piece of 60 grade rebar in the photo's. 12" blade, bronze guard and cap with iron spacer. Handle is ebony. Long/lean blade that is very springy. Overall its just under 18" and weighs 9 oz. Bottom picture was just after I forged it. Decided to go through tang instead of full. The nut will come off tomorrow and tang will be peened after epoxy has cured.

I love the way that looks. I like large knives anyway and this one looks lean and mean. Would love to see how it feels in person. Very very nice.

Mace, Last year was my third strike. To much money for me to try and make up with knife sales. Aldo missed his chance to see me last year. Everyonce in a while I get the urge to do some rebar. I was going to water quench but after all the work put into it I changed my mind.
 
WOW, that turned out really nice Ray. Makes me wonder how many knives I could have made from the rebar I've stuffed into concrete the last 30 years.:D

Hold everything! There is an official winner of the find the hidden rebar contest, cwilliams on Don Foggs forum was the first to spot it. He'll be receiving one 60 grade rebar knife kit.

Funny I didn't realize there was a piece of rebar laying under the horn or the anvil.
