Friction Razor (2x6)

Air date: Oct 28, 2019

Nicolás, Adrián, Manuel and Miguel face a new challenge in transforming horse rasps and a piece of 1070 steel incorporating both types of metal to make a friction razor. They must carry out the fusion process of the two materials through the Chaldean style, similar to Damascus steel, multi-laminated. The friction knife or faithful knife is one of the first folding knives that existed, with a blade that folds over the handle. It became popular in Spain in the 16th century when Carlos I promulgated a law that prohibited people who were not part of the nobility from carrying swords and long-bladed weapons. Its use was the legal shortcut that the mob found to continue carrying long bladed weapons.
