Forging A Knife From Scissors

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Nunzio at Earthwalkers Boots sent me his spent shears and razor blades from their custom leather working to see what could be done. After testing the scissors' steel I decided to forge a canister damascus knife with them. Unfortunately, Earthwalker's custom boot business is going out of business but they still have stock they need to sell. Go check out their site! www.earthwalkers.biz.

    Leather shears are drop-forged from high carbon, cutlery-grade steel. Safe to say it's good for knives and definitely not garbage.

    You did a video a while back of making a knife from numerous cold steel knives, I was thinking it would be interesting to take numerous cheap damascus amazon knives, forge weld them together in a canister, then use that billet as a jacket around a 1095 core. I imagine it would be quite the insane pattern.

    That's why I'm saying forge them into a jacket around a core of 1095. That way you have a hard cutting edge of good known steel and a jacket of softer steel on the outside. San mai style!
