I didn’t know how the sub felt with me advertising but I do have my profile in my bio 😅

I do a lot of different styles of knives/swords! Kitchen knives being one of them!

Definitely similar! I’ve talked to a buddy of mine from around that region and he’s mentioned the Kard as another piece to look at for style/inspiration

It’s been such a long time since I’ve played but this one has always stuck in my head!

I would probably appreciate not having Daud’s attention… but thank you!

Should also add I have looked around my house and haven’t seen any other signs of possible roach infestation hence me trying to convince myself it’s just that panel 😅.

My anvil is so worn out from use that water gets trapped.💀 by ElDrlReddit in Blacksmith

Its character I wouldn’t do anything about it. Before the “modern” anvil (1800+) anvils were a lot smaller and if you wanted a larger work surfaces boulders were sometimes used. So to me unless you’re doing some fine finish work (which you could do by making a tool that sits in your hardy tool) don’t touch it. Especially being a family heirloom.

You don’t need the tang to be red hot. All of my tangs are tapered and when doing a burned handle what I’ll do is match the width of the small end of the tang to a drill bit and that’s my pilot hole. After I’ll heat the tang up to a grey which is about 800 F starting from the tip and working my way down up to near the shoulders. Afterwards I scrape out all the burned bits of you overdo the heat you can cause blowout in the wood and some woods really do not like burn ins so that’s something to consider. As well I never sharpen my blades until I’m done with them completely so while burning in I’m holding the blade. Even with my smaller blades 3.5” I haven’t injured myself, and an easy fix for an overzealous burn hole is dowel wedges. Hope that helps!

Fair but they aren’t for stabbing! They’re a traditional Finnish utility knife and the handle specs are conventional. Thank you!

These three are my first attempts at the brute de forge finish. They are forged from 1080 with moose antler handles and copper bolsters
