Rhettbarnhart Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have made one knife from cable but this is my first actual pattern welded blade. I used scrap metal for the two steels and didn't quite get the contrast I wanted but here it is Overall length 6 3/4 in Blade length 3 in Handle length 3 3/4 Blade is 1/8 in thick at thickest point The guard is brass The handle is desert ironwood Comments and criticism welcome Btw those spots on the blade are from me getting the blade too hot during ht :_( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccustomknives Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Nice usable knife. B) But one question. You've got a power hammer and that low of a layer count? (a cheat is to twist it until the billet is round it will look like more layers.) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for not havin more layers is becuz the layers were about the thickness I wanted;this was kinda a shot in the dark so i didn't wanna have too much time in a failed attempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loneforge Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Rhett you may have picked the brains of other makers, but it was your hands that made the knife! Keep them coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccustomknives Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I personally like the low layer count, it gives a bold personality to the blade. A power hammer or press makes life a lot easier, I sure wish I had one. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I like the low layer as well. Beautiful knife, I'd love to see better pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
