    Nice work, very nice result. When I've done this kind of thing I was lucky enough to have an oxy/acetylene torch nearby. I'd heat the spots where I was going to drill, up to a dull red, then let them cool slowly. It helped with the drilling a bit.

    Fantastic finish on this Nakiri. I’m interested in your choice of metal - was the D2 used purely for appearance or is it softer than the old file ?

    • @JSaltyfabricator
      @JSaltyfabricator Год назад +1

      D2 is very hard stuff. Typically used in heavy tool and dye applications.

    • @mitsuri010
      @mitsuri010 Год назад +2

      ​@@JSaltyfabricatorshouldn't san mai have a hard middle layer core and soft outer layer? Honestly I never heard about D2 before and I think file is made of 1095 so which is hard here? I'm pretty much an amateur 😅

    • @JSaltyfabricator
      @JSaltyfabricator Год назад +3

      Generally yes. D2 is an air hardening steel, and the 1090 core is not. In theory, once the completed billets is quenched in water or oil, the core could be harder than the air hardening steel outer layer. It's risky mixing air hardening and wtr/oil hardening steels together, as they could contract at different rates in the liquid quench and cause cracking. But this man is a master.and knows what he is doing.
      I thought D2 was an odd choice myself, seeing as it is a tremendously hard alloy. Like, this stuff is used in very heavy wear industrial applications.
      Enjoy the learning process! It never ends.

      It's not a hamon you see, but the etched high carbon steel of the file which is sandwiched between two slabs of D2 which falls close to stainless category. So the file steel takes the etching easier than D2, thus the contrast. You can see the layers on the spine as well.

    - Did you normalize it? At least you neither showed nor mentioned.
    - Why drill the rivet holes in the hardened blade and not before?
