Featured Course
Cable Damascus (Intermediate)
This course introduces the concept of forge welding cable to create patterns in the steel. This not only makes attractive blades, but also a very tough, flexible blade that keeps a great edge. This process is called "pattern welding" or sometimes "Damascus" after the city which made the process famous.
The finished blade is then etched in acid to bring out the patterns of the different parts of the cable - often with dramatic results.
Fantastic knife vices from Alistair Phillips. These bench mounted vices allow up to a 6" blade to be held to either work on he handle or the blade. Larger vices can be made to order.
Perfect for hand finishing blades or filework. Allows full rotation in working on handles to ensure a high standard of finish.
$50 + POSTAGE
