Another tutorial - Damascus from motorcicle chain, powder D2 and 5160

[Jared Stenoien]

I can, and usually I'm not that big of a fan of random damascus patterns, but that one is a beauty!

How many tons of pressure is used when making a bar like that ?
Your scapel look great.

 

[Dave Bowen]

Man, that is beautiful. I can't wait to start making damascus.
I've been very busy making knives to sell at the Scarborough rennasaince faire, but after it's over, this is on the top of my list of things to learn.

Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

And this another blade from that steel.
San mai with motorcycle chain, D2 powder and 5160 on the sides and a damascus made from O1 and 1030 as the core for the san mai.
This will probably get a mokume guard and some wood handles.

Blade: 4 1/8"
Edge: 3 3/4"
Width: almost 1"
Thickness: 5/32"

Thanks for looking!
