Custom Knife in the Making - Cable Damascus No Hammer Marks V2 - Part #2
Folks,
This is the Part 2 of an extended version of the tutorial that will appear on David Darom's 3rd book, "100 Custom Knives in the Making" I've splitted it on some "chapters" as it's picture intensive. The book is to be introduced to the public on Blade 2006, and will show a tutorial of mine on no hammer marks cable forging. Please note that the pictures the book will have are of much much more quality! This knife will be on David's stand on Blade 2006 for all atendees to check it out in person! I'd like to thank David for his interest on my knives and for waiting until the last minute until I get my arm good enough to hammer again! You can check out Part #1 here: http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=30594 PART #2 Retrieving the pipe from the gas oven.   Here you can see how the Oxigen reduction works. As the container isn't 100% sealed, the Oxigen from the inside burns to the outside in form of a small flame.  Starting to hammer the pipe with the cable inside. Since the cable doesn't get in contact with the direct flame, this process prevents the decarburization of the cable strands.    More Oxigen getting out.  A bit more flattened.  It finally starts to look like something that might become a blade...

Flattened at last!
   Now it's time to get the cable blade out of the pipe/can. First I grind off the part that covers the edge.

Now I clamp it to a vise and start opening it with a chisel and a hammer. Since the pipe is stainless steel, it didn't weld agains the cable.
   Laterals already removed from the blade.  Chiseling the pipe from the bolster area. Since I want this area to remain unaltered, I have to be extra careful as to not damage the cable strands.  Blade ready to come out. Note the cable pattern marked into the pipe.  Blade ready to go to the grinder.  END OF PART #2 Thanks for looking! Ariel
