Finally got around to making some feather Damascus. Should get it heat treated next week and then turn it into some Scandi knives.
Dan the steel is 15N20 and 1080. I see you have made a forge if you ever need any 15N20 I have a pile of it I will never live long enough to forge it all.
Thanks Roman,just got to get it on a knife,I am going for cataract surgery in a week so my knife making is going to come to a halt for about a month.
We wish you well Cal. Get 'er fixed and get back to business soon! I just bought some 15N20 from Rob & Marilyn. Dang, I should have asked! Dan
Absolutely beautiful Damascus, Cal! How long did you etch it to get that contrast to come out so nicely? Jim T
about 15 seconds. When it is hardened the final etch will be about 1 hour. Here is the final product ready for the handle.
