Thinking about starting
to forge
Hey guys I am thinking about starting to forge for the first time and was wondering how hard it is. More than likely I will just forge some 52100 for pocket knife blades at first. I have some 1/8 thick bars and was wondering how hard it would be to forge them down to 3/32 or if it is even possible. Always done stock removal and not wanting to beat the blade shape out just get them to the thickness I want and then I will grind them. Thanks for any help and hope everyone has a safe and wonderful new year.
