@ccsniper The borax is a flux. A flux is a material that helps create a clean and strong weld.
-
this might be a stupid question, but what is the borax for?

@BelRiose2000 There are some people making bulat and bulat blades in either Russia or otherwise Slavia/Eastern Europe, who claim an unbroken tradition, and at least two in the USA who say they've recreated the processes. Purist sword collectors say their work is notably different than that of the past. I don't know of an aspect of blades such persons do not say that about though. Antique bulat blades show a variety of forging and heat treats. Improper hardening or welding will destroy the grain.

@TOMHYLE88 It is just weird that people call this layered steel Damascus steel when they are two completely different kinds of forging. There haven't been a Damascus steel sword since 1700, and the scientists don't know how to re-make them.

@BelRiose2000 "True" Damascus steel was "wootz" (bulat) crystaline crucible steel in the Tartaric and Persian tradition and not folded steel as often suposed. Neither technology was ever lost or discontinued, just abandoned by industry in Europeanized countries. Medieval European swords were all forge-welded layered steel, and most European swords were such through at least the early 1700s.

I don't think so.

@swaffellen You seem to know nothing on forging, if I want more power on hammerin then I would use at the end of the stick. In this case it was all about accuracy.

@Yoona1991 anyone with a half a brain knows you choke up on the hammer to increase accuracy and decrease strength -_- ignore the kiddies
