Happy Friday Everyone,
Another forged blade with a more significant taper, I'm very happy with this one overall. It's been a while since I've done any real blade forging, lately forging has usually meant drawing stock under the press, and I'm quite enjoying swinging a hammer again and shaping the old fashioned way. Just plain stock removal can get a little tedious.
