the branch Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hello there dear smithers! My name is Jens Michael Strassegger. I´ve been lurking around on this forum for a while without realy doing anything except a small comment here and there. Anyways, my addiction or whatever you choose to call it started 3 years ago and I havent been able to lay down my hammer since. (Its a bugger when its time to scratch that itch on the head) Anyways I'll save the rest for the introduction thread. Here are some of my latest blades. (made in the last... 3 weeks) Hope you like it. Feel free to check out my deviantart user where I have posted other pictures aswell! Deviantart Page Best wished from Norway -Strassegger Quote

felix24 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 nice work my man. that's some cool pattern welding . Quote
christian Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 these are great! what steels did you use? I really like the patterns, howd you make them? Quote
bigfootnampa Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I like those! They are sleek and stylish. Nice work! Quote
CurlyGeorge Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Really beautiful knives. You have learned well. Thank you for sharing them with us. :) Quote
the branch Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 these are great! what steels did you use? I really like the patterns, howd you make them? Thank you for the compliments! The steel is i think based on Norwegian clasification cause the carbon steel i normally use are called "20" (1%carbon) and "15" (0.8% carbon) and the nicklesteel i use in the patternwelding is called "15/20" so... yea... Its highcarbon steel with nicklesteel added into the mix? xD The one with the deep etch and random pattern I made with a old lamination (iron and steel) scrap which I had laying around, I thought that it was a bit of a waste so I wacked it out, twisted it and used the twisted lamination in a lamination... if that makes sense.

christian Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 haha guess that shows how much i know lol and how far above 1% is it steve? i have a few pieces of it so i would like to get my info correct on my material lol Quote
Steve Sells Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 C 0.98-1.20 Si 0.15-0.35 Mn 0.25-0.45 P 0.025 max S 0.015 max Cr 1.40-1.60 Ni 0.25 max Cu 0.30 max FYI to be a stainless it needs at least 12.5% free chrome, not total content but chrome not bound up in carbides, This is why D-2 is not a stainless.

the branch Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 I mainly use three types of steel not counting the normal iron bars. Its "20 steel": C 1,0 - Si 0,30 - Mu 0,45 - P max0,015 S max0,015 - Cr 0,15 and "15 steel": C 0,75 - Si 0,30 - Mu 0,73 - P max 0,020 S max 0,020 And the "15/20 nickle steel" C 0,75 - Si 0,30 - Mu 0,40 - P max 0,020 - S max 0,01 Ni 2,00 Quote
