Hi,
I spent a day on the anvil with my girlfriend's farrier yesterday.
Here's the result:


In the next few weeks I will do the heat treatment, handle installation and finishing. I will have to make a leather pouch for it as well.

Taking orders?

Not sure yet. You can still pm me if you want. I would like to make sure I can produce something descent at an honest price first.

Clever man!

Well done that looks very cool.

Those few flaws near the tip are most probably from working it to cold a few times.

We really struggled at first to do our welds. On this one the weld did not quite close properly at the end so I had to chop 10 mm off. Hence why the Damascus lines are not following the profile to the tip.
I used 1095 and 15N20.

I used to forge knives about 15 years ago as a hobby back in Europe. I am happy to get back into it.

Great work!

I am very jealous.

Please let me know if you start selling Damaskus bars!

Friwi where are you based out off? I'm in the process of trying to learn to forge and would love a lesson or to watch
