forged this from wrought iron ,mild steel ,and w-1 for the edge..The blade is 5 1/8" long and overall length is 10 1/4" .It was clay hardened in water.

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.

Groovy!!

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 

Beautiful up to now....when do we get drool on the finished piece. :)
