More sheep horn

Bill, my first impression of your knife is beautiful handle and rolling clouds seen from an airplane window on that long blade. My next thought is blood, stitches and bandaids. I can only imagine how thin and sharp that edge is!:eek:

If I had a knife like that I may even try to cook....Very Nice....
 
Nice looking knife and from the description must cut very well. Bill, what is the reason to not use and integral bolster instead of adding the SS bolster? Have you ever done integral and then rotating the tang to horizontal?
 
Bill, amazing piece of steel...I really like it a lot.:thumbup:

For those of you that didn't know Bill is amazing with damascus steel. His "river of fire" damascus is unbelievable. :cool:
Here are a few detailed pictures of that steel.

Murry, I use three 3/16ths bars to make the laminate so by the time I get enough reduction to make sure the welds are good there is not enough thickness left for an integral bolster so I just welded them on. I will have to try starting with thicker pieces of steel and see if I can do an integral. I have tried upsetting the laminate but was unable to get enough thickness. turning the tang sideways sounds interesting I may have to try that also.

Bruce the blade is convex ground to 0 and then sharpened with a 25 degree included angle. If you hold the knife edge up and drop a cherry tomato on the edge from about six inches above the edge the tomato falls in two over the edge.
