It curved up in my forge, so it trash.
I need to find decent metal, but I'm really to busy to work on one right now. That and my technology recent decided to all fail on me at once, so fun money is tied up.
It's something I'd like to get better at.
I'll have to hunt down a steel supplier.
One thing that really throws me is how a blade is "profiled", where the knife begins to get much thinner about 1/4 from the top, is that able to be done by hand?
