wel i may call my self a smith to only not in knifes swords shields or plate steel armor or other plate steel craft items...But ChainMail started becuase i was qurios when playing oblivion a game now there is a new one out Skyrim Yay. but when playing oblivion i was wearing a iron chainmail and later a mithril and i was wondering how they get crafted so looked at school at the pc and found close up photo of chainmail 4in1 and emadiatly i was able to make that one and not that long ago someone told me about 6in1 so i tryed that one and that one is now my fav weave or how you want to call it
but i hope one day to smith (old way) a blade (sword) but i don't think i wil ever get that opertunity becuase i dont know any smiths that make weapons and armor here in netherland >_< SAD ME
I was lucky to have a friend who offered to teach me how to make folding knives. We don't actually use a forge though so I'm really not a Smith in the traditional way. We design custom folders, hand grind all the little mechanical parts and blades, then heat-treat everything in a kiln for hardening. We get our steel in billets from some incredible blacksmiths who are the ones who fold it.
I hope that you can find some guidance in the blade-making arena. It sounds like you are pretty resourceful so keep on looking and I wish you the best of luck! ^_^
now i kan make 4in1 6in1 8in1 and CIR and CIR sheets Lol soon try to learn more but before that i`m making a chainmail piece of the size of a A4 paper (I´m already at the half of it XD)
yea i realy hope to learn to make a blade in old school way but i know it is HOT work ^_^
