jdsmith02115 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Jay Morrisey of Portland ME. has been making some really cool pattern welded steel lately. He designed and forged this steel together and laid a piece of it on me. I decided to build an integral tanto like dagger from his cool material. 11" OAL !5N20 and 1084 steels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 that is top notch. Love the handle carving and the presentation of the steel in different ways. 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.

B. Norris Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 That is a really neat little integral JD! Do you have any pictures of the spine?
