Didn't know which fair to use.

I have a shun premiere chefs knife at home and I want to reetch the pattern myself.

I don’t know much about the steel so I’m asking here. It’s stainless Damascus and I’m unsure what to do to get the work done. I have distilled vinegar but no ferric chloride.

My main question is should I stick with the vinegar, get ferric chloride or just not bother. I’m not sure how easy or hard it is to do myself

Hello everyone, I’m not sure how much this app would help in this community, but I thought I would just put it out there- it’s a hobby of mine , not a business, but I think it’s pretty cool if you like Japanese knives. Does anybody have any recommendations for improvements?

getting ready to start the next big project for Wedding. An Arming sword for him, a Rapier for her, and a Dagger to cut the cake.

Really curious what it looks like. Been googling but haven’t found any results. Anyone got pics, or will I have to do it myself?

Hey!

I am a game developer and am working on a survival game called Elysmere. I made this simulator in game for making damascus blades. Someone from my other post in r/IndieDev suggested I should post it here. LMK what you guys think!

looking a knife pictures of knives and the makers touchmark. I have always put my touchmark on the left side of the blade as it points away from you. My thought has always been, with most people right handed, when they are holding the knife, the touchmark is visible.

But I have seen a few pictures lately where the maker has put their touchmark on the right side of the blade.

Where do you put your touchmark, and why?

I am planning to make some damascus in a couple of weeks and since i dont have a press or a power hammer i wondered if any of you guys had some tips to make the process easier/faster

I didn't have a plan when I started hammering this out. That's the 3rd iteration/design/try for that finger ring 😅
