    hello ironbudd, no... after forging the handle i start to forge the blade flat and stop somewhere around 5/16 then i just split it with a chisel or cut it with a band saw, then forge out the blade with a fuller to push the material one way or the other. nothing added, nothing taken away. happy forging jim c
    Very cool! You are really into the details.

    Nice!
    G'day mate,
    This is by far the best RR spike knife I've seen yet! Very nice work, keep it up! :)
