Camp knife
Mesophilic:
Thanks guys.
I do look forward to the day I can swing a hammer again. Something magical about pulling hot steel out of a fire and pounding it in to something useful.
Mr. Woolery:
I did stock removal until 5 years ago. ABS master smiths often utilize stock removal when it is the better way to make a blade. Wayne Goddard has written about this in multiple places.
For my own blades I currently am having more fun forging. But I don’t believe it makes a blade superior to grinding from a bar.
Dieselcheese, please keep on sharing your work. (And everyone else, too, of course).

Stoker:

This section of the forum ‘At The Forge’ isn’t exclusive to just smelting and forging raw materials into tools and such. It’s a place where all things that happen in a smiths shop can be shared, critiqued, and information shared.
I often hammer all my Damascus into bars for later use. I wouldnt condemn someone else’s work bc they decided to pound out round stock or just do ‘stock removal’
Steel is steel. Just bc it wasn’t smelted and hammered on site doesn’t reduce the value of the final product.

Either way man, you took a useless chunk of steel and turned it into something with a 1000 uses. Nice work bud.
