finally learning to forge...
« 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.

  Like the handle, I personaly like the way you left the blade. There is no dought that it was not forged. Grate job
