This is one I have been working on Off and on for a while. It is 1095 and 15n20 twist I welded up. After welding I surface ground the bar and started carving the billet to what I have now. There is still alot of polishing, aand all has to be done by hand , so as to not wash out the lines of the piece.

I hogged most of the material off with carbide burs, and then used alot of little files and different sanding pads and blocks.

Here's what i got so far:

After I cleaned up and evened out the sides.
