Texas history Bowie, start to finish.
Four days worth of forge work has me to this point. Final billet is set up to weld.
301, nickel, 1232, nickel, 301. Weld it up, and I’ve got 1836. I did incorporate four layers of nickel sheet in the cladding. Ought to make some nice bright lines on the top half of the the blade.

Alright, another half day of work and we’re getting closer. I drew out the 204 blade I laddered, and also did a canister of “trash can” Damascus from little scraps of other billets. Then I welded the 1836, drew it out to shape.
You can see where I used layout fluid and marked the lines where I wanted to mill grooves for pattern development.
Here’s the grooves.
