How I Make Pattern Layered Damascus Steel
Welcome to Sword Wolf Forge. In this video, I am walking through the complete process of making Damascus steel right here in the shop. I wanted to take the opportunity to show you exactly how I forge my pattern layered steel from start to finish. I cover all the essential prep work required to forge pattern layered steel successfully. For this build, I am stacking 15N20 steel for its high nickel contrast alongside 1084 steel, completely avoiding 80CRV2 due to its frustrating decarb issues. You will see the entire method, from cutting five inch lengths and grinding off contaminants on the 2 by 72, to a thorough acetone wipe down that helps prevent delamination. Instead of using harsh flux that tears up the forge lining, I prefer soaking the MIG welded billet in a bucket of kerosene to block out oxygen before heating it up. Watch as I set the initial welds using a 12 ton Coal Ironworks press, draw the billet out, surface grind it, and restack the steel. I repeat this process until I achieve an eighty layer Damascus billet measuring eight inches long, two inches wide, and a quarter inch thick. The steel is now perfectly prepped for stock removal to keep the pattern integrity intact for a future project. #swordwolfforge #forging #bladesmith #bladesmithing #damascussteel #forge
