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.

(Mods, If I need to edit the MP knives from the pictures, that is fine, I can do that)

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.

Thank You

Nice knives! I really like the handle on the first one.

Pretty snazzy, I like them!

I forged a few more and figured that I'd share.



This one is 5160. 1/4" thick 5 3/4" blade.






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

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:

Jon, Ive updated since then ;) but it worked for what it was worth.

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

Very.nice knives, I'm a big fan of blades that look forged if you know what I mean.

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.

Hard to think of a beautiful hundred poun hay budden as armor plating on a tank, but you're probably right

you are not looking in the right place for them John .

Definitely, something wondrous!
