Sharpest Hunting Knife
Presentations knives drawn and constructive criticism welcome! Let us avoid self-congratulation . . and specify our point of view positive or negative, thank you. Quite uncommon on the damask field: little do so because of fear that it does fall off, and yet it holds very well. if the weld is good (ie, precisely if it is welded and not "stuck"), there is no problem. It is also necessary measure in order to forge, do not hit too hard or too cold. Looks like someone I know well (it will recognize, I know he comes to visit us from time to time . . ), try to be "in" material, and feel somehow the how it moves inside . . The friend "ghost" who troll around here - we can not know who that is? - And I certainly do not defer to the statements in doubt, says the opposite?. I still have progress to make damask side. If you have good resources on the topic, do not hesitate to open a topic, I am seeking info. And then there's heavy shocks and blows important . . When the cons-forge package damask with a pestle (mine, which is not very big, has a falling weight of 18 kgs), it is better not to send all the power, especially at first. But anyway, the striking power of the ram remains well above that of a hammer in hand. Otherwise, to weld, I'll confirm: gently warm the first to prepare the weld layers and bring a little stronger in the second hot solder, and frankly for the following hot, to strengthen and stretch the weld. And above all, all at the right temperature is the key . . This is the first time I see this type of Damascus: it's pretty nice, almost lyrical. I think the sharpest hunting knife would have deserved to be just a bit sharper, but otherwise it is a beautiful piece. (When I grow up I want to do finishes like that. ). . . .
