      Hey FZ, was wondering if you would be willing to share your crucible recipe. Prefab crucibles are too expensive to be disposable and are known for cracking at high temps such as are needed for crucible steel and if that happens during the heating process I could lose my steel. Yet yours seem to hold together perfectly and withstand the high temperatures. Been tinkering with knife making for a little while now for my hunting and fishing buddies and myself but wanted to delve into crucible steel to make a couple of sets of field knives for my buddies and I for hunting and fishing out of wootz. I would really appreciate any help or advice or recipes I was also wondering; in your testing, what is the average Rockwell hardness on these blades and do you think they would be suitable for workshop tools. If so I'm asking because I would like to make myself some marking knives, plane blades, and chisels for the workshop as well but not sure if this type of steel would be suitable. I use my chisels quite aggressively, and my planes on end grain for shooting which is hard on those fine edges and require me rehoning my Edge quite often when using on hardwoods like ironwood and hard maple. Do you think this still would hold up to shop tools?

      He’s also not a certified master smith, he did not make it with Japanese iron sand in the traditional forging process, he did not carve out a drip/debris channel in the scabbard, the tsuba is not existent, he glued the tang into the tsuka, he did not Clay temper the Katana for differential heat treatment, and he designed the scabbard, tsuba, and tsuka himself rather than sending it out to a master to be completed.
      Point is, there’s a number of reasons it’s not a katana, beyond just the size.

      @@jb3760 believe it or not, none of that actually matters. I believe a real katana (nihonto) is only classified as such by Japanese law if 3 conditions are met:
      1. If the blade is of tamahagane
      2. If the blade was forged in a forge with an appropriate shrine
      3. The sword was made as a piece of art rather than a weapon and thus must be seen as 'beautiful'

    • @mattnewcomb4147
      @mattnewcomb4147 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would guess charcoal as a reducer (the opposite of oxidizer). From what I know oxygen burns up the carbon in steel so it looks like he is putting it in an air tight container with a reducer to keep any oxygen from touching the steel. Then the crystals are probably some kind of flux to help any junk float out of the mix. I know other people use borax which is a fine powder. Old wootz steels used clean sand or glass as a flux so could be that. I'm no blacksmith but I think it is really interesting to watch and learn and guess and infer.
