I Forge Iron

Birth of a neck knife (picture heavy)

Just finished up a neck knife as a present for a friend. I haven't done much making for others, so I put a lot of time into this one because you really want it to be good if someone else is going to use it. Here you see the birth and growing up of this knife:D Started out as a 2"x2"X1/4" piece of cruforge v I cut off a larger piece destined for another project. I first had to forge that down then draw it out for something roughly the right size to get started with, then I forged my blade. He wanted a flat/saber grind so that's what it has. Took the hand sanding after to a 600 grit satin finish. Handle is a black and red G10 he picked out with nickel silver pins. I also made a kydex sheath for it so he can hang it around his neck. The aim is to be a handy knife for when he's fishing. Hopefully it holds up and does good by him.
