...and this came out. Kai helped a bit with the grinding, but Levin forged it out all by himself with no tutoring whatsoever. The shape was intended, for it shall be a knife to process herbs and the like. It´s forged from spring steel.
Can do with some sharpening still, but that achievement makes me proud, for we forged his first knife together. That he took to forging is great. I look forward to further forging sessions.:-)
Check out his blog, which is in German, but incorporates poetry, photography, and from now on, bushcraft, too.
Sláinte, Levin!
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
