The Smile on Saturday group’s theme for today, 12/18, is ‘reflection in a knife’. Took a bit of finagling but I think I got it!! Now to go look at the group pool and see if someone else had a similar idea. I try not to look before I post……
….(btb, tricky to do this with older stainless utensils that might not stain or get tarnished but can sure be scratched.)

My husband bought this knife in Sedona and it is so unique. He collects small knives and I think this one with the quartz blade is my favorite.
Created by Alfie Bradley at the Oswestry British Ironwork Centre and made with hundreds of thousands of knifes confiscated by or handed into police across the country.
Traditional Damascus steel, also known as Pattern Weld, Damascene, or Damast, was first produced over two thousand years ago. It has lived in legend and is referred to as the steel of the ancients.
Pattern welding is when different steels are stacked in a pattern into a block or billet, putting them together and holding them with a steel wire until the first weld is in place. The more intricate patterns are often layers of damascus that have been twisted or deformed in some way, cut and stacked in a manner that when welded together gives a very unique pattern to the finished blade.
The pieces are thinned out drastically, and then removed from the furnace where the blacksmith folds the steel over and over; most commonly you will have over 500 layers when the smith is done. The folding and adding of the layers are what makes the steel strong. The whole process is what causes the steel to be as great as it is.
Finally, after the blade of the Damascus knives are shaped, they are placed back into the furnace until it reaches a temperature of 1500 degrees. It is removed and is quenched in oil. The blade then needs to be tempered so it is heated back to 425 degrees for about 2 hours. After it cools, it is sanded with fine sandpaper and sharpened. The etching in the blade is done by using a mix of acid and water to eat away the softer metal revealing that Damascus steel look and feel.
Macro Mondays - Sharp / Crazy Tuesday - Made of Metal
I have to say that in addition to being literally sharp, I also find this antique, beautifully crafted J.A. Henckels Friodur jack knife to be very sharp looking. It has been handed down through our family over the years and I have it displayed on a table with family photos and memorabilia.

As they say, don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork.
