Rashelle Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) The following is made by a youth student of mine, as forged of 1080. I am proud of her. Oh yeah this was her second day bladesmithing. Edited July 24, 2019 by Rashelle forgot stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou L Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Very cool. I’d love to see the outcome of her grinding and finishing. That’s the real grueling work of bladesmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 LOl yup. Though her grind on the initial butter knife she made was pretty good, same as for the grinding practice neck knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyGoatLady Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Very nice! Great to see other women forging metal. I'm not a bladesmith. Maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Here it is after grinding and wire brushed. It was made intended to be an integral handle so handle was purposely left wide with rounded edges. She went ahead and drilled a hole on the end just in case she later wants to wrap the handle.

Stormcrow Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 She did better than I did on my first knife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah, I think her forging may of been cleaner then mine on my first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyO Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Looks good Rashelle! How's the summer? Hope all the instructors are working out this year. (I'm hoping to move to Newberg soon....fingers crossed) You planning on being at Swaptoberfest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
