Wow. I want a power hammer. I drew one out today to about 16 inches and it took a lot of work... granted it was my 3rd time ever forging something though. I made a small snake out of it.

yeah, im thinkin letter opener for this one i geuss. thanks.

yeah i knew it was mild. i dont really know what kind of steel it is exactly but im assuming its mild. i just made it to have some fun with the forge and for decoration so it wont bother me really if it wont hold a good edge.

okay, ill try the superquench. thanks.

Nice looking knife! That seems rediculous though that you have to give the money to the school.

i, this is actually my second attempt at forging (first was a file knife that melted) its made of mild steel and i was wondering what would be the best method of hardening it? ik it wont get very hard being mild steel. also let me know what you think, ill post pictures here when its all done. Thanks

A LOT better than my first try. I tryed to make my first knife out of an old file today and i accidentally melted it in half in my home made forge... Well at least i know now my forge gets hot enough. Sweet lookin knife you made though, hopefully my next attempt will look half that good.

Sweet, got the anvil home and its heavier than the guy said. according to my scale its a little over 130# face is quite smooth too. here it is home, i wire brushed the face and sanded/wirebrushed the horn.

I won the bid! pickin it up tomorow thank you everybody for the help.

Yeah. hopefully ithe price doesnt clime too much. thanks everyone. Is it all steel? or do you think it is iron with a steel face?

ahhh. cant get picture to show. maybe this will work.. sorry bout that
