Bit of a change from hawks , started out trying this with no power exept  for the coke blower.

Once forged i used a scraper and files , 1075 hardened in oil brought back  to spring .blade is just over 19 inch handle around 6 inch.

soon found i had to use a pedestal for handle and pomel .

hope you like .
