one thing i forgot to mention it has a star beside the "made in sweden"does this tell yall anything?

ok thanks for the info

wouldnt the cutting edge break?

what about damascus japanese swords that were supposed to be extremely hard?

thanks

would you mind if i used this handle idea on some of my knives?

i will soak it in oil then thank you

it keeps wantin to rust and i dony know how to stop it!!!

thank you for the complements guys but as u can tell i still have a LONG way to go:} sorry i didnt put on more pics

i worked for about three weeks on this and it still has a lot of flaws but i like itany comments or criticism is welcome it still isnt quite finished

Steve correct me if I'm wrong;)

I am finishing a knife from one now and it hardened really well but idk maybe I just got lucky I just use them because I don't want to buy steel and have the chance of ruining it plus it is good practice drawing them out

I got a number 60 a for about 20 bucks:):):) btw for pictures look on eBay

Steve I am not recommending this just sayin wat I did and more experienced ppl can tell him more about it

I would use good steel but rebar is easy to forge and if u quench in water and skip tempering it will be decently hard one big problem is it rust quickly in my experience but I'm just a newb:}

WOW.....

You did that with a 2x42 craftsman?!

Oval

My anvil has a depression on the bottom

I will look for marks on it

on the feet and under the horn?btw it says sweden and 100 pounds on it

yall asked me to post pics of my anvil the other day to tell me what it isand one of my forge i think i got the pics small but idk

i like the grind on that knife it doesnt look like you did it with a file????

So it will hold an edge?

i would still suggest that you line it with clay i have a forge that is probly 100 plus years old and i line it with plain old clay and you can forge for hours without the pan getting too hot to touch
