    Default DM-006_Damaskus - K510 core san-mai

    Hi to all,

    I start to work on my new razor.
    First of all I have to make some damaskus.

    For damask I used 15N20 and mild steel




    All welded together


    And all that into forge on 1300 °C


    After welding I strecht them to plate 30 cm long. Cut it on 4 pieces, clean it weld it together and again to forge.
    Afer that I strech that plate on 20 cm long and cut it on half. Put silversteel (Bohler K510) in midle and back to forge.

    This is what I get




    249 layers in total.

    With help from my forum friends in Croatia I decide to work on this design...

    Design was ready to copy on steel...


    After some rough grinding...


    Dimension check


    After some free-hand grinding on wheel 150mm, P80, P150, P240








    I hope this is not to much pictures for you guys.

    I ordered checkering file and now I have to wait to put some grip serrations on handle and drill pin hole.
    After that blade will be anneled, hardened and tempered. But this is new story.
