I should have known. So tell me more about twistcore. Is it as simple as it sounds? (twist then bang flat? I'm sure there's more to it than that...)

The trick is to line up the patterns during forge welding and to keep it from untwisting during temper. edit: of course still san-mai

How does this compare to standard pattern welding (i.e. modern "damascus" or Viking swords, etc.)? Is it the same basic concept? You seem to enjoy san mai.

It's weird, but for some reason this thing looks even better on my cell phone screen. I have no idea why this is, but I couldn't help noticing.

Yikes, it's 5:30am here. Why am I awake still? Good thing I don't have to be anywhere in the morning...or afternoon...

This might sound silly but how dose the twist core affect the structural integrity of the blade compared to another san mai blade of equal layers?

Its just another way of doing it. As a technique it was likely invented as another way to homogenise carbon content. So long as it is nicely done, not bodged, there is no reason for this to affect the integrity of the blade. Who would bother with such a technique if it weakened the blade?

It's just a different pattern achieved by the twistcore forgewelding. It would act the same if it was done in sanmai, hon san mai etc.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
