fishfinder401 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi everyone, i decided to etch one of my 80crv2 knives that i did a hamon with much longer than normal, and this interesting, almost damascus like pattern came out, the knife seems to be structurally fine, but im just wondering what caused this, and if it is good, bad or just looks cool. if it helps, it is only in the tip, and along the hamon line along the whole blade( harder to get that on camera). as far as i know i didn't overheat it at all, and i have a decent amount( to me at least) of 80crv2 knives that i have made and this is the first i have seen this on. thanks Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Looks like alloy banding. If you got that 80CrV2 from Aldo he'll send you fresh steel for free - Tom had a similar issue with some of his 80CrV2 knives we heat treated at my forge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the alloy banding cause any,noticeable effects in performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
