Teacher.
Thank’s for above amendment of my “description?
of different steel blends. Old age Maybe.
and as you see here.
LOTS of peoples know lots of things about ”lots of things”.
Just a case of bringing the interest out hey.
Apart from the current flu annoyance.
I’ve had this for 30 yrs or more. (June 1990)
I ALWAYS come good again. eventually,
It’s ALL in the drugs mate.
If they ever tested me for Opiates I’d blow the top off the machine.
But b4 this electronic implant in my Spinal Chord in neck.
I was on 4 times as much.
Lived permanently in a floating cloud.
Very rarely came down, and when I did.
just wanted to get back up there quick.
It farkin’ hurt 24/7.
Anybody that knows any family or friends with “chronic pain”
anywhere in body.
Get them to get in touch or read up on net. “NEVRO”
Spinal implants.
THIS ONE. Actually works. with 85% of us.
You have several months of FREE (in Aust anyway) trials first.
MINE 100% NIL pain. around 94% of the time. and when it hic-cups. I just reset on a different cycle for a while.
I’ve gone from a miserable, whinging, full of pain, grump.
to a (almost) normal. Happy. Smiling. Old fart.
Coupla things.
That blade will never be a fine slicer/cutter. Without lots of grinding/
NOT worth it.
I’d take edge back about 1\4 in,and take remove the shoulder too.
with Stones/diamond plates.
and use as a heavy cutter.
Those Damascus lines are Hmmm.
That blade would have to taper from hilt to tip. to give them
In normal folded\layered steel. They going the wrong way.
Be very time consuming to layer that lot in the right way
for that pattern.
Any “bringing out” (That’s available) can be done with acid dipping.
PS. You can not have solid blocks of steel showing
in “folded layers of metal. Sorry mate.
Yrs ago I played with forging Rail Spikes.
Layers of steel hammered into one etc.
Basically All I got was tired arms\shoulders.
Didn’t know enough about steel consistency’s.
(too dumb yes)
Best I had were power saw blades and the aforementioned Rail spikes.
They made GREAT Axe heads.

Wait… what?“”
———————————-
Cutting food. Read …. Read. (chuckle)
Hold ALL foods you cutting. with finger TIPS folded back.
ALL OF THEM. You wouldn’t be the first to tip the little one.
Just presenting first knuckle and flat backs of fingers for blade to slide up and down against.
Those things ARE sharp.
Holding.
If you hold the knife.in hand. Handle in last 3 pinkies (diddums)
Then thumb and first finger gripping top SIDES of blade.
You will find that a much better. controlling grip (to most)
is established. Especially for slicing. Try it.
Have fun hey.
