I wanted to try forging stainless steel, used 440C which has higher carbon content than most.

Forging tapers by hand was definitely harder than carbon steel, just took longer and more hammering.

Has curly maple and walnut grips, with brass bolster and pins.

Blade etching the logo is done with ferric chloride and electrical charge, it eats away the steel using a template

Making tools, knives, and hardware for yourself or others is damn enjoyable

Nicely done, I'm a knife enthusiast myself. Nice job on the jimping too!

Why the odd shape? What purpose.

Gorgeous, reminds me of a knife my uncle gave me. Keep up the good work

I see something that would be illegal in England!
