Gary Mulkey Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 The biggest surprise that I had with this one was with the 416 rods used for the center of the dogwood blossoms. Notice how they all have a shiny halo. I have no idea why. Maybe one of you can explain this phenomena. Gary ABS,CKCA,ABKA,KGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how they all have a shiny halo. I have no idea why. Maybe one of you can explain this phenomena. Looks to me like there's some carbon migration there that's causing the halo. Same kind of effect that you get on stainless san mai if you hold it at high temp for long enough. This theory is supported by the fact that the halo is widest and most visible on the outside of the rods where they are touching all that high carbon steel, but not so much on the inside where they are touching each other and there isn't so much of a carbon concentration gradient. Very cool! And the blade looks absolutely stunning right now, that's a brilliant pattern, can't wait to see it finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenH Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I'm VERY late to the party, but WOW!!!! I'm more than impressed. Yesterday I got interested in some of that Campo meteorite and started looking for some. Now I understand more how to weld it, but do have more questions which I will start in a new thread.

mross Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Gorgeous work. Now that this thread is a bit older so I am not changing the subject much here it goes. How does one just happen to have a chunk of meteorite just laying around?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Mulkey Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 I bought some years ago. I'd made a couple of knives from it previously. (I've still enough for one more when the urge strikes me.) 1 Gary ABS,CKCA,ABKA,KGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
