Raindrop ShichiMai - Wrought/Damascus

This layout is comprised of 3 main components on either side of a 80crv2 core. The first cladding layer is some beautiful wrought iron forge from antique ship chains. The history alone in this layer is unreal! The wrought iron etchs into a very cool wood grain like texture/pattern. Following the wrought is 100 layer Damascus for extra "pop" and to give a beautiful flow to the pattern. And of course third is the copper layer sitting right up against the core material. It just isnt a Baker Forge billet without that stark layer of pure grade copper. 😍

Specs:

- Antique Wrought Iron and 100 Layer Damascus cladding with a strip of solid copper and a 80crv2 core for optimal cutting performance!
