Full Build of a new Chef's Knife Design in 52100 High Carbon Steel

This is a full build of a Chef's knife design I wanted to try. I did attempt to get a hamone on this 52100 high carbon steel blade, but was unsuccessful. I'm not 100% sure if its possible with this alloy or if I didn't something wrong, but I think I'll try again one more time and see what happens.

This is the first one of those bladesmiths I've seen on TH-cam who doesn't squish 300 layers of steel together.Makes me wonder what the purpose behind that is. I knew Japanese swordsmiths did it to remove impurities but surely the steel plates they make it from are already quite pure in the modern time/

[@creativeguiseproductionsma454]

Yes, the steel being used is plenty pure... People make pattern steel because it looks cool when you're done. You use a regular high carbon steel with a high carbon steel that has some nickle added to it, then when you're almost finished you acid etch the blade. The regular high carbon steel will turn various shades of gray to black while the nickle steel will restis the etch, giving the patern of the blade. Honestly, if I had a hydraulic press, I'd probably be doing the same thing. Hand hammering those billets however, holy moly is that a long and exaughsting process!
