Hi Guys,
I want Thank those who helped me out with my process of making a ladder pattern.
I considered the methods that you guy's gave me And decided what would work best for me in my shop.
I went with this method.
Preform bevels on a 336 layer Bilit.
Cut the grooves 1/8" wide 1/16" deep 1/4" spacing.
Reforged the Bevels but did not point the knife.
Finished ground and heat treated the blade.
A Special Shout Out Goes to John White for his help.
My plan is to make 5 blanks like this one and chose the best one for the year I decide to go for my MS.

That is some fine looking Damascus and the grinding is work is excellent.
 
Really nice looking blade there David. Great pattern. Good work and good luck with your MS.

The work it takes to make a blade such as this is not fully appreciated by the public. A beauty!
 
That sure looks good David. Saved in my "Damascus to shoot for" folder when I ever try my hand at it someday. Thanks for sharing.
 
Thank You for all your Comments.
Hi Chuck,
Sorry I will not be there this Sunday. Depending what I get finished this summer I am thinking about the November 10th Show.
Hi Fred,
After 3+ Days of intense work and the blade was etched I had a Smile on my Face lasted a long time.
