nc_cooter Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I am finally feeling good enough to start making knives again. I started forging last Saturday morning about 6 AM. I lasted about one hour. Did the same for the next three mornings, doing a little better each day. Finally got 4 blades rough forged. I really like the new 3# Hofi hammer I got for Christmas. All the blades were forged using Aldo Bruno's 1084FG. It moves great under the hammer. The first 3 were forged from a piece the size shown at the top of the pic. The last one from a smaller piece. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenchcrack Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 You did those not feeling too good, eh? Wish I felt as bad as you do; maybe my knives would come out that good. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
