My First of Aldo's 1084FG

[nc_cooter]

Got my order of Aldo's 1084FG yesterday and I forged this one this afternoon.
It's ready for grinding and was made from a 1/4"x3/4"x6" piece. Blade length is 6".

Poor pic trying to show distal taper.

Either your shoulder is back up to speed or you've figured out a way around it, because that looks good.

Thanks Nathan, I figured out a "new to me" forging style. Sort of a modified "Hofi" style,

I have no idea what that means (I'm not a forger). Perhaps some day I can come over and see what you're talking about. You're not much more than an hour out.

You are welcome to visit, Nathan. I am in the shop most every week end. Who knows, you might get bitten by the forging bug.
