Flaming Iron... Pictures added

**ScottRoush** · 08-01-2012, 07:46 PM

Well I went from hardly posting to becoming an annoying nit. But I really wanted to share this damascus I've been playing with... sort of a 'flaming edge' type with 15n20/1084 and wrought iron. I've got some work to do to make more of iron flame up.. but I'm gonna keep trying.

I will post the rest of the knife later when it's done...

That pattern is just gorgeous - please annoy me with some more pics at your earliest opportunity.

Hey Cody.. you were there for the birth of this at my hammer-in. I just added the wrought iron to the pile of 15n20/1084 that Karl and I were going to weld and never did.

**Karl B. Andersen** · 08-01-2012, 09:01 PM

Cool, Scott.
Won't be too long now and we'll be able to play together!

And Cody, too, for that matter.

**ScottRoush** · 08-01-2012, 09:10 PM

Looking forward to it Karl!

Oh what the hell.. it's not done yet and I haven't pinned it yet... but the light was so nice on the back deck tonight...

**pullrich** · 08-01-2012, 09:20 PM

Wow... those colors. That's amazing!

**Bigfattyt** · 08-01-2012, 09:50 PM

You had me with the original pic of the blade.

But when you added the handle in the mix, it was for sure!

I love it.

Keep us updated with more pics!

**SBranson** · 08-02-2012, 01:41 AM

Lovely, Scott!!

That blade has a really interesting pattern.

I'm looking forward to seeing it done. It's a great looking handle and at the moment I really like it without a pin. I wondered if you could finish it off with a blind pin but it'll be interesting to see the pin and what I like better.

Scott, that pattern is amazing!! Really does look like flames licking at the spine. Always love seeing wrought iron.

**Brian Ayres** · 08-02-2012, 01:48 AM

Looks great! Any thought to etching it in copper tainted FC?

I love the copper but cap. That flame pattern is pretty darn cool. Thanks for being so annoying!!

**Steve Nuckels** · 08-02-2012, 08:50 AM

Love it Scott, To me, that's as CooL as it gets!

How on earth do you did that?

Thanks again folks... I'm pretty excited about this stuff!

Hellize... I learned this from a video tutorial presented by Dave Stephens in his video streaming Arctic Fire Hammer-In Invitational. http://arcticfire.mymiddleearth.com/ His version uses high carbon on the spine.. but I thought it would be fun to try the wrought. It's basically just a regular damascus billet with wrought iron stacked on top. From there it's a matter of keeping track of where the iron is.
