Knife Making Billet Divider for Damascus Steel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- When making damascus steel or folded tamahagane, billets of steel are divided, cut and folded, then rewelded to increase the layer count. The divider tool built in this video helps blade smiths make those cuts accurately, which increased the quality and yield of folded steel. This tool is simple, cheap and can be made in about an hour.

A video on what can go wrong with smelting, including the meaning of hot-short, would be very interesting :)
That's a nifty tool, sir! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Very cool little tool. Thanks
Walter: uploads a video
Me: clicking on it in under a second
Haha! haha! haha!
Those strips of steel can be obtained from shipping pallet banding. Find a home builder or factory and they will have all kinds of those strips of steel they are constantly disposing of, most will likely love to be asked about using some for projects.
Nice job. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Very helpful, tape measures can be a little wonky and creates variation in my billet. Two other things help in my experience. Cutting with a decent bandsaw and making dies for your press. A decent finish cuts clean up time dramatically, and using a bandsaw reduces waste. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing!
Loved the clemson shirt! Go tigers!
Quick question from a new knife maker. When your doing canister Damascus what thickness for the canister wall do you use? Also If you were doing it by hand would you use a thinner wall canister or would you stick with the same? Thanks in advance.
Wondering how many denim shirts do you own?
