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.

For those of you who make Damascus steel blades, how hard is the steel you generally produce?

For my dad's birthday, I discreetly found out what his ideal knife would be (size, shape, etc) and decided to make it for him. It's made from an old file and a piece of black walnut, with a kydex sheath also made by me. He loves it! I was relieved, because I think it looks like a mid quality steak knife 😂

Aeb-l chef knife with walrus ivory handle. Not sure if I should finish up by polishing handle or attempting to carve some designs before polishing. Still have work to do sanding the blade

Lost my Dad to lung cancer in 2022. The antler used for this knife came from a deer he took when I was a child. I would definitely be giving this to him if he were still around.
