Couple of recent projects

Mr. Woolery:
Needed a poker for the wood stove.  Made one yesterday. 

If anyone is interested in the process, I also shot video, so you can see how I made it.  I mean, it is pretty self explanatory, just seeing it, but I always love watching the process.

Mr. Woolery:
And a couple of recent knives.  These are too often called Viking knives, but I am unaware of any actual historical evidence for these in a Viking context.  Still, fun to make and fun to look at.  I love one-piece blacksmith knives.  They tell the whole story in one piece of steel.

Followed by a simple, basic knife.  Maple handle, forged blade.  It is a little bigger than I really wanted, but turns out to feel really good in the hand.  I'll add it to my spoon carving tools and use it for wasting.

KHalverson:
very good video
I like making blacksmith knives also.
I use the horn and a straight pein hammer to draw out the tangs.

DC:
Nice. I've always thought that a knife has two important parts, the handle and about 1/16" along the cutting edge. The rest is fluff and lipstick. Although sometimes I like fluff and lipstick ;) ;)

Mesophilic:
Nice work,  thanks for posting.   Liked the vid, too.
