My first knife shown here...

Great job Phillip!

The blade is 7-3/4", long, 2" at the widest, and the total length is 12-1/4".
The blade is about 5/32" at the ricasso, and tapers to the tip.

The process I used for this billet was as described by Burt Foster in a WIP thread he did recently at bladeforums. Which is, basically, take one piece of carbon steel, and sandwich it between 2 pieces of 416 or other stainless, making sure that the surfaces are as clean and flat as possible.

How wide were your original pieces of 1095 and 416? Did you find them both from the same source and if so, where?

Did you use a 416 welding rod as well?

Again, nice job...
