Started on my knife

Recommended Posts

I welded up a billet of weight iron, 1084, and 15n20 at the Fire and Brimstone hammerin last weekend. Half wrought with a 12 layer steel edge. We'll see how well it goes, but I've got an 8" k-tip gyoto forged out and rough ground. There's a bit of a cold shut along the iron-steel weld line, but I'm going to keep working on it.

I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this in time for the KITH. I'll set aside another kitchen knife I have finished and that I'm happy with. Between surgery (recovery is going well) and trying to change careers, I don't have time to focus on knife making.

Absolutely! I'm trying to use the time on disability to get my self employment of the ground.
