Thanks
Yeah - a stripping wheel is basically just disks of leather glued/clamped together. About the size of a cd and about 2-3cm thick.

Up for grabs is a proper damasteel mini neck knife blank. This is the real damasteel - rwl34, not just any Damascus 5mm thick.

Hopefully you can make out the pattern in the pictures. £2 coin for scale

It's yours ( just in case - I didn't really make it clear! This is a blank, and hasn't been ground, heat treated and finished - is that ok?!)

Oh sorry mate, I'll pass then as it will sit in a drawer for years. Best let it go to someone who can make better use of it

Would love to see the finished article Tom.

 

[Tomteifi]

Indeed you will. There will be a lot to mull over, think about inside and outside boxes, many suggestions and issues to resolve. I will post it up at every stage being, as it is, such a precious piece. I hope all those interested will chip in as much as they like on the way too.

cheers

Tom.
