[QUOTE="Hawker, post: 263712, member: 2466"] I've forged some knives but most i've made are out of ATS-34 & 440C. The Damascus ones in the picture i built out of old ski-doo springs (5160) Band saw Blades (L6) & O1 Tool Steel. The Bowie is 224 layers & the smaller drop point is 320. I found 320 layers to be a bit to much as the pattern isn't as vissable when it's that fine. Me an a buddy made a forge using a basket ball for a form & high temp cement with a squirel fan that works really well for building the damascus billets. Take about 6-8 hrs. on the forge to build a billet that you can get 1-3 knives out of depending on size. [/QUOTE]
