June 5, 201412 yr Great job! I am a big fan of lower layer count and the nickle. The dark handle enhances the Damascus. I love it! Dave
June 5, 201412 yr 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!
June 6, 201412 yr Author 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!
