That's really impressive!
Can I ask how thick the blade is?
Is forging san mai something you regularly do?

Wow! Nice contrast! Did you etch just the exposed core or the entire blade? I've been really curious about sanmai with a stainless jacket as of late, and your pic just makes me even more itchy to learn about the process.

That's cool! Nice work

That is very classy looking! I pretty much love anything san mai and this is no exception, beautiful work. Did you dry weld the billet using a weld all around the seams?

Chris, blade thickness is for 6 to 2,7 mm. Yes I am forging sometimes.
