Some New Knives

I remembered that I had some bone linen micarta and decided to put it to use. Blades made from Alabama Damascus billets. I don't have time to do a lot of forging but I enjoy it when I can. Forging a drop point from a 1 inch round bar of 5160 steel.

They look great! Amazing you can turn that big round bar into such a fine knife. How do you get the Damascus from the round rod, just by folding the steel over onto itself? (Pardon my ignorance...)

Sorry for the confusion. We have 2 different techniques for making knives going on here. I used billets of Damascus made by Alabama Damascus and stock removal for the Damascus knives. The forging is 5160 spring steel from 1 inch round bar.
