Great selection of some great looking work....thank you for the pictures. :)
 
It stands for how broad the blades are. 8/8 ist one inch. 7/8 is 7 of 8 parts of an inch and so on....

kind regards

Outstanding work Ulrik!
Your blades are awesome and I'm super impressed that you are making your own steel!

Thank you. I am pleased, that you like my Work.

@DesRosiers: Thank you. Making own Steel is indeed not quite easy. The hard task is not to melt or cast, but to get a good homogeneity, fine Carbides and a good grain size. Also is the forging a long procedur... I remember, that you wrote in another thread, that you always wanted to try making your own steel. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Kind regards,
Ulrik
