Proportions on this one appear tuned to perfection and with the reinforced point, skeletonized tang and excellent Hartsfield-style sheath a damn near perfect example. Brilliant execution!
Really like the steel choice for this application, also, although I don’t get why it would be “forged”?

Thanks for the comment!

I had a piece of steel left over from another project, that was too wide and short to be used for anything as is, so I forged it into this blade.

Yep, but I wouldn't do it if I didn't have a power hammer to do the heavy lifting.
