First forge knife

[Indi]

Hi all,

Like a virgin, forge for the first time...ooo (song of Madonna is in my head), sorry!
By the way, last sonday I went to a workshop for knife forging. Before I went to this workshop, I had a knife design, but it's harder than I though. Well this is the result of one day forging.

It made from Carbon steel, differencial water harden, 10 cm blade and total 22 cm with paracord handle.

Any comments are welcome.

That looks like a good functional knife. Probably could be used as a skinning knife, I like forged blades, they remind me of the urukhai from Lord of the Rings!

Will you be making any more and have you posted this on British Blades too? I'm sure they'd like to see it.

Looks nice, definitely would make a good skinner. Was the steel something else in a previous life?

@Singeblister: If you mean this one http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23042 than it is mine

@demographic: thats it, now I know the name. Thanks.

To be honest, I don't know for sure, but I guess it was leaf spring, the bar was crooked.
