Another patternweld/W2 sanmai kitchen knife, and a gnarly wagontire wrought/W2 sanmai WIP

[DanielC]

Same pattern weld as before off of same bar of 216 random I made. Also the wrought jacket (Not finished grinding, just wanted to etch to see what was going on with the wrought) on the other is from the huge wagon tire wrought that was recently sold by Craig Hashimoto. In which has good characteristics such as not cracking or splitting at the sharp corners when I turns it from a huge chunk of wagon tire to appropriate bar stock. Its either that, or I am pretty awesome at forging?   ....

For future jackets with the gnarly wrought, I am going to refine it much further to drive out all of the slags.

That's beautiful! That is exactly what I am trying to learn how to do. Great Job.
