Christopher M Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 I like it! But since it is "scandi inspired" I would say it's a far cry from "small", a small scandi is less than 2" long Why clay harden when it's a laminate? And how is it sandwiched? Wrought/mild/W1/mild/Wrought ? It's not sandwiched ,the bars are stacked edgewise and welded together, top WI, middle mild steel and for the edge W-1 And I think just the shape reminded me of scandi style blades and it's kinda small as hunters go I think.

Christopher M Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks to all To finish Stefflus's question I clay hardened it to see if there was any carbon migration to the mild steel and also to have a nice progression of hardness to the edge. Just artistic licence I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
