First forged full tang. updated

[kristophish]

I tend to forge stick or mainly hidden tang knives but thought it was about time to have a go at a full tang.

Forged from a farriers rasp.

Needs some refining but nearly there

Cheers for looking

Very nice to see, kristophish! I would so like to try working with metal myself, and have already spent hours and hours researching. What do you think of the forges made from a steel kitchen sink and cement capable of handling the heat?

Thanks dude. Im sure it would work. The first forge i made was the bbq and just stood blowing a hair dryer on the coals

Refined the forging a bit. Annealed,normalized and the flats have been roughly filed
