I forge welded this using 1095 and 15N20. The 1095 is layered on the outside and the core with two layers of 15N20 to give some contrast to the build
Heat treated to Rc 58-60 with three normalizing and two tempering cycles for a fine grain throughout the blade
Flat grind
Bacote handle
Overall length: 11 1/4 inches
Blade: 6 1/4 inches
Leather scabbard with a belt loop for a right hand carry
