BlackMetalViking Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 A couple little blacksmith knives. The first is hardened and sharpened, and is quite the nice little whittler. I made it out of a 4" piece of 1/4" Nail. The second has yet to be hardened, I have annealed it to do some file work first. I made it from 6" x 1/2" mild square. I chose to go with mild steel, knowing full well that they would not be the strongest knives, but in doing so, I can work on technique and control without using up my good metal. These are two of the first knives I actually forged blade to tang, not the best but I'm very happy with them! Thanks for reading! Viking I also thought I'd throw in my first start to finish K.S.O. It's sharp as a razor........until you use it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 "Strong" isn't the issue, it's edge holding ability. I'm sure that even my knife abusive ways would not destroy a mild steel knife, but I would soon wear it to nothing trying to keep it sharp. That said, I can't fault your style, particularly the bowie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
