Marcus J. Ranum Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I've been doing some form of knife-making since I was in high school and ground a "prison shiv" out of one of my parents' nice Solingen steel tableware. Nowadays I'm doing basic damascus stuff, mostly small knives and random objects, just doing this for fun to see what I learn. I have no idea why but I've been on a kick of layering 1095 and victorian wrought iron into blades. Living in Pennsylvania steel and coal country, as I do, there's lots of interesting bits of metal and arcana (and old helpful machinists) around. (habaki by yours truly on wakizashi blade by yours truly, Dragonfly forge, 2018) (bread-scoring scalpeldashi by yours truly, low layer 1095/15n20 twist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
