Hello, I’m new to the forge but already have a lot of experience in metalwork (I’m a gunsmith) Granted a lot of it has been with machinery. I had already made a few blades with stock removal but the finished knife feels just like what it is, a cut piece of metal. A friend and experienced Blacksmith recommended I join the ABS and gifted me a hammer and small anvil. This is my first forged blade and dare I say I may be addicted. They will get better in time
