senator Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hello everyone. It's been years since I have posted here. I am looking for information on Billy Merritt's 5 steel 75 layer damascus pattern. If anyone here could point me to resources that I may have overlooked it would be greatly appreciated. Respect, Senator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason0012 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I wish I had thought to take notes while he was around. I recall this much, 5160, 1095, 52100, and 15n20 were in the mix. The high chromium in 52100 made it touchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senator Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thank You. Currently looking at 52100,4340,8670,01,15n20. You were not kidding about the 52100. What a royal pain to work with. I appreciate the response. Senator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason0012 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I recall him saying he was using O2, but I have had others who worked with Billy as well disagree. It was quite a long time ago and I dont recall the 5th material. They all hardened, and all etched different. Billy was always up to throwing something odd into a billet to see what it would do.

jason0012 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I dont know if it helps any, but this little blade was a piece of Billy's steel he left at my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
