i built my forge at the beginning of the dry season and move before the wet season came back. now i'll have to make one of those clay insulated barbecue types.
i now live once more in a residential area where you can only burn in a bbq and only a few days per month.

i'll probably reposition it on the steel i've drawn it out onto, to maximize the size of the scrap i have left over for something like broadhead points. the piece is about 4" overall length.

Canid - we must think alike. I drew this up about 10 minutes before you posted.

i have no idea what kind of steel it is. it was a small piece of plate i found on the side of a rural road. it' was around the same place i found the nice piece of leaf spring i've got standing by for a parang when i'm ready.

I like it too! How thick is the plate? I like the design hinged on 2 fingers! Sweet design!

I'm sure yours will turn out great. As far as luck goes, I've found it is just better to have spare steel for when I mess up.
I can't wait to see these when they are done. It is cool how you can see each knifemakers personal style when making knives. I guess thats why makers love to share with each other.

Speaking of --- I found a knife making club in town that I'll be checking out.
They never have cool stuff like that around here. I know of two other knifemakers around here. One is an hour away and the other is 45 minutes away.

I'd say there are very few with similar interests to mine around here as well. Guess that is why I like the forum cause I sure hate typin'

When I was picking up some leather, the shop owner told me about them. They meet once a month at a loccal Gander Mountain. One (or maybe two) of the guys lets the members come over and use his shop, all the while giving tips. I am looking forward to meeting this group.
i bet; it sound's promising.

There is nothing like watching it in person. It will greatly improve the learning curb. I had alot of help from Don Robinson of Brownsville, TX When I was making a mistake he let me know and didn't sugar coat it either.

My Dad has knapped porcelain from an old toilet lid. Actually comparatively easy to work.
He calls it "johnstone"
I always get a kick out of that
