![]() ![]() He looked lost! I walked up to him and he is mumbling to himself about how he can’t get his knife to harden! His canister failed so he just made his second attempt out of the spit bar (which was mild steel!) So we walk over to the BBQ and I tell him, use some of this high carbon steel and forge weld it onto the edge of your knife! That would give him a soft blade, but a hard edge! He is an excellent smith and had a hardened edge forged out of carbon steel in no time. But as I'm working on my piece, I look up and see Justin just turning around in circles. My billet was just a cracked lump of steel in what could only generously be called a knife shape. I then popped my canister open and was feeling pretty good! It looked great on the inside. I only pressed it into the preliminary stage, never really getting a good compress. After what felt like forever (20-25 min) I pulled it out and pressed it, but unbeknownst to me, the press had two stages: a a preliminary press, then a primary press of the material. After welding the canister closed, I stuck it in the forge and waited for it to get up to heat. So I put the BBQ steel in the "back" of the canister, knowing that I would use that end as the handle of my knife and keep it away from the cutting edge. But I did know that the powdered steel I was using in my canister was good steel. I didn’t know what was high carbon (good steel) and what was mild (shitty steel). I began filling my can with whiteout and harvesting steel from the BBQ. That would have been too easy! So, canister damascus seemed to be the best route. Following a couple of grueling rounds, two of the top-performing smiths go back home to build the intricate William Wallace broadsword.Upon seeing the BBQ, my first thought was, "Damn I really hope that spit bar is high carbon, I could easily take that 1/2" round and make a great knife out of it." Of course it wasn't. Four smiths, James Welker, Lyle Nordquist, Ben Burcher, and Paul Crosby are first asked to scale down a 9-foot long dagger to a 1/5 it’s size. In the episode, we meet a fresh batch of four new smiths, who are required to use their skills to recreate this very sword. As per reports, William Wallace had used the sword at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 and the Battle of Falkirk in 1298. He had led the resistance against the English occupation of Scotland during the era of the Wars of Scottish Independence. The 5th episode is called ‘The Giant Sword of William Wallace’, an antique two-handed sword that was apparently owned by the Scottish knight William Wallace. ![]() Certain seasons are also streaming on Netflix.
