christian Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 This is a knife I forged awhile back and thought of finishing, i just finished the sanding today and am going to quench it later on. I do not know what type of steel it is. However I have made several other knives of the same piece of steel. Ive done some expiermenting and found that this steel holds a good edge when just water quenched. skinned an entire deer with one of my previously made knives from this steel no need to sharpen it. I punched the holes, and am going to leather wrap the handle. I hope you enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 For resizing your pics befpre posting, go to the net and bring up Fotosizer. It's a free download that I use to resize mine. Works great, when I remember to resize. I resize to 600px X 450px. You can use what ever size you want, though. Hope this helps. Nice looking blade BTW.

Marksnagel Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Nice knife. I'll be glad to see it when you finish it. Hope you get your forge up and running soon. While large pictures can be a pain most times, the one good thing about them is they allow people to view details about the piece.
