windancer Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Great job! I am a big fan of lower layer count and the nickle. The dark handle enhances the Damascus. I love it! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benton Frisse Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 That blade is beautiful. What steel did you start with and how many layers? Any twists and how many refolds! That dark color is so awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loneforge Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 That blade is beautiful. What steel did you start with and how many layers? Any twists and how many refolds! That dark color is so awesome! This blade is 29 layers total. 15 layers of .030" 1095 and 14 layers of.003" Nickel 201. There are no folds or rewelds. It was all welded at once in a can. After the billet was welded it was drilled to make the circular patterns that you see peeking out there. Next time I do this pattern I will make a higher count to get more drama. Thanks for looking and all the kind words Gents. You inspire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
