    Thanks guys I didn't see the replies . If you want to see what's gone into making it = why they are expensive , have a look in the fit section at my ongoing thread , it pretty much shoes the process

    Hi guys , made last week as a sushi knife - but I think it would also do well in the kitchen for other slicing tasks . The blade is 24.5cm long , 2.5cm wide and made of 159 layers of nickel step and took steel , light etch and high polish . Brass guard and African hard wood handle . Ready to be shipped today for £110 .

    Boric acid off eBay griff . Getting the steels right and clean weld is the hard bit , once you get a weld your there but patterning is a totally different thing . I forge a kitchen knife from two pre made bullets of the ladder pattern with a nickel steel core . It took pretty much all day to forge . And like I say the pattern welded part was already made .

    Thanks griff , I think where I stand with it is , I've made so many that the pleasure has gone , carrying it on as a hobby doesn't appeal much , it would be like going back to your old job at weekends for fun ! Who knows maybe I will make some , I'm not sure I will show the world if I do , I like the idea of a collection of my work just for me . Maybe that's what I will do . Until then I need to find homes for this lot ha ha

I have a good amount of nickel steel for making pattern welded blades , it needs using so this is the first of the last from me . Started with 25 layer billet of alternating o1 tool steel and nickel steel . The original billet came in at 10.5 lbs , the biggest I've made . Seen here with the power hammer .
