Arkansas Toothpick WIP

[Elijah Williams]

Hello,
Here's one of my latest projects, an "Arkansas Toothpick" blade, about 10.25".
I forged the blade from two pieces of 80CrV2 steel, and a "power core" of my own 400 layer 1084 and 15N20 pattern welded.
The pics are what I have so far on the project, I'll update as I go.



You can also see the in-depth build on my YouTube channel here:

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! I believe I'm going to go with elk antler on this one, with brass fittings.
