      Do it. I started with only 40 bucks in tools. A rail road track ( or any large bit of steel to forge on. Or even a tree stump) a pipe, a hair dryer and a bit of wood. Oh and an angle grinder makes things easier.

    Really cool! I've tried it the other way around. Forging the pyramids and grinding flat. Cool to see it done this way. The pattern would have carried through if you forged the bevels even a little bit, but it looks great breaking up the pattern toward the edge.

    • @lewgriffinknives216
      @lewgriffinknives216  23 дні тому

    It turned out beautifully but one thing I'm not a fan of is that there's no machanical conection between the blade and the handle (peening, riveting, etc...) So it will likely serve better as a display item rather than a cutter. No discredit to the maker, absolutely stunning work and I love the pattern.

    Am I a total moron for thinking this, or is it some kind of waste material from the steel ?
