3 nickel western
I’ve been playing with pure nickel layering for years and it never lets me down. It’s almost like steel glue. Can’t remember it ever failing on me and moves like butter under the hammer. Never gets old.
It also acts as a carbon barrier. When you work steel this hot its contents can move around within the billet, or even cook off into the air, but they can’t really pass through the nickel. So it holds everything in place just where it should be.
Nickel and 80crv2 steel dressed in ebony wood. Classic western chef profile. Up on the site ❤️🔥
