Beautiful choppa! Little tip: you don’t want to cut too much wood on the same bandsaw you cut steel with, without cleaning out the dust collector first. That’s a shop fire waiting to happen.

I love that you used a solid bar of steel for the cutting edge. damascus is good for an outer layer, but I don't like it on the cutting edge because the different steels sharpen and dull differently, and the edge is less refined overtime. gorgeous build

Thank you. I dont do this for all damascus knives but i always do this if they incorporate copper or another soft steel.

Bro…. Good job … I think you may be one of a few other knife makers on KZread that constantly makes copper Damascus… Absolutely love the process. Knife looks amazing!!

You can trace the profile of the handle onto one piece of scale material, mark and drill pin locations, then stack and pin continuing and opposing scale material in order to make fewer cuts while making the handle. Layers 1A, 1B, 1C, 2C, 2B, 2A temporarily pinned, then cut.

Gorgeous blade. The copper on black is really striking. And don't get too comfy around that band saw. Time it takes to rip up a finger is a lot less than the time it takes to realize it's happening and react.

I love 80crv2 steel for blades. Easy to forge and tough as cheap steak the bad part about it is that it hardens so easy. I'm sure if you left it out in the sun for a few hours it would start to get hard and annealing it can be a pain

I'd suggest cutting your copper blanks a little smaller than your steel blanks so you don't have so much trouble welding all the way around. Since the copper is basically melting anyway and giving you porosity in those welds.

you can take a normal porta band saw blade & over sharpen every X 2 teeth. creating a chip cleaner effect. also if u tap those over sharpened teeth with a punch in opposite directions itll cut more aggressively. basically adding 2 opposite facing teeth every X teeth.
