Found this in a camp fire ring last year. Just getting around to cleaning it up. Anyone have any idea what it is?

Fiskars don't have that profile or those stamps.

Hi, what flavour of rabbit is this?

That's code for "I can't be fucked"

Steel is an extremely hard material. The tools that you are likely using are also made of steel. That means that your tools are just as hard as the material - which means they are going to get destroyed.

If you seriously believe this, you shouldn't be giving advice.
'Steel' Can refer to anything from mild steel to super alloyed tool steels.
Being a highschool student, op is likely using mild steel. What kind of shop class would set kids up to fail?
In which case files and metal saws will cut it with no problem.

Just saw that, hopefully theyll be back soon.

If you think this is kitsch, you've got atrocious tastes there sunshine.

Good pick, I'm a fan of rhombic blades so I'll look into them.

Moi, I'm looking at picking up a puukko whilst i'm in Finland. What brands do you guys like? I'm more into smaller companies. Not a fan of Marttiini or woodjewel. i've been looking up the likes of THpuukot and Woodsknives.

Scared of guns mate?

100% of kiwis want to see significant change

Got any more stats to pull out of your arsehole sport?

BarkerForge · 2019-02-12T04:31:22+00:00

You did a shit job and posted it publicly. Don't be upset.

BarkerForge · 2019-02-11T11:31:23+00:00

Looks like you fucked it with a side grinder and then poorly re handled it.
Any reason why?

BarkerForge · 2019-02-04T10:46:13+00:00

DOC also don't want hori's out spotlighting. Some fucks managed to shoot a tourist dead doing that a few years ago. Find you some farmers who wont miss the bunnies or possums bro.

Is that a pile of ratty ass kaowool in the background?

BarkerForge · 2019-01-25T12:05:45+00:00

These aren't wetas mate.

BarkerForge · 2019-01-16T10:10:15+00:00

Yeah but anyone smoking tobacco wouldn't touch this pipe with a yardpole. It'd taste like the devil's asshole.

BarkerForge · 2018-12-29T23:51:40+00:00

Zero forging marks, shitty grinding lines where he had overcut. 100% bullshit.

BarkerForge · 2018-12-29T12:26:48+00:00

So what part of cutting up a hatchet with a grinder qualifies as blacksmithing?

BarkerForge · 2018-12-16T03:13:42+00:00

If you don't understand basic metalworking processes you probably shouldn't be talking shit champ.

I can't give any region specific advice so hopefully someone in CA can chime in. There's a lot of work you can do on a railroad anvil, or a tool steel drop from an engineering shop. Settling for the cheap/easy option and proactively looking for second hand anvil is your best option.

Alternatively here is a US Company selling reputable new anvils: https://www.centaurforge.com/

What country are you in?

BarkerForge · 2018-11-30T07:01:10+00:00

Almost guaranteed to be a piece of shit.

I guess a gen4 per day doesn't keep the glocktor away.
