Sam Salvati Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Forged this from 1075 at Aldo's last hammerin, let me know what you all think 13 3/4" long 4 3/4" handle 9 1/4"ish blade 1 1/2" wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 That's some good, clean forging. I don't know how much meat you have left near the end, but a couple shallow grooves... one running in line with the main spine and another in line with top of the second step... both terminating near the tip. Kind of a step-down, double false edge deal. Does that make sense? Regardless... just rambling. Still, great hammer control and super clean lines.

Sam Salvati Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks guys! Don, I am thinking of adding a fuller. I started grinding, I was wondering everyone's opinion so far on if I should grind the back edge or leave it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua.M Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 i think it would be nice ground down... i only do the forge finish when i think there is too many things to fix when grinding and maybe add your fuller and leave the inside of it forge finished with a nice shiny back edge, just my thaughts... your the pro ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Nice work Sam, I think it would look good on the if you grind the clip. Look like it be fun to chop with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
