With all this snow, I got a day off from school and some extra time. So with it I stripped and etched my FT hawk in ferric acid today (I owe you guys some pix once I'm done dolling it up) and I got to see the 1095 core in this bad boy. Dana's stuff is made of 1020 mild steel with a 1095 bit sandwhiched between the 1020. When the steel is etched, the higher carbon stuff takes on a darker oxide coloring because of the carbon in it. Anyways, I thought it was pretty cool so I took pics 
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
