Forging a basketweave damascus take down bowie knife

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

What do you think I should call this build? I'm leaning towards "DarkWeave".

[@EbonyPope]

Why do you have to normalize it before welding on the all thread?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@EbonyPope No, normalize AFTER you weld on the all-thread... because the welding will make that area very weak because of the intense heat at the junction.

[@EbonyPope]

@@TyrellKnifeworks Because it gets brittle because of the heat? Then I misunderstood you.

[@swxqt6826]

Darkweave sounds great.

[@pepinosnv1101]

I would call it a DreamWeave, couse if you can dream it you can build it :) fantastic work, although I prefer your Cu- Mai builds a lot more :) if only I could afford one of your knives (the katana is one of my dream swords, and yours looks amazing)

Your Damascus can go head to head with any Forger out there. Every piece is amazing with a perfectly contrasting handle and beautiful fit and finish. There are a lot of forgers who make a good looking blade but they strike out when it comes to everything else.

[@Peterbilt01]

Your damascus techniques are awesome. I am by no means a blade smith or knife maker. I watched the show forged in fire and some of the techniques that are used in that show are pretty awesome.
