John Martin Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) This is my first piece of damascus ever. The first two are of it right out of the etch. The third is it after is been cleaned and dried. I now know, that the etch is always darker, and that file, rr spike, file w2, 10390ish, w2 do not contrast that much. It's six layers. It's a pearing knife for my mom, 7 or 8" overall, 3.5" blade, and like 3.5-4.5" handle. Edited March 8, 2009 by m_brothers Quote
Chad J Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Great Job! Forge Welding for some is easy, and for some (like my self) proving to be quite difficult.:D Quote
Ecart Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I like the shape. It sort of reminds me of a pocket knife. I'll bet it will serve your mother well. My wife wants me to sharpen her kitchen knives and to make her some more steak knives. Quote
John Martin Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks guys, I'll finish it next week with the scales. I'll post pictures too. Quote
Mills Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Boy! you have come along well and far. Good work. Quote
John Martin Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Thank you mills, that means a lot to me, but I still have so so so so much more to learn. my next attempt will be around 30-40 layers if I do it right, and don't screw up my welds. Quote
