    Seeing that no tip knife gave me an idea, I always end up using my knife tip as a terrible screwdriver. Maybe incorporate a flathead/ pry bar instead of a point? Might not be a beautiful shape but I would use it like crazy! Side note, just finished up a day of forging my second wrapped eye axe, made it completely out of 4142 with a 4142 insert for extra blade material. I think you should do a wrapped eye axe from a hardenable steel

    I asked this question before but could you take old blades from old worn or broken pocket knives. Take like 10 of them different sizes and steels then forge weld them together to make a larger blade? Also if you did so would the shape of the blades show after acid etch?
