Owen the sad part is I decided to preside this knife after watching your video where you flatten the tang near the blade to create the finger guard
-
Here’s a picture of the knife as it stands now after the tang melted haven’t gotten anymore time in the forge yet
-
well I don't have access to a welding machine anymore but I was worried that a weld might induce undue stress points due to the composite metals
-
ill try and get a photo up in a few hours after I get home and some sleep but the idea was to make a simple knife handle by bending the elongated tang back around to the blade hilt and making a final much like the picture below from google images not my knife

Jamb Knife, Take-Down Concept
Justin leonard replied to Wesley Alberson's topic in Design and Critique
man these are awesome -
while attempting to forge a rat tail on a knife i left the tang in the fire too long and melted it off is there any way to salvage this as i have already profiled the blade shape and bevels
-
That would be great if I had a belt grinder I still have to draw file my bevels
-
Yes setting the secondary bevel is my real question I've used land key to do it a few times but I was just wondering about some other people's ideas

If I was to build a side blast would I need to build a fire pit or just some sort of barrier around the pipe -

Actually Loki that second one you have there with the two large dirt mounds I really like seems simple and effective with too much fuel to keep it burning
