Went to a blacksmithing workshop tonight with family and made some stuff. I made the larger of the two knives pictured from a raw chunk of high carbon steel.

The knife was forged using a combination of hand and power tools.

I've got some minor touch up work I want to do before I make the scales for the handle.

This is the third knife I've made... First from raw steel. It's a lot of fun but also a lot of work. I'd highly recommend it if you've got something like this locally. The workshop we did was well suited for all skill levels with helpful instructors.

Also, I couldn't help myself. I bought a sword.

The family doesn't understand why...

I recently started watching Forged In Fire, and it's gotten me curious to do some forge work.

Your knife looks really nice, from this photo. I look forward to a pic when it's finished!

Haha, that's literally what for me into it.

Amazing work! I've been smithing for a few years, love it.

This is so cool! Can't wait to see more!

Very very cool. Right on 🤙
