Ridgewayforge Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am not a bladesmith. However, when two friends asked me if I could forge them some knives, I figued it would be an interesting lesson in forging, and so took on the comission. They are made out of leaf spring, of which the composition I believe is 5160, or thereabouts. They are normalized twice, and one of them polished the best I could. I open them up as items for full out critique. I would like to know how I can improve after these two. Thank you! ~Ridgeway Forge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aden Cassidy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Probably make a finger groove or something just before the edge so your fingers dont slip as easily and cut yourself. otherwise they look fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
