Sure hope this one survives rehardening. Here's to never buying 1084 again!

The last knife for order for quite some time to come. The day job has been keeping me busy and this is my first time back in the shop in 2 months. Going to continue to be busy with baby #2 coming in a month - month and a half, but I should be able to get back in the forge a bit more.

Edge tested and approved.

Peak at the pattern coming through.

Day job has been keeping me busy for the last while but I'm going to *ring* in the new year by forging some damascus.

2 bar twist damascus hunter with Indonesian rosewood handle. This has been a very busy Fall and I haven't had the time I'd like to be in the shop.

More progress. Work is slow because the day job is not.
11/01/2022
Needs more. More hand sanding. More etching.
10/27/2022
Finally getting some work done again.
10/15/2022
Thermal cycling.

Forgot to get a picture of the restack and welding, but here is that two bar twist damascus as a hunter. Two of these on the way.
09/23/2022
Rough grinding complete.
09/22/2022
A little bowie action while I think through steps for the dagger.
09/17/2022
Forged a new guard for the new dagger. I started with too much material, unfortunately. Know for next time. Now for an extended session on the mill.
09/16/2022
Welded and tapered.
09/14/2022
A little more progress on the new dagger. Welded the threading onto the tang.
09/07/2022
Forgot to post progress from the other day. Here is that stack of 13 layers drawn out and twisted. Next up for this is grinding clean, cutting, and stacking for multi-bar pattern.
09/05/2022
Sandwiching a few layers this morning.
09/03/2022
And this is why we made a second dagger. Messed up.
08/20/2022
And now some locator pins...

When you have two pieces that need to be the same thickness - chuck them up together!
