San Mai blade hand forged

San Mai blade hand forged - 12/19/17 08:27 PM

I don't have a power hammer or the room to put it in my shop, so all my forge welding is done by hand, one day I will when I move into a bigger shop I’ll get one. This one has 1095 core sandwiched between 15n20. I’m also doing some chain and other various of forge welded knives. I’m so burned out of stock removal, been doing it over 20 years and I’m ready to do more forging again.

I dig it, that's going to have a beautiful pattern in the steel
