Full stainless san mai damascus!
About 30 layers of SS 416 and SS 304, with a core of Austrian N678.
This is the first time I mix three kinds of stainless steels. I've used the same method I use to make mokume, but I welded the entire capsule closed and added paper strips with WD-40 inside for the O2 reduction. I think it's a nice begining, I'll start using other SS steels later on.     Regards, Ariel

Great Job!!
Ive been trying to figure out how to do that myself! Could you give a close equivelant to the core steel?? And let me see if I understand this right. You enclosed in a can with paper soaked in WD40. No flux? Just an O2 free atmosphere? How does it forge? Can it be forged once it is out of the can? Thanks in advance!

Sure it can be forged once it's out of the can Mike, it just can't be welded any more. Since I've never done it, this opinion is based on the fact that any stainless can be forged if the temperature is right but they can only be welded in a controlled atmosphere which you don't have in the average knife maker's forge ....
