Looks like you two have such a good time, her work is great. I do worry about Darci not wearing eye protection when she was working on the belt grinder.

+1 on the eye protection.

Don't let her stop now, you two will continue to have a great time and forge a stronger father daughter bond. :D

Great looking knife so far, please continue as a WIP through to completion of her first forged blade. cool 1
 
Go Darci, Go Darci! Show your Daddy a one-up! That's great! Tapered gives a very nice professional look to a blade.
