11 "ALCHEMY" by Jensen Knives
11: I had previously welded a partial tang onto the blade stock, however after surface grinding (a process to provide precision ground surfaces, either to a critical size and/or for the surface finish), I wanted to reinforce the weld again, since a lot of surface material was removed, so I am running a fresh bead onto the connection seam. The finished parallel thickness of the blade stock is now about 3/16" thick.
