Got a broken tractor tire chain link from a co-worker today, and a set of Matt Parkinson's blade tongs in the mail. Gonna be some smashin' soon.

Some shop photos before daylight pix.
This is the only (so far) actual AuK4.0. It's a slightly reduced (drawing shrunkified) version of the AuK4.5, which has nearly identical in profile to the BK-62 except with a shorter blade. The extended ricasso gives it a very nice full grip.

And a family photo going from 3.5-6.0:

Here are some things in progress including a bit of forged Honda spring, the remaining core of a rusted-beyond-recognition rail spike (found on a saltwater beach), and what is probably the 10th-year anniversary birudashi...

More stuff. Planning, profiling, and finished another mini-dashi (rudder bearing scrap) that had been in the drawer for years:
