I splurged and bought myself a forge for Christmas and have been enjoying the heck out of it. I have made half a dozen or so knives and this is my first attempt a damascus. I was trying to do a twist pattern, but twisted it one too many times and broke the billet. By the time I got it forge welded back together I had 126 layers. 15n20 and steel from a swing anchor I picked up along the abandoned railroad tracks a few miles down the road.
