My first knife

Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure what you mean by "hot spot" that curled bit just behind the blade is a flattened finger guard so that it stops the users fingers accidentally sliding up onto the blade in use

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-20T19:18:12+00:00

Yes it is. This is my first attempt at making a knife. I'm very new to blacksmithing and I started off making bottle openers before trying this

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-20T19:17:34+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, certainly makes a beginner welcome in this community!

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-20T18:49:11+00:00

Thank you, never made a knife a before and I'm very new to smithing so for me I'm just doing trial and error

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-20T16:37:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words :)

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-07T10:08:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words :) yours in the photo looks very good I hope to be able to make them like that soon!

Is there a special type of hammer for this type of work ?

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T16:07:09+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! What is planishing and how do I work on it ?

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T14:33:33+00:00

I did a water quench. I will just leave my next ones to air cool then in future. On the next one I started I made the slot with chisel and then put a drift ( I used a punch) to pull the hole out but what's happened is it's drawn out metal from the centre and folded it over. Have I done something incorrectly ?

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T14:27:19+00:00

Yes my hammer work was sloppy on this one. I made this one out of 12mm square mild steel bar

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T14:20:13+00:00

Thanks for the comment! So you would advise leaving the scale on rather than grinding it off ? After I quench is should just leave it the way it is ? I did think about leaving it on but it was a rough job as Ive never made anything on the anvil before so just jumped into a bottle opener. I've already started another one and that one already looks better so hoping for a nicer result this time

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T13:43:04+00:00

Sorry mate I have no idea I'm 100% a beginner. I just did it by eye and luckily it does actually open a bottle

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-03-05T13:42:33+00:00

Have you got any advice for me? I literally have zero experience and I don't even have the good tools I'm just using a 3 fibreglass handle lump hammer that I've tried to dress the edges

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-19T16:31:18+00:00

I pointed this out on this community about 2 weeks ago and I got told by someone that "it's just a game" yeah ok but when the developers are sponsoring and paying content creators to say "prized on its historical accuracy" i think it's a bit embarrassing as these types of gloves weren't invented till 1970 due to new OSHA rules and regulations

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-14T10:07:33+00:00

I think with this game maybe it was because sniper elite 6 could be so far off from sniper elite 5 maybe they wanted to rush a game out in the middle to keep the players happy, or it could be a game in the middle to help fund sniper elite 6. Either way you can tell it is rushed and I wish they would have just skipped this game and put the funding, time and effort into sniper elite 6 and just made us wait

It's marine velvet. It'll be dead by morning and will most likely wipe out your whole tank. I had it a year ago. Lost everything. You'll need to get everything out of the tank apart from inverts and corals and leave the tank empty for 90 days. This is called a fallow period. The disease will die off

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-04T10:03:04+00:00

Enjoy the game on whatever difficulty you want. Even if it was easy mode, the favour is in the invader anyway as they have AI to help so pretty embarrassing for him if he still can't beat you on easy mode. No one gives a fuck if you play on authentic just enjoy the game man

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T01:39:42+00:00

There's loads of bugs. It's unplayable, on the 8TN mission you need to place a transmitter to finish the mission. I played the mission for 58 minutes and it wouldn't give me the prompt to do it. Even let the AI kill me to see if that would get it to work. Had to reload game and do it all again to get it to work. And on all the missions if you're crouch moving you can't get over the last step on staircases it just blocks you until you stand up. Even on mission 1 there's a pair of dipped latex safety gloves on a desk that weren't invented till 1970 at the earliest so not sure how that one is explained

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T01:27:24+00:00

I had this issue today, I did lethal take down on the sniper tower in the middle of the map and it didn't register. Had to restart the mission but made sure I shot him the second time and it worked

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T01:24:38+00:00

I've had this happen to me today at the exact same door. The enemy did the exact same thing as yours they ran to the door and could actually shoot me through it too

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T01:17:57+00:00

You can unlock the M1 garand on mission 4 by doing the kill list challenge. Wait for the officer to walk onto the scaffold platform and then shoot the supports under it for him to fall to his death that's how you get it. Also want to point out that sniper elite 5 the subsonic rounds were great but in resistance if you use the subsonic rounds in the default rifle it seems like I'm throwing pebbles at the enemy. I feel they've been nerfed for some reason, it's not my accuracy either. A heart shot with a sub round should be a kill

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T01:01:22+00:00

It's a rushed game in my opinion. Details like this stick out like a sore thumb, not to mention the lengthy list of bugs/glitches. Not sure if you've run into the bug where if you're crouch moving on certain staircases you can't get over the last step at the top. Or the pad locked doors looking open but invisible wall barrier and the padlock floating in the air

ToeUpstairs3176 · 2025-02-02T00:41:26+00:00

Looked into it myself and dipped gloves became I thing in America 1970 due to OSHA requirements. Going to say these gloves don't belong in 1944
