TJ,
That's it....now your really hooked! It's just like Lay's chips.....ya can't have just one!:-)
The hard work is all worth it, just think of all the people you'll impress with that firm handshake that swinging a hammer will give you. Congrats on #1, I wish my first forged piece had turned out so well!

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!http://www.nebsnow.com/L6steel

That is a great looking knife. For a first forged knife that is very impressive!!
 
Howdy there....!
All I can do is add to the acslaims, that is one FINE LOOKIN BLADE..... I sure wished my first knife would have lood that good, and you are one of those hammer pounders. I can do that much pounding, I am a stock removal mam myself. But great lookin blade.....!

Nothing loke a good scan to make a knife look good. Almost didn't fit so I can't make them any bigger. H what the heck I'll get a bigger scanner.

Thanks Again

TJ Thats a nice looking Bowie! My first hand forged broke right in the middle with hardly any torture at all. The grain inside was huge. I must have overheated it along the way. Bruce
