Hi,
So had a go at forging a knife and also stock removal. The forging metal was from a bearing and the stock was a piece of 3mm O1 I got from beneath the stars.
Bear in mind, this is my first go, but any feedback is welcome
I have ground down both knives now with bevels (one is based on hillbills eagle) I hope the're not too thin and won't crack during heat treat anyway to pictures!

As an after note, the nessmuk style knife naturally curved up so I thought I would just run with it!
Feedback/suggestions most welcome
Thanks for looking!
