Batch of Knives

[IFLY4U]

I have spent 90% of this year preparing 5 knives for ABS Journeyman Smith judging at the Atlanta Blade Show in June (which doesn't look very promising now). It was time to get back in the forge and start filling some orders. I forged out several billets of Damascus pattern welded steel from 1084 and 15N20 sawmill bandsaw blades, forged the billets into 42 blades over the past week and a half. The batch of knives include some of my Damascus and some blades made from Alabama Damascus Steel.
Thanks for looking,
Gary

If the Blade show goes on as planned, will you be able to test for your JS ?

The blade show has been rescheduled for August. The American Bladesmith Society is still evaluating if they will do the testing this year.
