Cable and band mill blade San Mai. Muriatic acid etch. The brass button came from the peddle of an old piano. The sheath is hand stitched 8/9 oz vegetable tan with a full deer skin lining. This was my first attempt at Forge welding ,really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

That's some kind of crazy awesome. Nice job.

Thanks . This really set the hook in me to do more. I picked up a bigger regulator so that should help with the open welds. 

That looks awesome, I'm diggin the recycled piano parts. Great lookin blade for a 1st attempt. I got over 300ft of cable to play with and I'm still trying to figure it out, sometimes it works, sometimes it dont.....

I think that pretty much sums up what I was thinking. Well done, Bo.

Truly a work of art , the butt cap is very ingenious and the blade etch resembles me of flesh or something organic. Thanks for sharing

What is the blue piece made of?acrilic?

Thanks guys. The blue is turquoise . You can order it from Jantz of Gun and Knife . I tried forging another piece of cable . And could only get to 2045° . I had to lengthen my forge out For the longer cable. Im using a brick pile forge so it's easier to adjust for size. 

I'm using a 3/4" Frosty T burner I built ....... So I picked up the parts to build a second one . I'm going to run it on its own propane tank . This gives me a lot of flexibility.
