“Made in China”

5 October 2014-

Did I ever share with you photos of the knife *I* made????

No???

Check out this "beauty" I created by using Mark's forge and beating the snot out of some hot metal.  (and then Mark helped grind it into a more knife-like shape and sharpness.)

 The inner curve is the sharp side (it's meant to be a pairing knife).  The blade isn't quite even and it isn't the most user-friendly of knives but it does stay sharp (and it also rusts easily since it's not made of stainless steel.)

I named it after Sting (the blade/dagger from "Lord of the Rings")IMG_7336

I'm not sure if I'll make any more of these.  Metal and forge work doesn't seem to be my cup of tea but I thought I'd give it a try.
