which opens me to a lot more stuff to buy and seeing how you are coming back in the spot light that even excites me more. Looking forward to doing some business with ya and spreading the word. Keep up the good work.
where did you get the metorite

Make a steel version of the Halo energy sword. That would be epic looking, but also really unwieldy because of the dual blades.

@whitey211 nope damascus is when they take meteorite and combine it with the steel which is what gives it that signature look
ohnevergoingtoquit 7 months ago
@ohnevergoingtoquit
That's wrong.
Modern damascus is a mix between two steels.
It doesn't have to be meteorite.
