Regarding shear, Richard Furrer's site has some useful video content regarding the process.
http://www.doorcountyforgeworks.com/Steel_Making.html As does this thread. http://www.swordforum.com/forums/sho...r-Steel-Making Richard is a member here, so if he's inclined to share an opinion I would hope he spots these two kaskara threads.

Hello,
Nice kaskara. The blade is not made from shear steel but purposely pattern welded. Here are two links to 19th century German sabres with "damascus" blades. Seems to have been a fashion at the time. http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15333 http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12784 Emanuel |

Damascus Kaskara
Emanuel: Thank you for the links. This clears up some questions that i had.
For sure i knew it was a true layer-weld on this kaskara and the other one that i posted. I just didn't know where these blades would have been made. Thanks again........Dave. |
