Blacksmith Knife
« on: February 24, 2016, 03:41:00 PM »
I forged this knife in the historic blacksmith shop where I work. It was a special event with knife makers from all over the country gathered to visit and prepare for the Art of Steel Custom Knife Show. It's sitting on the seat of an old pedal powered grinder.

Really nice, Lin!  Curious how much steel do you need to start with past the ricasso to draw the tang out like that?
