Title: finally learning to forge...
Post by: wakolbinger on May 14, 2008, 10:50:00 AM

I love workin' over a forge.

My first try. Made from an old file I bought for a dollar at a garage sale. Antler and redheart handle. Copper ferrule and rivets.

Very nice.  Would like to see some pics of the whole process.
  Like the handle, I personaly like the way you left the blade. There is no dought that it was not forged. Grate job
