thank you, if your wondering on how to create that sort of twist in the handle the handle edges were beveled creating 8 sides, this gives the apearence of more twists, this handle was twisted once I beleive -
I understand that Damascus steel and Katana steel have certain qualities e.g maintaining sharpness flexibility shock resistance etc, has anybody made a knife by forging or cutting your knife blank, but thinner, the same thickness of the desired edge out of a high carbon steel, HHS etc etc, then covering both sides in weld then grinding it down? I know it sounds cheap but wouldn’t this make a high quality knife if done well? could you make a steel hunting bow this way? This has been relocated to the proper section. You posted rude language in your profile, we deleted it, then you replaced it. Then refused to talk with staff, you left us no choice, account is now banned.

There doesn't seem to be a Letter opener or Railroad spike page as far as i can see so I posted this RR spike letter opener here; this is the second thing I have made with through blacksmithing, I heard that railroad spike steel wasn't suitable for knives, so I made a letter opener instead

I was wondering if you can make Damascus steel from welding chain to some chrome bicycle rims? It's my understanding that chrome plating is made of Chromium? with this in turn make a stainless steel hybrid?
