Having watched Forged in Fire for a couple of years now, I decided I needed to make a knife (Its in him, and its gotta come out)
But I ended up with a "Thats not a knife" kind of knife.
The blade is 8670 steel, 3/16" thick x 2 1/2" wide. The guard is solid brass (I used the router table and a straight cutter to finish the slot that the blade fit through.)
The scales are bubinga with maple backing, held in with epoxy and three brass pins.
The blade is 12 3/4" total weight is 2 1/2lb (1.1 kg)
Lots of minor blemishes to work through yet before final polishing, and I think I might black the blade and leave the edge bare.
