Wootz and damascus knives work in progress
Someone asked about it, so here goes. This is the work in progress thread for the Damascus santoku I am making (steel made by 32t during a previous meet at Mike Blue's shop) and a wootz meat slicer.
This is after forging

This is after rough grinding to clean it up

This is after heat treatment. The santoku was dead straight after the quench. The slicer warped a bit during the first normalization but rather than straightening it hot, I decided to leave it, normalize it a couple of times, and straighten it in tempering.
