Hello everyone.
Happy new year (I think that until the end of this month we can still welcome the new year, do you agree?
)
Some of you who have already spoken privately know that I am passionate about sanmai, but I always used the technique to achieve a black carbon on the egde/core and sides in 420 to protect it from oxidation.
This time I did it a little differently. I used 14c28n on the core and "glued" 1045 to the sides. I confess that I wanted a messier... more mixed transition line (in the same way as the 420 does with the 1070), but this very contrasted difference was also beautiful.
I had never welded the 14c28n in the forge and in the tests I did at different temperatures (small 1"x3" bars), the integrity of the bar was perfect. I tested until I refined the grain and hardness and got a very satisfactory result.
So that's it, I hope you like it:
Specs:
Steel: 14c28n in core and 1045 on sides
Handle: Brazilian Rosewood (Jacarandá)
OAL: 245mm
Blade: 124mm
Width: 33mm
Thickness: 4,5mm
Leather sheath
I'm asking SOLD shipped from Brazil to US continental and Canadá (AK, HI em other countries + 25).
I prefer transfer, but I also use Paypal (G&S is expensive, but for security I take it).
Everyone be well.
