Saturday morning I went out to the shop with forging on my mind. Did 4 of the little blades then and two others I already had. Sunday I went threw my antler collection and got 5 piece drilled and set with the blade I had intended it for. Monday I started putting them together and got two complete by 10 pm that night. Tuesday morning I was looking for something and spotted the little bowie blade so I ended up working on that the rest of the Tuesday and part of the night. That one wasn't in the plans so I ended up doing 6 little knives. The top 3 are out of the buggy spring and the bottom 3 are 1084. All the crowns are either white tail or mule deer. The one tapper is elk. Smallest knife is around 7" overall and the largest is around 10". All are through peened tangs with inset butt plates. All fittings are wrought iron and most of that from a buggy wheel.
