My first attempts at making horse head keychains and a different hairpin finial(was supposed to be a cursive O, but looks more like an orbit pattern)

Tonight’s beating: camp chef knives from rail spring clips, forged mostly to profile and bevels forged in. 1st stage of normalizing done. Also ground an old file into a Wharncliffe EDC

Car axle and jackhammer bit ain’t playing. Nice weather to finally get to the forge though before some more crap comes. Hammer/axe drift + pocketknife

Done with the pre-form on the dagger. Next, more work on the spear side(getting both sides close to finished profiles before severing so I don’t need tongs to forge these).

Started a stabby/choppy today from a piece of coil spring. Still have to stretch some width into the blade and form the handle, but it’s roughly 50% there

Today’s violent artistic cardio: a pair of cobras, and a couple knives(clip point EDC and a karambit in process, both from coil springs)
