keeping it simple-part 1

So the kids are growing and needing their daddy a lot. That in addition to the family situation mentioned previously means any smithing takes a back burner. Of course, then the desire builds up to bursting and you get a little smithing fever. With my time constraints I only had a few minutes, but desperately needed to do something so I slapped a little utility knife together. And ended up being quite pleased with it.

Here are some blanks cut out with angle grinder using cutoff discs.



A little bit of precurve before forging the bevels.



Some quick and dirty forging.



A little clean up with the file.



Decided to add in a lanyard hole.



Quench went well.
