Great Smokey Mountain Blade Symposium is in two weeks and finally the weather broke enough to to get the forge fired up. It's been a tough winter in the Northeast. Snow falls already hit record depths and been too cold to pound steel in my un-heated garage.
With the three day February thaw, I made a camp blade to try my hand in the cutting competition at the symposium. This will be a first for me :eek:
The rules are:
1) Knife can't be more than 15 inches long.
2) Blade can't be more than 10 inches long.
3) Safety lanyard attached to blade & hand.
Here is my entry. Now I need some coaching...maybe Lin or others can chime in with any tricks to the technique

Forged from 3/8 X 1 1/2 inch 5160 bar stock, 13 1/2 inches OAL, and 8 1/2 inch blade.
