TO SEE OUR OTHER AUCTIONS Get your HANDS on it Blade Material ... The materials that we use are mostly an all tool steel mix, but we have in the past, and still do on a regaulr basis use other iron/steels as well as pure nickle and meteoric iron. Traditionally the materials employed were steel and iron, twith the only differences being the carbon and phosphorous content, along with a few other trace elements as well. While this was accpetable 500 to 1000 years ago, in today's world, there are better choices. All blades are 100% hand forged from 1095, 1060, 5160, 1095 Electrite, L-6, 9260 and a few other steels, depending upon use and design. We use no recycled materials, only new stock to make our blades. The steels that we use most are: 1060, 1084, 1095 is traditional and sought after American high Carbon Steel that is prized for knife blade. 5160 , 9260 , L-6/15-N-20 , O-1 , W-2 , WHC, A-2, D-2 , M-2, 1018 , A203D/E , Meteoric Iron, Pure Nickel , Wrought Iron As well as others . We have on a custom basis done hand smelted and refined shear steel blades welded to wrought iron as well. If we can weld it, and it has the properties we need, we can probably use it! Choosing the right material combinations is of utmost importance in pattern welding. We choose our material combinations with cutting ability as the first consideration and then contrast/pattern as a secondary element. Traditionally, this material was made from high carbon and low carbon steels/irons. While this combination mades a very good 500 plus years ago, and while it is still in use today, we we feel that the modern alloys open an entirely new aspect to pattern welding. The use of high nickel/high chrome content medium and high carbon steels can produce vibrant and very striking patterns and contrasts without sacrificing any cutting ability. But the use of these materials can require a great deal of skill...much more than the traditional high/low carbon combinations. One must remember that no matter what materials you are using in the combination, if it will not "stand on its own" as a blade steel, it will not make a superior pattern welded blade. However, there is one exception to this rule and that is in the composite method of blade construction. This technique can allow the use of higher alloy steels that would be otherwise unsuitable for a sword to be used to the material's full effect (Please see our composite section for more information on this below)I personally feel that this material can out cut a homogenous material blade of the same materials due to the fact that you will get a different "wear pattern" on the edge resulting in a "saw tooth" effect to the edge. Now there is a great deal of controversy on this and excellent arguements are being made on both sides but I feel that properly forged and thermally treated pattern welded blades are some of the finest that are available. Granted, these are expensive due to the time and effort they take but to the conisuer of this art form these are the epitomy of the bladesmithing arts. Damascus Steel ... Damascus steel, the very words conjure images of legendary blades with near supernatural qualities. Pattern welded steel has been for centuries equated with weapons of the highest quality, reserved for royalty and persons of means. Blades of Damascus indeed possessed unc...
