Greetings everyone,
I’ve got a commission that has started me down the multi-bar road, so I thought I’d try and do a WIP. The commission is for an anglo-taxon style broken back seax with an 18” or so blade. I decided to do a basic 3 bar blade with wrought iron on the top, a twist in the middle, and high layer count on the bottom:
I made my 3 bars, the middle being 36 layers of 15N20 and 1095, and the edge was 432 layer of the same.
I tried using hose clamps to hold the bar together and I thought it worked really well.
I forged out the blade about 70% of the way
