How do you get the steel to look like that?

William, To get a San Mai blade. I forge weld a 1080 core with damascus on both sides. when you grind the hollow it removes the damascus on the thin sections leaving the 1080 core. It leaves a straight steel cutting edge with no decarb zones that a damascus cutting edge can leave you. I then etch the blade to show the pattern.

Here are some pics of a Stainless and carbon San Mai I did on a hunter. I Have a razor on the bench now with the same Stainless San Mai. I will post it when I complete it.
Carpedm, I do it for both fun and profit.
