Video Description
This video is my second attempt at making ball bearing canister Damascus, also known as dragon scale Damascus. Instead of using a traditional cube canister, I built a custom flat canister and added a monosteel 15N20 core layer.
I chose 15N20 to create a bright-etching edge that contrasts with the darker ball bearing layers on the sides. The final result turned out better than expected.
Thanks for watching!
