TheCzechBlacksmith Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hello there se have small problem we have a school project we are making soo big sword like a 140 cm long bleade and about 50 cm long handle or longer its forged from truck spring its oil quenching steel we have everithing but not that big forge where we can heat this long blade and my question its quenching quench or not somebody told me no somebody yes but is soo hard to do it what is your reasson for this topic every opinion i accept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) WOW! That's way too large to be used so don't worry about hardening and tempering it. Just bring it to critical temperature and let it cool in still air to relieve the stresses caused by forging. An un-blown wood fire will serve perfectly. Grind, polish and mount the grips.Remember that beast isn't going to EVER be a usable sword or even bush chopper without a proper heat treating ovens and equipment it'd be just plain dangerous to hit anything with.I really want to see pictures of it finished please.Frosty The Lucky.

kayakersteve Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Please don't swing it as it appears the handle portion is pounded onto blade section by bending the steel around the blade portion. This would not be safe to swing. If it were forge welded, that MAY be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
