One of my friends decided to start his own blacksmithing shop. On Saturdays for a small fee he gives us access to the shop and tools, along with instruction. Last Saturday I got an idea and started working on a little something.

If I remember right that was taken right after It was quenched for hardening. Still fairly rough, but it's starting to look like a knife!

It's made from a single billet of twisted Damascus. Should look pretty good when it's polished and acid etched to bring out the contrast between the O1 tool steel and San Mai layers.
