Forging A Damascus San-Mai Mini Parang Style Blade ~ Bladesmithing And Knifemaking Step By Step

Come along on this project as I show you nearly every step to make this beautiful, one of a kind knife.
Purchase this knife here:
firecreekforge.com/shop/ols/p...
This knife is forged with a high carbon 80CrV2 steel core, with Damascus (pattern welded) steel laminate on the outside of the blade. This I forged from high carbon field harrow spring steel and 15N20. The handle scales are ivory colored paper micarta.

Hello from the UK. Very nice knife and video, did you make your own paper micarta for the handle. Thanks for taking the time to show.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you! I purchased the paper micarta.

[@jamellelangfordiii3586]

So, how much do you make on a knife like this?

[@elijahspillman8888]

In a video I saw a swage block where did you get yours I can not find that type on the internet

[@FireCreekForge]

That one actually belongs to a buddy of mine, i think he found it at an estate sale. The are sometimes harder to find than anvils..!
