Beautiful.

I've been admiring this style for a while and even tried to recreate it a few times, but the ratio of stainless to carbon seems to alude me.

The stainless doesn't like to move under the hammer - so it seems like I'm squeezing 1095 peanut butter out from between 416 stainless crackers. Are there any tips to making this work any easier?

I'm pressing 1/4" 1095 between 3/16" 416 to about 1/4" in thickness then hand hammering.

Mark,
At 2200f 410 moves pretty well.
I would take Bill's example and pair it with a steel that is a little tougher.
Iwouldn't recommend 1095. Try 52100.
Del

Bill,
Nice work, #3 is kickin'

yikes! I'm just starting to get consistent results with simple carbon steel heat treating and now I'm off to research 52100.

This is fun
