Got a healthy start on a 7” k tip out of some 3/16” 1084. Profile cleaned up, and got the distal taper mostly where I want it to be.

Right at 5-1/4” for the handle, almost 9” OAL

80CRV2 blade, stabilized buckeye burl, and 416 stainless pins. Handle is on the bigger side by request, but it still is quite comfortable to me either choked up or held normally

Hey guys, finished this guy up just before the New Year (Hope everyone here had a great holiday season!) This guy has an 11" blade forged from 1095, bronze guard and pin, dyed maple burl handle, and a mustard patina. This was commissioned by a friend of mine at work for 'sticking' pigs at butchering time, and it oughta manage that pretty well lol

Thanks Joshua! There are things I would change if it had been for myself, satin flats and bevels being chief among them. Of the whole build though, I am happiest with how the handle turned out. He also wanted a kydex sheath, but I think I may make a leather sheath as well. I really think the leather will compliment it better

One issue was a low spot from forging and leaving the texture on it. The scotchbrite belt ended up rubbing it a bit there too. I’m probably gonna attempt etching that spot to darken it back down a bit

Finished this lil guy up today… Blade is 80CRV2, bronze guard and pin, and a whitetail antler crown

Got this 4” wide belly skinner profile forged and cleaned up… now to layout for bevels, grind, and then HT

Forged this guy from a section of Aldo’s W2 and got a start on rough grinding it… gonna shoot for a sexy hamon on this one. now to make a couple test coupons for figuring out how to nail the HT on the W2

Thanks Brian! I’d cleaned up the profile a bit here, but I was pretty pleased with the forging overall. I’m still learning better ways to go about things, so I really appreciate the compliment

Got a decent start on a small nakiri for my wife yesterday… 5-3/4” 1075

I did have a couple more pics, so here y’all go…

Forged this from 80CRV2 for a friend of mine. He asked if I could leave the forged texture on the flats which I hadn’t done before… I was pretty pleased with how it turned out in the end though. Guard and pin are silicon bronze with a black fiber spacer. Handle is Euro Red Stag. Blade is 9” and the knife has an OAL of around 15 to 15-1/2”

Thanks! I got these scales from https://instagram.com/flemingwoodsupply?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Forged this guy from 1084 a while back. As forged texture on the ricasso, spalted mango scales, and bronze pins.
