I was looking at a few ancient swords the other day and came across a sword called the Kilij. According to The Deadliest Warrior, it is a weapon that could very well rival the Katana. So I was curious if anyone had attempted to forge or has already forged a Kilij for themselves.

Thanks for the advice. I wish to own a makeshift coal powered that I made with a vacuum, it isn't much but it works. I really haven't taken much consideration into what type of metal to use, but if I were to choose I would go with spring leaf steel.

Quite fascinated by the blade's handle. Excellent craftsmanship. By the way, kydex sheathes are REALLY easy to make if you have the right tools.

Hello everyone! I just recently got into forging a couple of months ago, but don't know where to start. Obviously, since I'm posting this inside the Knives section, I would like to work with making knives. I was actually inspired to do forging by Murray Carter at Carter Cutlery. Anyways, I would like to know where a forging newbie could start with knife creations. Any help at all would be appreciated.
