Well still lots of progress to be made, but I did much better shaping this one with just the hammer and anvil. I was even able to taper the blade and for the most part hammer in the bevels.
Forged from 1/2 inch O1 round stock. Pics taken next to my Kershaw Vapor II for comparison. I think I could really learn to like this bladesmithing thing:thumbup:.
Just threw it in the oven for 1st temper cycle. Comments welcome.
Thanks
