New experiment. Multibar.

[erik markman]

I am doing a new experiment.
My first multibar damascus.

Looks great! I love multi-bar knives I have done a few myself. If that's your first I am eager to see what you do in the future.

I can't wait to see this finished! Any idea what handle materal you're going to use?

 

[Shaw Blades]

Nice work Erik. Onward and upward!

I've been wanting to try a multibar as well, hope mine turns out as sweet as yours, that looks incredible already

Beautiful pattern and another superb blade.....I cannot keep mine in the sheath!

Looking Good Erik!

Nice work, Erik. What did you use for the "spacer" material? 15N20?

 

[erik markman]

The steels used are 115w8 and 75ni8 (wich is much like 15n20).
Not shure about the handle yet.
Thanks for the compliments!

 

[jdm61]

Erik, how dark does the 115W8 get when you etch it?

 

[erik markman]

Very dark, prettyboy!

 

[erik markman]

As far as i can see it will etch quite dark but I haven't hardened the blade yet.
I do not think it will be as dark as O2 but it will have enough contrast.
