Kevin Colwell Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 nice work, Ric. I may have missed this - what do you plan to do with the blade now that is is all welded up? kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.

Richard Furrer Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 nice work, Ric. I may have missed this - what do you plan to do with the blade now that is is all welded up? kc Kevin, Northwestern University sends me student groups on occasion. Last weekend I had four students in the shop and we made this blade. The stock for this blade began as a 3" round bar so there was quite a bit of processing before I could weld up the blade. The project revolves around a stainless steel that is designed and sold by QuesTek Innovations and one of the marketing ideas is a seax blade. Over the years I have explored pattern-welded billets with these steels. This blade was commissioned by them and was delivered as you see for further processing later; I'll show photos as the blade is progressing in the future. This was the first interaction I had with the company. It was written up in "Wired" Magazine in 2001 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.02/dragonslayer.html I have plans for more stainless composite blades.

Orien M Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Beautiful blade, Ric...neat to see that classic p-welding scheme done in stainless. It's like a Viking's sushi knife!
