A 5/8 custom coming to life.
Pretty pretty!
Mike
Nice one. Congrats! Can't wait to see it finished.
What steel did you use for damask?
52100,5160,203E and 15N20
Cool, how did you layer them? You hammer by hand, power hammer, or press? Interested in your process...
I make my own using old fashioned arm power.I purchased this particular piece as a billet due to some time constraints.Here is a picture of a similar blend stacked forged out into a long square bar twisted then hammered flat.Attachment 228939Attachment 228940
Looks like fun :<0)
I know how fun forging can be, but there is also a short cut to get close to where you are now:
Alabama Damascus Razor Blank / ADS0073-DKB - Alabama Damascus Steel & Cutlery
Still fun to beat steel into submission, especially if you have had a bad day at work!
