Composite Knife Project 

I decided to make my first composite knife and friends asked me to make a record of it. So this is it.

After careful thought  (that is I walked into my shop and looked at what I had laying around) I have decided that the materials will be L6 , 1080, and Wrought Iron.

Wrought Iron can not be ordered in given sizes so step one is to forge some of my Wrought Iron into  the right size to be stacked for  the billet.

 I finished at about 10th of inch wide, I debated on  going  thinner but Wrought Iron has it's own  pattern.  If I go too thin then I might lose it so I stopped at 10th of inch
