I like mixing steels to get different color in my damascus ....here is a billet with 1,2 % carbon steel, wrought iron, 15n20, O2 and low carbon steel.

A very nice knife ....everything in one package - keep up the good work

Very nice indeed .........still remember visiting your shop back in 2006 .....I was travelling NZ for 6 weeks with my family and we suddenly saw a sign with a knife on it .....decided to follow the sign and ended up at your shop ....did not forge my knives at that time so it was a whole new thing to me. Cannot remember if it was Dunedin .....?

Very fine and with clean lines .....lots of good stuff comes from Scandinavia

Made this knife several years ago but took it out yesterday to make a new carrier strap for it. The knife is made as an allround knife for hunting and bushcraft. 3 layer blade with low carbon sides and 1% carbonsteel as edge steel. Brown canvas micarta and copper rivets and unlined thong hole. This was actually my first kydex sheath and it does scratch the blade .....which is really not that important if it is a user knife .....

Very fine knife with a lot of expensive materials ....may I ask where you get your meteorite iron .?

Yes I did...it is a 3 layer blade with stainless on the outside and carbonsteel for the edge.

My niece wants one of my knives for her birthday and wants a knife that is half kitchen and half outdoor knife.....having this blade and not fully knowing what to do with it .....I took some leftover pieces of micarta and G10 and went to work. Blade is laminated 316 stainless and 1,1 % carbon steel for the edge. Funny how 316 stainless turns almost black in the forging / hardening process as opposed to 416 and 420 that will turn grey or light grey.

Like your WIPs a lot ....lots of inspiration and I hope that you get well soon .....

So nice .. one of the first American custom knifemakers I admired ...back in the 80s

My first cable damascus knife - 3 pieces in all ....the 2 others being 15n20 and 1% carbon edge steel .......

Very nice knives and beautiful stag too.....

Hi Have not posted enough lately - but here is a laminated camp knife made with 80crv2 and mild steel. Its a full tang knife with stabilized beech and red liners and butt cap in 01 steel. Brass rivets and flared tube. Knife sheath with brass hardware too........

This is my mark .....an L and a J ......and sometimes I put in a groove depending on the type of knife

Cladding has to be a little thicker than the core material if it is a stainless / carbon laminate. Depending on what finish you want on the finished knife. I use 1/4 inch carbon steel and 1/4 inch stainless if I want a forge finish on the blades but go a little thicker on the stainless if I want a polished surface. ( some ekstra material to grind of spots and pits )
