I Forge Iron

Salvage project

Hello everyone
Haven't posted in a while but this is a project I finished earlier this winter. I forged this knife this spring while I was making a knife for my dad's 70th birthday, I had abandoned it because it had formed a crack up the inside of the spine by the front finger groove. So it sat on my workbench for the summer until about December, when I decided to have another go at it. I managed to grind the crack out without taking too much of the handle material out. I had to take out about 3/4" of length out of the blade and about a 1/4" out of the width of the front of the handle. Actually I really like the profile that I ended up with, really nice skinning pattern. The blade is forged in about 29 layers of 1084 and 15n20. Etched for 15 min in muriatic acid, and has a walnut handle.
Cheers
