dennis_hl Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I tried my hand at forging a double edged blade. I guess I don't do things in a small way, it is my largest blade to date, 21.5" I'll post some pix tomorrow. It is straight and the bevel is even, hope it quenches ok :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feukair Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'd love to see the pics. How did you forge the bevel on each side. I''ve tried forting a bevel down the edge of some scrap blades I've been making. Trying to get the blade as close to finished shape as possible so i have to grind away as little material as possible to finish it. I'm still just playing. I can get a good bevel down one side by holding the steel at and angle as well as striking at an angle but I've been dinging up my anvil surface.... which is a bummer. I got a cheap anvil tho so I'm sure it's not hardened or anything. Someday, if i get any good at this, i'll get a nice anvil... L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
