Sounds to me like a pile of work and then you have to make a knife. Gotta be a labor of love

Brian,

I don't think you will have any problems at all getting good welds using that press, as long as the stack is hot enough. You are using propane forge to keep it nice and clean, right? We made a billet at a workshop we had from cable, and it welded right up under that intense heat and pressure.

I like the ladder patterns and the teardrop pattern achieved by various grinding and drilling methods on the billet.

Check out www.atar.com for some inspiration on patterns. I'd love to spend a few weeks working with Jim Hrisoulas in his shop. Would definitely be a learning experience.

Thanks for the link, there are some nice blades there...
