I was going to pull it out from annealing but, it was still hot. Maybe tomorrow.
I've just started vacation but, the honey-do list is pretty long. We'll see.

Well - aren't you the big tease.
Can't wait to see it. I love the way raspy knives look.

I found a little time to work on this project so, I fired up the forge. Here are some pics after a little hammering. Do you have any suggestions for a blade style?

Looks like a great start. As far as blade style - it looks like it's going to have a big belly - me likey.
I wanted to thin the blade with out grinding / sanding. I kind of like the hammered look too. I can cut and shape to most any design.

I'll call it the mirror knife.
Your the artist...you pick the blade style! I like the hammer marks also on some forged knives. Can't wait to see the finished knife!
I don't know,but when I looked It seemed to be lending itself to a Nessmuk design. Sort of anyway.
Slowly but Shirley (that's for rick).

You've got a good start on a skinner. Nessmuk, you would have to beat it a lot more. Clip the back of the tip and you got the shape of a Buck skinner or a Green River.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
to fight... he'll just kill you.
Shirley that's gonna be a good lookin' knife. Love the scales (rasps) left on it. Sort of looks like snake scales. You could name the knife Awanyu. It's a serpent that is guardian of the water in Tewa culture.

It's starting to take it's shape with the rough sanding. I'm thinking about some homemade scales.

I Wonder Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out?"
