Just returned from another 2 1/2 day stint at Tharwa valley Forge.....
I took down the remaining folded steel/damascus billet that I brought home from my first visit.
After a lot of thinking, I decided to make 2 Outdoor knives, one each for my two son's.
Each blade has 704 layers made up by Forge welding alternate layers of 1075 steel and 15N20 high Nickel content steel.
The billet started as 11 layers and was forged and folded 6 times resulting in the final material to make the blades....
Handles started as blocks of timber, Bolsters/Guards started as a blocks of brass.......
Needless to say there is a LOT that goes into these blades and I'm stoked with the result:
Blade 1 - For Kim - he's a left hander :
Blade 2 - For Rowan - (he's normal
)
I can't speak highly enough of The Forge.....and I know I'll be back for another sweat session !!
