So here are two progress shots of one of my most recent damascus blades: 32 layers out of file steel and crucible shear/ saw steel I found in the woods. 85x4 mm. If you look closely, you can see that it shows the quench line.
I plan on fitting a scandi-style handle to it or maybe yew or maple burr... we´ll see, but in either case, I think I ´ll fit some reindeer antler to it, too.
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
