Come see us! Table 20-S

What happens when a bladesmith and a welder get married? 😂

We’re trying to find out if we can use a tug torch to force manipulation of the pattern on a forged Damascus knife

The idea is that if we get the right penetration (giggedy) we should be able to at least shift the steels around enough that it could create a sort of mirage effect or even distinct patterning when it’s ground and etched. I have no idea, we’ve never attempted this 😂

The knife is ~300 layers of 1084, 15n20, and procut. The pattern is random, and I’ve added steel along the way and made sure to keep the blocks different sizes for restacks (to keep patterning more varied).

We did the welding after forging but before profiling or heat treating. Stay tuned to see how it works 🤙🏻

I recently did a custom chef knife for a local fine dining chef and fellow USMC vet, so obviously I had to make a 1775 layer billet. I had enough left to make this little paring knife. I’m thinking African Blackwood for the handle, what do yall think?

Just a little stainless go mai 10” hollow ground bonding knife, I’m thinking a bog oak handle but what do yall think?

This is what a 72” radius platen to a zero edge will do. Performance is insane, it just glides through even the toughest foods.
