I'm thinking of selling a domain - damascusknife.us - anyone have any experience in the best way to go about it?

Metals with nickel (15N20) are called "red hard" by some, meaning that they don't move as easily as plain tool steel. As you forge, the 1084 will get thinner and the 15N20 will not - as quickly. Repeated forging and working will cause the 15N20 to become more dominate visually. I use 0.250in...

I clean off surface oxides to bare metal. Clean and free of grease or oil, etc. No "pockets" for flux to get trapped in. When you do your first heat and weld, do it by hand. Strike down the center (longwise) of the billet first to make sure flux is out. On the next heat work outward from...

Bruce, Is the tutorial "W's from Walla Walla" still in n the site?

auctioning 1095 pieces for Damascus makers on ebay. About 120 of them. about 5 inches long, 1 1/2 wide, and .032 thick. I no longer use 1095 and don't need these. I am not a supplier, just have some stuff I don't need any more. Thanks

Can anyone point me to a tutorial about putting mammoth ivory scales on a full tang knife? thanks, Ray

First dip of a piece of Damascus to see the pattern.

Beautiful. Technical question. I don't see any pins holding the guard. Did you solder it? Merry Christmas to all!

Thank you all. Have a great Christmas and New Year!

Thanks, Ben Did you do the Winter show this year? Do any good? Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.

Very good for a first effort. You'll be surprised how quickly you will improve. Never give up on a piece. You'll learn a lot. Round handles on knife may not be a good idea.

It's a start. Thanks for the tutorial. Ray

Not quite done with this one yet. I got two blades out of the billet. Bruce Bump, thanks for the tutorial. It looks like a lot of work, but actually it's a lot more work than it looks like. :-) I also used your file guide for this blade. And, yes, the splitting wedge will weld itself into...
