Hey All,
Thought I would share the first forged knife (and second knife made) that I recently completed.
This was an experiment in making a hidden tang knife, getting the feel of forging a blade, and heat treating. It is certainly not perfect, but I think I learnt a lot making this.
As you can see there are some rough spots from forging on the blade, which some may not like, but I like to think of it as 'character' :-)
Now I need to try my hand hand at making a leather sheath.
Anyway, blade is 4140 steel, handle olive wood, and pins and bolster brass.
Overall length is 180mm
Any comments or tips welcome!
Cheers,
Matt
