Pault17 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I would have to wholly agree with maddog on the technique comment. I watched one of Mr. Brazeal's "one-heat" videos and saw that technique in motion. I started trying it out was was able to forge a nice looking RR spike knife/letter opener with a forged-in clip point and only minor filing to put a edge on it. The handle was a good 4.5 inches with a 5.5 inch blade of even thickness. Mind you, I did all of this in less than an hour while my brother and his son stood and watched. My brother is now in the process of building the gas forge he has been talking about because his son wants to do this stuff. Sorry for my long-windedness, but the point is the technique really works, if you don't have access to a power hammer paul Oh, and I will have to borrow your idea with a little change here and there. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
