Well after the ICCE show I got motivated to get back at my first forged knife. This was like learning knife making all over again. I finished grinding the bevels in today and man its a lot different grinding a blade you have forged the bevels already into.
I went with this style knife so I could get a good idea on how to move the metal. I did make a lot of mistakes. One was letting it get to cool when I did the handle twist and result have a small crack in it.
This started out as a 1/4" by 1" piece of flat bar of 1084.
I will try and get more pics after I sharpen and make the sheath I got giddy and had to share some pics.

You can see in this photo my grind got a little away from me but I wanted to leave the forged finish on the part between the bevel and swedge.

Anyway thanks for looking and all critique and comments are welcome, I'm still learning this game
