This 1690s Pistol Is Hiding a Surprise!

Very cool! The Met Arms and Armor has an awesome Instagram page as well that's worth checking out too. It's amazing what craftsmen were able to make with simple tools and no electricity back in the day.

Works fine. It's just ball bearing rebound demo on 2 good anvils and a chunk of mild steel.

Here's one that was shared on another knifemaking forum. Now we all can see why damascus from Pakistan is of such poor quality from a functional standpoint. The way these folks heat their initial billets (stacking a pile of cold pieces in the forge at once) would burn out a huge amount of carbon, not to mention the grain growth that would occur for the times at welding/forging temps. Perhaps they edited out the grain refinement steps..... IMO, the smith at the power hammer has decent skills, demonstrating how much you can get done with a power hammer (initial weld, draw out, fold, re-weld, square and twist seems to all one heat).

I hope it's OK to post this video here. After all - it is Shop Talk for "bladesmiths". If not, I will understand.
See if this floats your boat.
This is the first installment of four 1-hour-long videos of Lin Rhea demonstrating and teaching his method of creating his world famous "X-Rhea" knife.
