Salvaged enough of the billet to make a knife. I think the pattern turned out great. It’s about 150 layers of twisted Damascus.
Long day, but learned a lot. Made my first 150 layer twisted damascus. Then at the very end, I stepped away for a second and the forge got too hot and burned most of it up. May have enough for a knife, we will see. Lost about a day and a half of work. But sometimes its good to learn the hard way, unfortunately I think I expanded my kids vocabulary a bit in the process.
A couple angles showing off the tang and liners. This is spoken for.

Well I heat treated the San mai from the other night and it split the core down this center of the spine. I have read of this being an issue with 80crv2 San mai. I will make some changes and try again. But it did grind out, it’s just a different profile now. Did a test coffee etch to see the contrast.
Another one done. It is spoken for. Thanks for following, here are the details.

Almost there. But it will be a few days till I get back out there. Going on 12 hours with no power and it’s cold.
