About my Metalwork
I either forge knife blades from scratch, or cut and grind from a bar. I can custom finish blades in Damascus, satin or it can be hand polished. Choose from drop point, bowie or kitchen style to suit your everyday needs, hunting or cooking activities.
The main Stainless Steels I use are Sandvik 12 C 27 and AISI 440C, also Swedish AEB-L which was designed for razor blade production.
A new steel I've been trying out is a Stainless Steel called Nitro-V. Which is exceptionally hard at 62 Rockwell C. It comes from The New Jersey Steel Baron in the U.S.
For Carbon Steel I use AISI 1070, CK1055, which is a Spring Steel and 15n20 a Nickel Alloy steel. These Carbon Steel blades are hot blued to protect the blade from rust.
Damascus Steel billet's are forged by hand with the help of a Striker. The stainless steel Damascus billets are sourced overseas.
