My current project:
2-1-12 On the bench right now. Hog knife. 10" blade, 15" overall
12-5-11 Today I starting working with some 440-C steel. I will post some pics later.
11-6-11
forged of 5160 tool steel, I plan to leave some of the hammer marks. I removed some of the weight on the handle to keep balance. It would be nice with a router of some sort... maybe one day. Most likely a brown Cocobolo wood handle with two brass pins.

finished:
5160 steel, Elk, silver
