Well first post here on IFI and i thought id post a picture of a knife i made a while back. This is the knife i am most proud of. The shape made it a bit difficult to heat treat and temper properly. Seems softer around the tip and the bevel areas. Would love to hear some feed back. I am getting my forge tomorrow but still in the hunt for ANYTHING usable to pound on. Im very excited to restart this in my life. I had to sell everything i had made tool wise along with my forge and anvil as i was out of a job and needed money quick for mortgage payments.

 

Welcome Duckwalk!

Interesting blade! What is the materials?

Do some (LOTS) of reading here, you can get some great ideas here on improvised anvels and equipment. Keep at it!

This particular blade was a section of leaf spring from an older Nissan truck. unfortunately, this knife was also sold as a result of lack of income. Got a nice job now and i cant wait to get back to it! The handle was just some scrap wood i had laying around. cut the block in half, scorched it then put it on the polishing wheel. turned out rather nice.
