Now, the heat treatment process is made only using the forge, which is what the skyforge was designed Put the center of mass closer to the handle, which would make them much more wieldable, and easy to use. It would increase the cutting ability of the sword, while with the better steel, steel having good edge retention, and no fear of fracture propagation. Now using a technique passed down generation to generation, the smith would hammer the steel to evenly distribute the carbon load throughout the steel before putting it back in the forge.ĭue to having a more carbon rich steel, and having a smaller grain size due to the heat treatment process, the smiths could make the swords with a leaner grind, and thinner cross section, which would do two things: Once enriched with more carbon, the carbon would be distributed more towards the outside. Due to the series of pipes, and them being positioned lower, the carbonizing region of the forge fire would be much larger, and the smiths would know where it is, and to put the bars there. Which is also why the Dragonborn can't make skyforge steel despite using the forge. They're specially trained to use it to its full potential. The people who use the skyforge aren't just regular blacksmiths. Training and knowledge of those who use the forge: This is where the hardened steel would be put to be tempered after the quench. Made for a good distribution of the heat within, and to have a constant airflow. There is a hollowed out space at the back of the forge. This leads me to believe that there is a pipe, or series of pipes, positioned lower than those of a regular forge, which have a series of holes, angled towards the back (towards the hollow), made specially for more even distribution of the air and heat. The bellows are in an enclosed structure outside of the forge. The forge is significantly larger than a regular forge, making it easier for the heat to spread out over a bigger area. When you look at the forge three things stand out as to why it has a better construction than a regular forge: Training and knowledge of those who use the forge This will cover three basic reasons as to why the Skyforge made steel is better than regular steel.
