Has anybody out there forged a knife uglier than this one? I'm going to try to post a pic so you can see for yourself that I am truly the master of the ugliest forged blade.

It's made from 5160 steel from an overload spring. The handle is black micarta. This knife was really just an experiment. I wanted to make one like the original Bowie knife carried by James Bowie.

If you think you've made one uglier than this, you'll have to prove it with a pic. Until then, I am the master! (I wanted to see if I finally figured out how to post a pic here,too)

Thank you for this posting! ....

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure how to make a link that would open up in a NEW browser window like you did! This way you can view the image(s) in one window and read the posting in another. I checked out your code and found the answer.

Thanks again,

Where's your ugly knife? I feel like I've been used. I'm going to go post to KIT's 'Go for the record' again. That might make me feel better. Glad my post helped you figure out your little problem, you no knife bastid.

That looks like a peen job to me.I'll bet you sold that one to somebody for a good price. Nice lines and shape. Definitely a forged knife.

Very perceptive, TJ. I thought the peen job would add something to the kinfe. I could have been mistaken. We all have to learn sometime. That was my 2nd knife from the forge. I hope they get better, but, I'm still the winner!
 
Max, show them the other knife. I like it better.

Howdy There......!
I really don't think that either one of those knives are ugly. They look pretty good to me, look like someone has put some heart and soul into them. I would consider them more art than knives...!!Look Great to me.
