STAINLESS SAN-MAI: How its made!

Check out how I make 410 stainless steel and 1095 high carbon steel and turn them into a stunner of a knife! The 410ss is the non-martensitic cladding of the 1095 core blade steel providing beautiful contrast as well as some corrosion resistance.

There are many different ways of doing this technique, but this one works for me and I hope it will work for you too! Feel free to learn comments and questions and Ill do my best to answer them in a timely fashion!

Tools I used in making this billet:
-16 ton Coal Iron Works Forging Press
-Homemade 2 burner venturi forge
-Hobart MIG welder
-4" angle grinder
-2x72 belt grinder
-2 pieces of 3/16" 410 stainless Steel
-1 piece of 1095 high carbon steel
-2 strips of paper
-1 scrap steel stick for a handle

If you give this a try be sure to let me know how it goes! I'd love to see what you create!
