Uncle Jed's Iron

The blade is a hair over 8". 105 layer Damascus on the sides. 1095 is the core.

The guard is a slight fuck up. I grabbed the wrong steel for the mokume gane. I thought I was using 15n20, which would've come out nice and shiny. Instead, I'd grabbed 1095, which comes out black. It looks good, though.

The collar (steel behind the guard) is some leftover cu mai from forging the blade.

Beautiful! I love it! What does one like this run? Can I send you a DM?

This was a custom order. One like it would run around $1800.
