The forge weld turned out perfect, however I was wanting a stronger contrast between the steels.  Any way the knife turned out solid but with less pop than I was wanting.this one is 15n20/80crv2 laminated (San Mai) Contruction nothing fancy just a simple sturdy knife. with some Osage scales heated up with the torch just a tad.   Sheath has a little experimenting also I never hand carve on a sheath cause I'm not very good at it, but since it was all an experiment I did a little hand carved deer skull, not very well placed but wanted to do it anyway.<img src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/hh487/randallss7/20230430_192922.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/hh487/randallss7/20230430_192903.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/hh487/randallss7/20230430_192805.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
