AidenCC Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Every knife I've made so far has involved the use of power tools of some kind, especially a drill and belt sander. For a bit of a change I decided to commit to only using hand tools, and so far I'm liking it! The design started out as a puukko but I added a bit of a curve in the blade and tang. The blade was forged from 1/2" O-1 round stock. http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38460-tang-forged/ First I forged the tang http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38457-blank-cut-off/ The material for the blade flattened and cut off from the main stock http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38459-profile-filed/ The blade forged, annealed, and profiled http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/image/38458-one-bevel-filed/ The start of one bevel filed It's too late to do anymore tonight, so that's it for now.
