My first post here!

My first forged blade finished! I forged this at the ABS Intro course at Haywood CC in Clyde NC.

MS instructors were Greg Neely & Burt Foster

10 3/4 OAL, Mild steel guard, stained curly maple coffin handle with silver wire inlay and scrimmed Whitetail antler.

Filework, silver wire inlay, I'm impressed!
An excellent first effort and very fitting for a maker from Maryland. :thumbup:
And welcome to Blade Forums sir.
 
Steve, your hanging out in a tough neighborhood boy.:D

You did good job on that one. Really good.:thumbup: Lin
 
Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum. I will be posting a spearpoint hunter soon!

Lin, nice to hear from you over here !

Very nice work indeed. It may be your first forged piece, but it sure doesn't look to be your first knife.

I can see a lot of Moran's influences on this one. Very good Sir. Kudos to you.
 
Looks good Steve. Where in MD are you? We've got several makers in the MD/PA/VA area...
