Ghetto Forging Tad's Blade

[stabber]

Here is a blade I forged to look similar to Tad's awesome knife. Yes, I asked Tad's permission to have a go at it
And a few others I forged out as well. The Larger ones are Aldo's 1084, The smaller ones are Aldo's 01. Thinner stock but I really liked working with the 01!!

I'm looking forward to building a little forge and getting going on building some stuff out of hot metal. There's some inspiration to be found in this thread

Thanks again Tad for letting me try to duplicate your knife:thumbup:

Thanks Lorien! If I didn't run out of Propane, I would have run out of steel I can't wait to hammer out my next one:thumbup:

It's all Indian George's fault
