Hi, I'm new to bladesmithing but have been doing it for about 9 months now. Here is a chefs knife I made for myself. It is 1306 layers of 3 steels, 1080,1095, and 15N20. I did many different things to this to get to 1306 layers, not just simply folding it over and over again. I twisted it, drilled raindrop pockets, alternated the grain pattern, etc. The handle is made from white and black pearl Kirinite which I glued together to make each handle scale. Used 3 brass 1/4" dowels to secure handle. It's super sharp and cuts incredibly well.

Thanks for looking!
