Its actually forged 52100. The tang is fully taperred.
-
Hunting knife.
-
Done. The blade is actually ball bearing encased in AK5 stainless, which I first overforged somehow, as its quite bit softer under hammer than 52100 and then it etched also quite dark, which I didnt expected. The chloride eats it like nothing. Well well. Next time.
-
Now to file the bronze. Darn work I need small mill.
-
The spine si progressively sharper towards the tip and quite dagger like right there.
-
This is ball bearing core with two strips of thick saw and some stainless over it. But I kind of overforged the stainless. Its gonna be interesting etched though.
-
And finished as well.
-
Glued it together finally. This is gonna be good for a pig roast.
-
And a bit of grinding later..... I think it will etch better once hardened.
-
Its flat now, about 120 layers on each side and edge from german carbon steel san maied in the middle. I think the pattern will really come out when I grind it.

Its one of easiest heat treats around...... Except my would go tad soft with that amount of tempering. I use just tesco canola frying oil, works like charm with mosts springs. I have recently tested one blade from this. Not a substantial piece of metal, but I just could not break it. Chipped slightly on the nail, but that game is more about the edge geometry and this was quite thin.

It takes shape. Slowly.
