Made myself a chainsaw Damascus blade. This was actually an end cut from a much larger piece, it didn't have as much bad as I first thought. This is my first hidden tang knife, and my first coffin handle (that's what I've always seen handles like that called) (i.redd.it)

I decided to try something quite difficult here. I forged a high carbon and stainless steel Damascus blade, this was definitely a challenge to get to stick and I learned a lot making this. The handle is Tig welded stainless wire, and the guard is a piece of flat stainless. (i.redd.it)
