I've got this massive piece of S7, went to fire it, only to discover it has a HOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE LENGTH!
I have no power hammer. Just a breaker sledge and big arms. Trust it to forge weld as I draw it out? By the time I stretch it into a knife blade, will the hole even still exist? Maybe forge it side ways rather than long ways?
What even is this fuckin thing, and how do I mount it? $115 US at the flea market.
Not much of a smithing job on this one, unless you count the heat treat and shaping the bolster. My first hidden tang, dedicated skinning knife. All friction fit, no glue, no pins. Enjoyed the wood work more than I expected to.
Almost finished with the Chef's knife, the wife calls these scales she made "Chaos Scales" so I'm calling it the Kaos Kitchen set. These are knives 003, 004 and 005. Want to try to sell them. What do you think I should price them at?
