Copper Brazed Cleaver / Knife With Copper Infused Steel

Ғылым және технология

I wanted to see if i could make a knife out of this thick flat bar steel I had, Turns out I can. The only tools I used were an angle grinder, oxy-fuel torch, copper wire, and a knife sharpener. this knife wasn't heat-treated or tempered, it is just mild steel with copper brazed into it.
And yes, a bigger knife is on its way...

    That's so close to an axe I feel weird calling it a knife. That being said it looks pretty cool. Much quicker than inlaying the copper. Does it hold up or has the copper separated over time?

    Thank you! I haven't used the knife for much, so it has been collecting dust for most of this time, but the copper has stayed in place all this time.

    Could that be done to a tempered knife?

    The temperature of the flame would untemper the knife, I don't think it would be possible without a very controlled environment for re-tempering the knife after adding the copper.
