@Conan568 thanks man i really appreciate it,just what i had lying around,but makes sense tho now i think about it SS is tough stuff and surely has a higher melting temp?ty again,and BTW i love the dagger at 35sec in this vid

Your welds failed because of one thing, stainless steel.
Leave it out next time and you should be OK.

@Conan568 hello could i ask a little advice on pattern welding,I have a home-made brake forge and have been trying to make damascus on a small scale(small pieces of different sheet metal,thin gauge mild steel,Stainless,and some tool steel from an old file)everything seemed clear from your vids I heated it WHITE hot and smashed it together ,drew it out and when i sheared it to make the first fold as i tapped on the backside to fold it the stack just blew apart.any suggestions?old borax perhaps?TY

@Tboom49 Look at the blade backs, if you can see layers then it's pattern welded Damascus.

How would I know if I own a damascus knife? Is there a marking on it somewhere? I found a bunch of old knives at an estate sale and some look like on or two of these. Thx
i just got my first pattern welded knife, it's a recurved bowie, it gives me happy feelings to look at.

@Conan568 i slapped em on my facebook, might do up a video but my camera probably won't pick up the layers all that well in video mode so i'll have to open up windows movie maker and every time i do that it burns when i pee.

I know what you mean about movie maker, I just use Win Live to do it now..
I managed to get a pretty good clip of my big stag Damascus bowie tho.
Lighting is important when you film knives.
