Taught myself how to forge making knives like this. I'd say my style has changed just alittle. http://www.bladegallery.com/knives/knife.asp?knifeid=3093&pics=small&alt=one

I'll say.

Style may have changed but that is seriously cool. Looks like you started out as a natural, unlike the rest of us who have to work to do anything decent! Thanks for sharing,

Nice, I guess you have changed directions. Gib

I think it's cool. Make another one!

My knowledge for moving steel with had held hammers has greatly improved. When this knife was made I working on another construction project. I'd bring the scrap rebar home and the next week I was selling a knife or two the next week. At the time I had a coal forge made from a truck break drum. It worked fine for the smaller knives but the one in the link was forged from number 8 bar. 1" diameter material. Nothing was forged to shape, just flattend out and alot of stock removal to make these knives. The only thing I mirror polish now is my head......
