Got an Atlas mini forge, great small gas forge. Ive done a bunch of small knives in it but this is the first large one. Worked Great!

6.5" blade total length 11.75
O1 Tool Steel - 3/16 thick
Canvas Micarta Scales
Titanium Pins

Let me know what you think,

Hi,
Did you use it to forge the knife or just in the heat treat process? I am very interested in picking one up to do HT in and wonder if it's a good idea.

I heat treat with it but i have also done some small forging projects, it works great and heats up fast.. nothing but good things to say about the atlas..

Price wise you cant beat it.

Great work! For your first mid-larger sized blade it turned out mighty nice! Love the green canvas and choice in pins.

Edit: Probably black, not green?
