Joshua States 1,203 Posted February 19 I'm not opposed to stock removal. Sometimes it makes a lot more sense than forging anyway. I was wondering about a San-Mai application between two pieces of PW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering about a San-Mai application between two pieces of PW. It would be ideal. I have a straight razor underway that's wrought/26c3 San Mai. There is a much higher risk of failure with wrought/mild steel than another carbon steel. I'd like to try 26c3 sandwiched between 15n20 someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniil 14 Posted March 12 Hello, this is an experimental blade made of medium carbon steel (I can’t say the exact grade of steel, we are conducting chemical analyzes) In my experience, such large grains (nie, nioi) can only be obtained on medium carbon steel, on steels with a carbon content of 0.7-1.2 this is not even close (dozens of experiments were carried out) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniil 14 Posted March 12 I did this tanto a very long time, from the same steel 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
