Title: Re: Another hand made knife Post by: Black Hog 69 on March 09, 2012, 08:18:11 pm Heck of a knife ya made!!!
Title: Re: Another hand made knife Post by: Lance on March 09, 2012, 08:33:05 pm you buy the knife blade or actually forge it? [/quNo I order mine from Alabama Damascus. I order it in bar stock or in pieces around 6"x12". I tried making my own one time and it took so long with my little forge that I would have to charge $5,000 a knife to make it worth it. Theres alot of work in it. They have big industrial forges and air hammers and can turn out a piece pretty quick. Its still pretty expensive to buy but it beats making it. I cut out, grind, and temper my own blades. Alot of people by pre made and heat treated blades and put a handle on them and call them hand made. I dont call that hand made but to each his own. I also make knives out of carbon tool steel, spring steel, files, hoof rasp, horse shoes and old saw mill blades. ote] Title: Re: Another hand made knife Post by: charles on March 09, 2012, 09:20:05 pm you buy the knife blade or actually forge it?

I love the way a Damascus blade looks when it's been done properly. Probably my favorite style of blade material.

Title: Re: Another hand made knife Post by: Hoax on October 31, 2013, 09:29:47 pm Did you acid etch the blade to make the layers stand out better or is that the natural finish?
Title: Re: Another hand made knife Post by: Lance on October 31, 2013, 10:00:19 pm Yes, you have to acid etch them to make the grain stand out. The acid removes and oxidizes the top layer of steel but does not affect the nickel in the Damascus. The longer you leave it in the etchant solution the deeper the grain in the blade will be. You can also bring out the grain with cold gun bluing but it will not etch the blade and will rub off with wear just like a gun barrel.
