Gary Miller Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2015 #3 great work Tai. those are my favorite knives to make. hope to get in the shop soon.
Stormcrow Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2015 #4 You know I like it. What shape of stock did you start with, Tai?
One Banned Dec 10, 2015 #5 Thanks guys! James, I forged it from 3/4 round which was the closest I had in 5160, but I could have done it from 1/2 inch round or square, if I had any. It only took about a 1-1/2 inch length of the 3/4 round stock.
