So I hopped on out to the forge and started pounding metal! 5160 semi-clip point 12" OAL It'll eventually get a very simple wood grip w/ paracord wrap over it, and I'm waiting to hear back if he wants a mirror polish or a blade coating to keep oxidation at bay. Oh and does anyone have any ideas on good blade coatings?

March 18, 201214 yr I don't coat mine, I just blue them with gun bluing after cleanup of the steel. Most of mine are stock removal knives though. Looker
