Hello all,

I'll try not to make this too long. First knife for my good friend's father who gave me my first smith hammer. Sorry no pics as It's beyond me.

Drop point hunter...O1

Forged 1" round close to desired shape

Saber profile? full width to the line of point and about 1/3 of ricosso but did not think I would try for a clean line and blended the intersection.

Working with 220 grit before heat treat and of all the things to get hung up on the bevel at the point is giving me grief. Remember now that sharpening the old buck I never really thought the point area was quite right.

I have been working with the information studied here and thank you folks for all.


Dave
