Elemental Metal Creations Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 A small knife that started out as 1/2 in. wire rope. This was my first successful forge weld and only my second attempt at forge welding. Etched in hot vinegar for 30 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The handle would look cool cleaned up and etched as well. I'd be a little concerned about what looks like a crack in the second photo. Pretty sure it's where a strand didn't fully weld( I guess that would be considered an inclusion?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental Metal Creations Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Das, I thought about cleaning the handle but decided not to on this one. Actually there are a couple of inclusions in the blade. I'm not to worried about it on this one as it will not get much use. I was just happy that I was able to get it to weld this good. I have a lot of cable in 1/2" and 1" to practice with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
