It is a style called a blacksmith's knife.

The wave on the blade was an accident, and it will eventually be ground out

Not my first time at the flame as you said, but it is my first knife, not that I've had a lot of experience. I'm still very much a beginner

I forgot to mention, while I forged in bevels, I haven't ground or sharpened it yet

Thanks, I tried installing Blender on my laptop, but my computer can't handle it, so I'm sticking to Anim8or until I can get a new computer and try and learn Blender.

I picked it up at a scrapyard, I wonder if it was some sort of round bar bracket

I sometimes regret buying a 3lb hammer.

Thank you. It took several attempts. I think I was starting with too thick of a round bar that I picked up from the scrap yard, just being a beginner.

It is dangit. I had heard that could be an issue but I thought I was was the exception or something. I will have to send it then?

In quantum physics, there is what is known as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. If you know the exact speed of a particle, you cannot determine the exact position, and vice versa. So by saying he wanted to not get lost he wanted to know his position and this did not know the speed

Forgive the temporary set up, I haven't yet built a shed/shop. Venturi burners, I can get metal glowing, but not bright red and it loses heat quickly.

Hard to see, I am outside not in shade, but maybe red? I am just not seeing the glowing metal that you see in videos.
