New Seax Blade
Here's a new piece: it's 24" long, 4 bar interrupted twist & split spine in 15N20 & 1070 with an L6 edge. The spine is hollow ground and the edge is flat. It's going to get a bog oak handle & a leather covered wooden sheath with niello inlaid silver fittings. Enjoy! |

Nice!
Did the L6 have any issues wanting to weld? I have a large saw blade that was supposed to be L6. It gives me fits trying to weld it to anything. Seems like it needs an extra 300* and half-pound of flux! |

Hey Don, no probs welding that l-6, although the other end of the bar had a problem with the overlapping weld at the mill that hot rolled it out and it would split down the middle every time I quenched a piece of it.
Here's a close-up: |

Lovely work as ususal! Did you etch the whole thing then polish the edge back, or mask the edge then etch the back? It looks like a nice crisp transition, either way.
