Cool!
Very basic runthrough that makes it seem a whole lot more reasonable for the average guy.

Thanks for the heads up. Pretty easy way for most anybody to get started. Well written too.

Thanks Fellas, I would never claim to be an expert by any means, but the method works with consistantly good results. I generally start with bar stock and heat treat in an oven, but a file knife is always fun. Here are a couple pics of my most recent. Osage orange, hidden pins, O-1, convex ground. My friend wanted my to leave some of the forging scale on. Came out pretty nice.
