I am in the process of making a (primitive) friction folder. The blade will be 1080. The handle is going to be jigged camel bone, so I will need to put a liner sandwich between the bone and the spine of the folder to support the camel bone.
The blade will be blued and etched when finished. So I am looking for some sheet metal to use as liners that will blue and etch like the 1080!
I can buy something from a local hardware but my concern is it going to come out the same color as the 1080!
So has anyone got any idea as too what and where I can buy some sheet metal, stiff enough to use as a liner and, that will blue/etch to match the 1080 I am using for the blade????
Suggestions anyone??
