Meeting 2023 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition
Symposium Bladesmithing 2023
Presentation Title Aggie Frontier Knife
Author(s) Berkeley Rhoads, Charles Schmidt
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Berkeley Rhoads
Abstract Scope Our knife incorporates a mixture of wrought iron and high carbon 1084 steel in a San Mai blade configuration with a wrought iron guard and furnishings. To make this blade, a billet with a 1084 core and wrought iron jacket will be forged. The hardness of the blade will be measured before and after heat treatment Moreover, we will use metallography to study the microstructure, specifically the interface between the wrought iron and 1084 steel. The knife is inspired by a frontier bowie and a mixture of materials locally available are used to emphasize a western/Texas theme.
