Matthew Paul Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hello, new guy here... I just wanted to post some of the knives that I made last week. I don't have pictures of a few and there are a few more that are works in progress. Most are 1080 or 5160, one is O1 Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think, if you could. -Matt (Mods, If I need to edit the MP knives from the pictures, that is fine, I can do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This is a nice start, and you have a good presentation, as for the logo, its good to tag your work and your photos to protect your rights to them. No worries there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is 1084 (I love this steel!) forged from 3/16" x 1" stock, 6" blade This kephart style test knife is also forged fromr 3/16x1" 1084 This little carving knife is 5160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Smith Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I dig that very fancy anvil you have going there... :P Good to know I'm not the only one smithing on an HF ASO (read: paperweight/boat anchor) :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Paul Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Jon, Ive updated since then ;) but it worked for what it was worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Smith Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Lucky you. There are surprisingly few anvils to be had down south. At least from what I've found. I wish I had the luck that some people had to just find one lying around somewhere. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spots Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Very.nice knives, I'm a big fan of blades that look forged if you know what I mean. Lucky you. There are surprisingly few anvils to be had down south. At least from what I've found. I wish I had the luck that some people had to just find one lying around somewhere. Haha Thats the truth. I'm lucky enough to have grown up with a dad who has a 200 lb kholswa but I think alot of the anvils here got melted down in World War 2 by old farmers who were doing their part in the war effort.
