Markowitz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Guys! My name is Tristin I'm a 20 year old apprentice bladesmith living in La Center, Washington. I have already made my first blade and my Teacher believes I have a real talent for this. I hope to learn a lot here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

contraption maker Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hello Tristin and welcome to IFI. I also would be curious whether your knife was forged or stock removal. Nothing wrong with either one, just wondering as I have never made one by stock removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowitz Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Sorry for the late response forgot to turn notifications on, the blade was forged. I don't really like the idea of stock removal (No offense to those who do) personally because to me it feels kinda lazy, as well I like the idea of when Forging you're giving life and spirit and essence to the steel.

ThomasPowers Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just remember that in forging the metal you can also degrade and damage it as well. Forging doesn't automatically makes things better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 All blades are stock removal, forging is just one preforming method. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
