Damask swordcore
Rought core for the patternwelded spatha. There you can see the four twisted rods for the core. They are all made by C45W, C60 an 15Ni20. The two bars in the middle have more C45W because this steel is ropyer and more breakingresistand than the C60. The two outer rods have more C60. This steel is a bit more briddle but flexibel and hard. All four bars are made from 33 layers.
The edge will be forges from Ck75, 2842 and 2714 steel more or less 500 to 600 layers to get a nice breakingresistand and sharp edge.
These four bars are the work from 5 days. I don't work fast for such a complex blade, because all detail could produce a gab or destroy the pattern.
