bobasaurus Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I forged a low layer count damascus billet from 1080 and 15n20, then made this knife from half of it. It's a thin chef knife with a Tasmanian myrtle wood handle. The x pattern comes from the core of the twisted billet, which I cut into and exposed before re-welding the pieces. Even 1/2" back from the tip is only 0.010" thick, including the spine. I had trouble with it warping in heat treatment, but was able to straighten it.

Daswulf Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Very nice looking knife. The pattern is really attention grabbing and fun to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will W. Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very nice! I like how you kept the handle simple, it forces the eye to the pattern, and doesn't make the knife look too busy. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
