Almost all the knives and tomahawks I make are hand forged. The first step is to think through the design details before heating the metal or striking a blow.
The next step is to hand forge the blade from a blank of the selected steel.
Here is the finished forging, and a steel blank of the size it was made from.
After the forging comes hours of grinding, polishing, edge hardening, fitting, and finishing.
Here is the finished knife, made from the forging you saw in the pictures above. |
