Damascus Dagger from Fishhook

Damascus Dark Gold Blade from 700 Fishhooks
The fishhook is made of high carbon steel with nickel plating on the surface
Steel powder 1095+4% nickel (tiny particles)
Regarding the color, it is formed by tempering at 220 degrees Celsius. Actually straw or antiqued brass. Dark gold is just a gimmick. The color formed at around 220 degrees Celsius does not cause the blade to lose its hardness like blue does.
Why only blades?
The reason was that the finish of the blade was not to my liking, my first attempt at hollow grinding and it was very difficult (if you've tried it you know.) There is a slight asymmetry on the left and right sides. and cannot be repaired. It's hard to see in the film, not that I didn't want to show flaws. So only blades.
Thanks for watching!
