Hello All,
Here's another recent forging experiment of mine, a 215mm WH. Originally I laid it out to be cut with a RH bias.....but honestly I think the blade cupped during HT and it's consequently a lefty....though I think it could be used with decent results by someone with either hand. It's not as tall as the last WH I posted, so it's not quite as thin BTE. My apologies for the blur in a couple of pictures, my hands just have a natural shake to them and it's more severe than usual today.
Thanks for taking a look!
