Hey ABS friends!
I did this video in preparation for my "Off the Grid" no electricity knifemaking class. This guard is mild steel. While it won't be for every esthetic, I think they look great of a forge finish knife! Hope you enjoy!

I'm gonna do one. Fair warning Nick. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
That really appeals to me.
I like it! I noticed that you were placing what appeared to be chunks of carbon in the hole as you punched it. Would you mind elaborating?
Thanks,
Gary
Don't mean to butt in but I believe its coal dust to keep the punch from sticking.
Very cool Nick!

Thanks, Lin. I assumed that it was for lubrication but hadn't seen that done and had to ask.

Great video!
