Thanks
I do enjoy making my knives and I do enjoy sharing them with interested people at a reasonable cost. I'm not making knives to make money. I try to break even on those I sell Most times that doesn't happen but it makes my heart smile to hear how most people like and enjoy my handwork
You sure you can skin griz, pilgrim??

Re: The making of a Damascus steel knife
Video in the link brought back plenty of memories.
My dad was a blacksmith and I spent plenty of time in the shop when I was growing up.
As for getting rich, forget it when you make any hand-crafted items for sale. As Darrel indicated - if you break even on the cost of material & supplies you're doing good.

1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16/ 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 / 512 / 1024 / etc.....
or if the are several layers to start with that are pounded together and then folded back on itself it would change
if you start with 3 pieces it goes
3 / 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 / 96 / 192 / 384 / 768 / etc....
Its early in the morning and my head is a bit foggy, but would this be reasonable?
Its a mystery to me how a pattern like the feather can be produced in damascus, it indeed is an art.
Time for breakfast and work.
Oh and Dagriz makes great knives of that there is no doubt.
Cheers
You are correct You double each time you fold Start out with four piece of two different steels, alternating in the stack.
Making feather is very complicated and hard to do darn near as hard to explain so I won't even try A simple explanation is the way you fold and hammer
You sure you can skin griz, pilgrim??
