Hey Rick... LOL It's not that I enjoy working in Sandals,, they are the only shoes I own..  That was Alot of fun that night... Heres some pictures of that same knife finished.... Hey Guys… Well here is the final product…. Knife is made from 1050, and clay hardened. I hand sanded the knife for 2.5 hours to a 600 grit finish. Wally put a quick 800 on it with the belt..  It came out a lot better than I expected… It’s still a rough looking knife,, however that was the intended plan from the beginning of this project.  A view of the hammon length ways  In this picture you can see there is actually a double temper line on the blade. Not exactly sure how that happened…  |

 A closer view of it… Here is my second forged knife.. I forged this knife in Wally’s forge as well, and heat treated under his supervision.. Blade steel is 1084  This is the blank freshly cut from the 1” x ¼” bar  This is the blank roughly profiled…  This is the first 2 forged knives together… |

 Here I shortened and changed the rear of the handle a little. Knife is heat treated and finish ground to 400 grit.. This little hunter was really fun to make.. Grinding was very minimal on it as the forging process pretty much formed it to shape… Hope to finished it up next week… Thanks for your time.. Ttyle Eric O/ST |
