I was beginning to think you were making a seax knife till you put the drop on it. Nice work

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out, it looked a lot like one for awhile.

Nice work. I have the same anvil and it's great. NC Tool makes quality anvils.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! They sure do, Im glad to be using this one again. I appreciate you watching!

[@WildHuntKnives]

Nice work! I like that your process differs from mine. Id have started out with a piece of like 1x6 spring, forged a preform, then used the cross peen to draw it out and widen it. Well done.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I do it that way as well most times when forging, then there are times I like to try different ways just to try different techniques out and see what the end result is. I appreciate you watching!

[@WildHuntKnives]

@@Mysticmountainforge I try different ways too. Never know when you'll stumble upon am easier or more efficient way of getting it done

[@Anderson-HandForged]

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I'm going to have to watch this video again... every time I think I've figured out which side the blade is... I'm wrong🤔
Its crazy how difficult this has been for me in my shop.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I was hoping to have a part 2 video out on this and have it finished up but my grinder motor burned up, the new one will be here soon and I will jump back on it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

Very unpleasant to watch with headphones/earbuds 🎧
Couldn’t finish the video.
Maybe you could put a magnet 🧲
on your anvil or try editing out the high pitched ringing sound?

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks for the heads up, I have a chain on it but that obviously isn't helping, I will put a magnet on it for sure, I appreciate you watching and letting me know.
