1/16" O-1 ?

Personaly I wouldn't have passed up that price eigther. I'd probably cut it into strips and use it with damascus, make a high layer count first weld. Would probably look good mixed with thicker sections of 1084 and 15&20 for a low layer count with some fine lines mixed with the thicker ones.

I love that fibermascus knife. Don't know how it would hold up to rough use, but for a light duty knife that would be just the thing for a neck knife or so. Cool.

I'm jealous of people who can do pattern welded steel :grumpy:

I almost bid against you on eBay for this steel. In the end it seemed, as you've discovered, a tad toooooooo thin for what I was thinking.

Can't pass up a good deal, just not the kind of knives I normaly make. Will all be put to use, but 36" x 4" of 1/16" will probaly last me a long time.

At a wood show today I saw a guy using a modified paring knife to carve wood and thought, "If I had 1/16" O1, Id make and sell carving knives!"

It wouldn't be hard, maybe a 1/2" blade, simple, inexpensive.
