Iron City Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hi all, this is my first attempt at forging a RR spike knife, let me know what you think. Actually this is the first thing I have ever forged. The knife took me many hours and kind of took on a life of it's own... this it how it came out. I'll start my next one in a few days.

John Martin Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Sweet, how much grinding/sanding did you end up doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron City Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for the input everyone I appreciate it. I showed the knife to a few people and they didn't seem real impressed so I was a little hesitant to put it up on the forum, I am glad I did. M Brothers, to answer your question...ALLOT, I just kept on grinding and sanding till it looked respectable. I tried bluing it with Birchwood Casey Perma Blue but I did not like the way it looked so I took it off. Like I stated before, I'm very new at the whole forging-knife making thing and I don't even know what questions to ask that would help me along. again thanks for the comments.

MRobb Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think those who you showed it to, that weren't real impressed, are just jealous. Great job. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
