Harley chain

Finished my prototype Harley Chain Knife.
It's a san-mai type construction.
Has a 15n20 core ,chain on both sides, filled with 1084 powder.
Then put in a square tube and sealed.
I used a 20 ton air/hyd jack to press the canister into a flat bar. I then ground it into a knife shape .
Here is the result.

Very nice!
Getting ready to do another 17' of HD chain myself. Stuff's getting harder to find than hen's teeth.

Sweet knife, i like that you can look at it and tell it was a chain. You don't happen to have any pics of your air/ hydraulic press do you? i made one to try my hand at damascus and just cant get it to press right.
