Hi every one, I made this damascus knife about a month ago and I thought it might be nice to post it here. I made this damascus using 4 layers of 5160 and 4 layers of 15N20 steel, I forged them and folded them 5 times so there is 256 layers, it is hardened to rockwell 58 then I etched it to show the layers and grain in the steel, I used curly Koa for the handle. The knife is 8 inches long, I only work with steel in the winter time, it is too hot in the summer, I hope you folks like the picture, aloha.

You did a beautiful job on the blade. I like the simplicty of just wood and steel without embelishments. Anyone would be proud to wear that sticker.
Now, go out and kill a hawg do some skinnin' .
 
Hi everyone, thanks for the kind words, I don't make knifes very often but when I do it is fun, I want to make a sword but I need to get a bigger forge, I have a few more pieces that are not done yet but who knows when I will finish them. Thanks again and aloha.
