  1. This is my first forged knife. The blade is done as far as i can take it before heat treat i still need to smooth out the handle profile yet. I am making this for a friend, he makes fly rods so i am trading him. I've made a few stock removal knives but this is my first actual forged blade. I made it from a file. Any ideas on how to finish the handle? I will post final picture when i am done.
  2. thanks for all the input guys
  3. Ive been told that pallet strapping is only mid carbon about .40 and wont make a tough enough blade. I know the band saw blade is tough but dont you end up with carbon migration from the high carbon steel to the lower carbon steel thus lower the whole carbon content of the finished piece.
  4. I have a question. Is there anything as far as a scrap steel that you can get 15n20 out of, and if not where can you purchase some. I would like to try and make some damascus. Also are there any other combinations that work well other than 1095 and 15n20. Maybe some scrap steels? Any input from anybody would be great. I guess i should let you guys know my location too i am in Michigan.
