Folks,
This is the Part 3 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!

PART #3
Marking the blade to cut the profile and get rid of the welded part.
This is a close up of the pipe you saw on the background on the previous picture. It's a cable placed inside a copper pipe and then filled in with liquid epoxy resin. We'll see it's use later.
Cutting the unwanted parts of the blade.
Blade ready to be ground.
Grinding the edge to make sure it welded well.
Edge perfeclt welded (that black line is just residue from the grinding weel)
Masking the blade to make sure the bevels start on the exact same place on both sides.
