G'Day all, a very good client of mine asked me to make a D guard Bowie and take some pics along the way, as I have done for him on some other projects in the past. A photo album makes the knife extra special I think.
Again, sorry for the lack of photography skills.
Not an in depth look at all the processes but enough I think. You can tell me what you think.
This is the first D guard I have made, so I'm pretty excited about this project.
All comments welcome. Here we go!
Start of with some 1075 and 15N20. 3 billets 0f 21 layers.
A bit of cleaning up and tack em together.
Here is the plan.
Ya with me so far?
So now I have the billets welded, time to manipulate under the hammer.
Draw out and restack and continue.
A little more as it progresses
Cheers Keith
