Hand-forged integral paring knife from rudder bearing

[daizee]

This was a challenging build, as it was my first integral and forged from a very small piece of material - 1/4 of an E/V Nautilus rudder bearing. It's wearing "Ocean Depths" gcarta from GL Hansen&Sons. It's already off to a shipmate.

Heat, smash, repeat!
And oh, you'll still be grinding plenty too!
I am only an egg.
