I have had this blade sitting around for a couple of years and decided to get it finished.
The core is 52100 with 15N20 sides, handle black linen Micarta, OAL is 11 inches
I have an unlimited supply of rollers from Timken roller bearings. They are about 1 1/2 in in diameter and about 2 inches long and are just the perfect size for knife blanks and other things. I have used them with 15N20 and they make great Damascus, recently I have been using them for the center...
Just got this San Mai finished , next time I do San Mai i think it will be with 420 SS. The 416 takes on a grey look when the blade is etched.
SS fittings, Turkish Walnut handle
