welder19 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Looks pretty good for your first try at knives, my first try didn't even remotely look like what I had pictured in my head or even much like any kind of knife for that matter. welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 A trick for twisted handles like those is to do the twist before you forge the blade so you have a smooth transition. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith537 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Folks, Just a comment on anvil ring, I have one that is really pearcing in pitch. I was told to put magnets on the side of it and it will take the high pitch out of it. Well it really works. I used six ceramic magnets from Princess Auto about 1.5" x 2.5". Try it it helps. Tim..
