I forged another knife…

[Frosty]

And I don’t like it Plunges are all screwed up, bevels aren’t even so what to do but destroy it!
Before
After
The trash can chop

Battoning(sp?) through a piece of maple limb with a 3 pound hammer
3/16” brass rod chop

And the brick chop, about 10 hits on it.

The kick is it still cuts pretty good!

looks like it works great

Yeah, I’m honestly a little surprised how well it held an edge. If I could figure out how to post a video I’d throw a couple up of it slicing paper after all that.

I say put a handle on it and call it done. It clearly gets the job done. It doesn't have to be a beauty queen.

I’ll be eliminated before the first round is even over!

You really hate your trash cans.

I say give it a little more of a drop point, redo the edge, put some G10 or wood grips on it and mail it to me.

I will promise to never tell anyone who made it if you want.

I was thinking the same thing! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally would prefer a knife someone doesn't like but takes a beating and keeps on cutting. Good job OP.

It will keel.

sounds like a great truck knife! Not pretty, but will definitely get the job done.
