Here is my latest, I am not quite true pathing it for a blade smith.
I have been struggling for a while trying to figure out what to make my parents for x-mas. They are not really into the knife thing so i was going to make them each a damascus letter opener with stone handles, until I broke one and got all pissy
So I decided to do what you see below. I found the design on Anvilfire.com in their iForge section. They are made out of three pieces of 1/2 inch steel rod twisted together. Let me tell you, it is MUCH easier to get high carbon steel to weld together than low carbon!
These were different, kinda fun but frustrating. Reminded me of the first time I tried to grind a knife Knives are more fun IMO. Anyway, just wanted to share, I think I will make a wrought iron staircase next
Anyway, have a good Christmas all.
Editied because i can't spell.
