Hey all,
Here are three new blades I was able to make between orders so you can make your own hand forged, high carbon steel knife.

The first is a 4 1/2" small, hidden-tang Bowie blade forged from multi-quenched W1 high carbon steel with forged flats and an etched finish.
Price: $110.00, plus shipping.

This hidden-tang Drop-point knife forged from 1084 high carbon steel. This knife is edge-quenched, has a 4 1/4" cutting edge and a hand-rubbed finish.
Price; $100.00, plus shipping.

Last, a full-tang Drop-point knife forged from 1084 high carbon steel. This knife is edge-quenched, 9" overall length, has a 4 1/4" cutting edge and a hand-rubbed finish.
Price; $100.00, plus shipping.

Question about the first one : the hardened part is the narrow curved line or the slant black line about half the width ? thanks

The hardest part of the blade is below the wavy line closest to the edge. I like to multi-quench these W steel blades sometimes to give them more "life". The area below the straight line is harder than above it but, not as hard as the edge.
 
I'd like to purchase your 4 1/2" small, hidden-tang Bowie blade and try my hand at creating a worthy handle for that fine looking blade.

Thanks,

Brett
