You know I like it. What shape of stock did you start with, Tai?

Thanks guys!

James, I forged it from 3/4 round which was the closest I had in 5160, but I could have done it from 1/2 inch round or square, if I had any. It only took about a 1-1/2 inch length of the 3/4 round stock.

I've worked with 3/4" round 5160 too, and it is amazing how much it can stretch out.
