aslakhv Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have freshly started to hammer. I am currently mostly interested in smithing blades of all sizes. I am 17 years old and I live in Norway on a farm. I have set up a temporary smithy but I am thinking of buying a pretty big container to house it. I have only made sticktange blades so far and mostly scandinavian style as that is what I am used to. Been interested in making knifes and so far i have made around 40 knives without the blade, mostly self learned. I have newly signed up at the forum mostly to read but I guess I'll be posting a post now and then. This is my best result so far made out of an old file: - Aslak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnewberry Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Great first blade! What did you use to grind or polish the blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslakhv Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 To grind the surface i first used a regular metal grinder and then did the final grinding on my Tormek T7. I also used my T7 to sharpen it and polishing it on the leatherwheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
