A chunk of Walnut from my nephew , its been sitting in his garage foe a number of years,

That would be Mai

Dropped my billet and restacked it incorrectly, wrought iron, wrought iron,1095 = no edge

I have done only one multi piece knife design (30 units), I used the folks at NJ Steel Barron's waterjet service and was very pleased.

I have not done the S grind, so I am expecting a learning curve.

This is a 22'' radiused platen for S grinds on kitchen knives. Just a point of interest.

I don't grind with my older belts, I cut them up for hand sanding or keep them around for company.

I was wondering if others are afflicted with this malady, I have belts that seem to predate the Roman Empire.

This is a medium kitchen knife with a San Mia blade made from Wrought Iron outer and a 1095 center.

Sorry about that you are correct, I went back and looked at Ebay and there it was. In the interim I got a call from a local Blacksmith shop that's going out of buss and has a few bars so paying him a call tomorrow to look at the bars and to see what else he may have. he has not sold off anything...

High temp tools returned my email and stated that they no longer have a source. I have looked on Ebay with no luck.

I will let you know what I find out.

Thanks for the info, guys, I have an email off to High Temp Tools.

I am looking for some wrought iron, if anyone has a source to share, I would be appreciate it.

The same as picked up just before the holidays, I love the machine, its tracking and tilt to 90 degrees are very smooth and the people at Beaumont are great to deal with.
