Did you forge the blades or remove stock?

I removed stock started with 1.75"x.25" and ground.Saw Doug's knives sketched on paper off internet put pattern on steel and ground.  Only been messing with knives 3 weeks,but can't wait to forge and looking forward to using some better (harder)woods.

Personally, I think they .......... are gorgeous - I mean it, Rooster! There is a lot to be said for clean lines and graceful shapes - especially in cutlery - IMO.
