first own forged knife

[NoName]

my first forged knife
it was an old sheffield chissel (maybe not the best choice of steel ?)
handle taxus, with nice black dots (baby branches), linseed oil finish
hand grind

Wow! I love the raw look of that steel, please don't polish that blade Great work Mors!

thank you Wacker! the convex edge has a mirror finish which contrasts really nice with the raw look . So you are so right, I won't be polishing that
thank you for your comment.

Wow Mors, is there anything you can't put your hand to? I keep seeing all your threads thinking "he's not done that as well!"

Very nice.

Well done, lets hope it will be a well used as well

Nothing at all wrong with the steel in an old Sheffield chisel, and that's a nice upcycle you've done there

Wow! I really like that! With a handy sheath that knife would be the perfect edc. I'm thinking you've been bitten by the forge bug and there will be more to come. Nice work!
