/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This picture almost makes me drop 10K on a blacksmithing/pattern welding setup every time I see it. Holy shit it is beautiful.

I find the pattern weld a little too flashy, but the stainless lamination over the carbon steel and the subsequent bleed through is absolutely sublime.

Seriously, I can't even describe how much the blade calls to me. If I had a year of my life to spare I would spend every day trying to replicate that lamination.
