Loneforge Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hello everyone I'm new to this page and somewhat new to Bladesmithing. I hand forge all my blades and finish all by hand(no power tools) I finish with files and paper. I do have a belt sander which I use to do a bit of profiling and handle work. A good friend of mine made me a knife a couple of years ago and I was really impressed with it. He used stock removal and it turned out great. The more I looked at blades, the more I learned. I learned that the coolest I've ever done is pound hot steel. I can't get enough. Since that time I've built a coal forge and a gas forge and just keep making and buying more tools. I've recently dove into making patterned steel. I've had some suceess and some failures. I'm sure I'll learn a lot more being involved with a site like this. Cheers and thank you for having me. Darren Robichaud, Loneforge Blades This a 1084 DH Russel that I copied from a Buddies knife. Jatoba on the handle and 3/16 brass pins. If anyone can tell me how to add photo's to the gallery on my profile I would appreciate it! Thanks ......the New Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
