Nice job!! That style is so cool. Lin Rhea is another. Lots to learn in copying what looks like a simple design. Kudos for upping your game and trying a new style! Forge On!

I really dig what you have to say about pre-forms… that is my experience also!

Need more metal working puns. Nice project.

That is really neat.

I am really looking forward to watching you craft the handle! I guess if you like the end product enough to make more handles like it, that would justify making dies for your press to get the top strap in the configuration you want.

Hehehe, you said peen and I laughed like the man child I am.

Youve got this Mr. Green!

STEVE! Part 1

Looking good Steve! Looking forward to the next part.

Beautiful work, Steve! 😃 Looking forward to part 2! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

lol, later on you'll probably look back on this and wonder why you went the hardest possible route to the finish- literally in the heat of the moment! I am liking the whole idea and plan though

Awesome work.

How awesome. Such a great work 😉😉

Thank you

Cool build, Steve! I follow JoshP and have met him at Maker's Camp.. .great guy. He helped me with some stainless damascus in a video a while ago. In your build, I gotta say I was yelling "swage block" when you were hammering on that handle. 😜 Looking forward to the next one.

@@GreenBeetle Holland Anvil has them pretty reasonably priced. That's where I got mine.

Always enjoy your content. Makes me want to go forge some more

Don't worry Steve my preform sux also

Since you like experimenting, would it be interesting to nickel plate a high carbon steel knife, to protect it from oxydation (except of course the cutting edge). How would it resist to abuses, and cleaning, over time?...

interesting idea. I bet it scratches off pretty easy. unless you really caked it on. I've heard you can get it to about a mm?

You can start a dish on the horn step where the face ends. turn the flat so you can hammer into the V with a cross peen.

Not a criticism at all, I think you did great. But since you don't have a swage, why not use a straight or cross peen hammer and put the piece in the cavity of the step on the anvil?

Looks good. I wonder if it might look cool with an LED lit epoxy handle fill.

I think the reason the spine whacking wasn't very fruitful is because of the 52100.. Stuff moves like a rock lol
