I made up some extra billets today for anyone wanting some, to give it a try.


Top Sold

1" x 5" x 5/32"
Sandwich configuration of 1095 jacket, nickel/copper layer, 15n20 core
This bar is best suited for a chisel grind.



Middle $125

1 1/8" x 5" x 1/4"
Sandwich configuration of 1095 jacket, nickel/copper layer, 1095 core



Bottom Sold

1 1/4" x 5" x 5/32"
Sandwich configuration of 1095 jacket, nickel/copper layer, 1095 core




Here's some examples of what this stuff can look like finished out. Since it's all done by hand, each bar is somewhat a mystery pattern for the line mix.

You could have sales, but your outside patterns are not visible. Please can you finish one side down to say 400 and give it a quick light etch and then give us a picture?

Since this is a sanmai construction, I'm not sure how well that would work. The pattern is primarily based on the copper/nickel layer, which doesn't present itself well, until ground to shape.

Very cool stuff. Makes me want to try forge welding...(maybe not with copper the first time though)

Depending on your forge( coal or gas ), I'd say give it a try. Coal is great for high temperature welding application, such as wrought iron or mild steel outer jackets with the use of flux. Gas works for the no flux( bareback ), low temperature style of welding that I use which allows me to incorporate copper into the bar.

Gas for me. You need the nickel layer in there as well thigh right?

It's not completely necessary, but it's put in there to cut out any chance for galvanic reaction between the steel and copper. Also, I like the distinct separation line that the nickel creates in contrast to the steel.
 
Interesting. Thank you very much for your answers. I might give it a try sometime.
