First Damascus Razor 8/8 3 pin french tip random pattern with deer antler scales
lots of pictures...
I just finished my first Hand made Damascus razor.
Equipment was basic,
A cheap anvil from Harbor freight (which I broke in the process)
An 8 inch grinder,
a propane and a map gas torch, and a hollowed out fire brick forge.
Steel is 15N20, amd 1095
Grind is 1/4 hollow
I made the scales out of deer antler, and the pins are nickel-silver
I boiled the antler to straighten them, with good effect.

Wow... Very cool. Did that take a lot of heat cycles to forge weld?

More than I care to count
I was worried I would burn off the carbon
Went through 4 small map has bottles
Until I have better equipment, I'm going to buy Damascus already made, and just do the shapingLast edited by Mike_ratliff; 07-14-2014 at 02:42 AM.
