Description
So far, the most complicated construction I've made...The blade on this knife is made of 3 bars of steel, from back to edge you can find : wrought iron, 8 layers pattern welded twist and 1.3% carbon steel
For the handle, I've used bronze, bog oak and a piece of mammoth ivory.
The sheath is made from veg tanned leather, bronze, and tined copper.

La construction la plus compliquée que j'ai réalisée à ce jour..
La lame de ce couteau est composée de trois barreaux d'acier, du dos au tranchant, on y trouve : du vieux fer, un damas tosadé de 8 couches et un acier à 1.3% de carbone
Pour le manche, j'ai utilisé du bronze, du chêne des marrais et un morceau d'ivoire de mammouth.
L'étui est réalisé dans du cuir tanné végétal, du bronze et du cuivre étamé.

Thank you !
I have absolutely... no idea ! I twisted it by instinct, I can just tell you that I twisted it as much as my nerves allowed it, the ridges were about 2mm apart, maybe 3 top.
But if you wanna try, I advice you to round your edges with a fine belt (around 200) to avoid cracks and delamination... and work HOT

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had the exact problem, when I twisted it too many times it simply broke of
Hmm... I will try rounding it as you say

I made another multibar blade yesterday and I can confirm you the density of the twists, once again, with the edges rounded on a worn 180 grit belt, no issue
