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).
