I just finished this one. It was something that I'd been wanting to try. It's forged from the end piece of a bar of 1084.
Tricia thinks I should donate it for the ABS auction at the upcoming Hammer-in at Old Washington. I don't if there's much interest in these things or not.
I did find out that simple design does not necessarily mean simple to make. Getting that handle/guard thing shaped and positioned like I wanted was somewhat a daunting task. It strengthened my already deep respect for a real blacksmith.
