    Thank you for the shout out and I am glad the sword held up well. It is nice to see you put it through the paces and have it deliver similar results to what I tested. I may suggest having something to cover your neck and face. Does not look great on camera but hitting swords on hard things has had them flying back at my face. Good job!

      S5 is very tough and the tougher the steel usually means its going to be easy to sharpen. I have stuff in s7. Which is close to s5 and its tough as nails. As is 4140, but dont confuse toughness in steel as strength. Toughness is the ability to take deformation with breaking, strength is the how hard can use it before it deforms.

    S5 Shock-Resisting Tool Steel, is a medium carbon content tool steel. What makes this oil-hardening tool steel unique is it's silicon-manganese content. This blend creates a tool steel that exhibits the highest impact toughness of any "S" grade tool steel. S5 is an excellent choice where the properties of silicon-manganese steels are desired in combination with well-known advantages of oil-hardening steels. A reduced tendency to distort or crack in heat treatment is accordingly combined with high toughness in S5. In fact, S5 can be hardened to approx. 62 Rockwell C. This makes S5 and better choice for applications where a higher strength than S7 shock absorbing steel can provide.

      So far we've discovered zero non-Newtonian solids. so that's very unlikely. Materials like bronze also work harden. Work hardening makes the material harder but also more brittle. Once hardened it doesn't go back to it's unhardened state without relaxing it through applying for example heat.

      ​@@takisk.7698oh, I would imagine so. I've been following the evolution of knive steels for 25 years.
      And the acceleration of development in the last 10 years has been neck breaking(Think Metal Gear Solid).
      It seems that only in the last 3 or 4 years have sword smiths begun to experiment with using more modern advanced steels.
      I can't wait to see what's around the corner.
      Fantasy is becoming like science fiction.
      What seems like magic, only remains such, until a real world Wizard(we call them metalurgists) figure out how it would be made.
      Soon we'll be able to control the atomic structure of steel, right down to the precise alignment of each carbon atom from every single nanometer of the steel.
      In Star War's it's called durasteel.
      Tie fighter's are made of this. It is a super steel. Those blaster cannons on X-Wings are not anti fighter blasters, those are anti capitol ship cannons. They are made to blast through the heavy durasteel armor of capital ships, like Corvettes and small cruisers, anything under a Corellian heavy Cruiser, like a Star Destroyer.
      This is why the blow up Tie's so easily. It's also why X-Wings need shields. Cause Tie cannons are exactly as powerful. And Tie cannons cycle like belt fed machine guns. And they chew through X-Wing shields like they aren't there.
      Anyway, Durasteel is steel made at the molecular level. And that's what we will have, and mere minutes, from tomorrow.
      Why? Because they are already developing a high powered partical beam laser to be fitted onto a fighter, like an F-22 Raptor.
      So what is a next gen Raptor like fighter going to be made of?
      Durasteel.
      Or duratanium!
      Who knows what they'll call it. It will be a metal that take extreme temperatures, extreme g loading, and possibly even near contact high explosives, without bending or breaking.
      Metals that push the boundaries of what we thought was impossible, into what is possible and beyond.

    Note: i am not a full-blown metallurgist, but i know enough to get by as a bladesmith.
    I got curious about this steel as I have worked with a higher grade of it, S7 (i made my first punch from this), and I know ABS Master Smith Howard Clark used S7 in his Bainite katana series not surprised. The steel is made for making chisel. S5 steel is a high-hardenability very high alloy tool steel...its hardenability is high enough that if you dont temper it depends on how hot you quench it as it has one of the highest ranges of hardening temperatures I have seen (I am using Fahrenheit as it more accurate then Celcies) 1600-1695F. that also has the issue of if you dont temper it in 30 min if you went in at 1600F or 15minuites at 1695F...it will Crack. So it is a very very tough steel also it it does require hotter temperatures to forge. it likely will NOT take a classic Clay Quench differential hardening but you can probably blue back the spine.
    also without going into the techciall stuff that i bearly understand, as like i said i know enough to get by and i am using a turm not thrown around a lot is a higher end of carbon content middle-carbon at .50-.60C steel which is what Swords are supposed to be made of. looking at the high
    T-10, which is the same as W1...has very high carbon steel and actually has to be tempered right after quenching and should not even be put in a cold furnace...not what you should be making swords from, but it works great for knives....and drill bits. Not necessarily swords

    enma was the only sword to cut kaido. Shusui was the Near Indestructible Sword.
    But the sword in this video is like emna. In the anime the sword forces the user to exert more energy than needed.

    S5 is some incredibly tough steel. Its some hardcore steel for sure. That was very surprising that you were able to sharpen it that easily. Normally tool steel is difficult to sharpen and takes some effort to put a proper edge on. I figured that it would be seriously difficult, and an absolute pain in the ass to make sharp. This was an all around incredibly impressive review. This is the kind of sword that you want to have with you for the freaking apocalypse!

    • @Born_Stellar

      the S series steel are actually pretty easy to sharpen, but they also dull quickly. most 'tool' steel is very hard, but steel is made for its application. S5 is used in jackhammer bits apparently, so its good at holding its shape under constant abuse. if it was too hard though it would fragment or chip.

    if you watch forged in fire, there are times when one of the finalists will accidentally drop their piece point first into concrete and the floor breaks more than the weapon, namely the episode they did on the Viking sword, the winner had dropped his very functionally balanced piece point first into the concrete floor of his shop and it broke the floor without even scratching the almost finished blade. And i think that sword was made of 5160.
    it was season 2 episode 5.

    Love the content, but as a one piece fan, i have to say:
    Enma isnt specifically known for its hardness, its known for its destructive properties, along with the difficulty of using it (since it drains the users energy in order to become more destructive).
    The sword Zoro used to have before Enma, Shusui, IS known for being incredibly hard, to the point that it wouldnt bend if a dinosaur stepped on it.

    For years, my dream sword would be made from S5. I could never find a swordsmith who had ever worked with it. You have to take an effort to keep it from decarburizing, so it's made for stuff like molten salt processing. I'll be going to the cloudhammer site next. If I can only get them to make a good Oakeshotte Type XVII out of the stuff, I'll have as good a can-opener as can be made with current technology.

    Kudos to Cloudhammer...I'm genuinly impressed at how amazing S5 shock steel is. I personally like European swords a more (arming and hand-and-a-half in particular), so I hope they expand and make some more European sword designs in the future, because I know they already have a longsword also with S5, but it's a little too plain-looking in my opinion.

    OK, FOR THE RECORD - The sword Zoro holds in his mouth belonged to his childhood friend - Shimotsuki Kuina, who was 1. not allowed to a swordsmen because she was a female (tradition) and 2. Died as a child. Zoro carries her white sword as a way to carry her memory and dream on his journey to be the best swordsmen. Zoro holds her sword in his mouth out of sheer respect and also only uses it as a primary as a last resort (One sword style).
    The sword he raised after "being slashed" at the Baratia was Shimotsuki Kuina's sword.

    S5 is the greatest shock resisting tool steel capable of maximum toughness at relatively high hardness, with excellent impact resistance, and high abraison resistance, with good edge retention. It is iron with 0.50-0.65% carbon, 0.60-1.00% silicon, 1.75-2.25% chromium, 0.10-0.50% vanadium and 0.15-0.35% molybdenum. It needs a complex thermal treatment of annealing at >800 oC with slow cooling, tempering/stress relieving at 750 oC with slow cooling, hardening at 800 oC and then high temperature austenetising at 900-950 oC with quenching in oil.
