I'll post up some bush knives and such, but in the meantime...

Not a blade but you don't forge a blade without one.

After forging the flats, punching the handle hole w/ 10 pound maul...





Hole punched, next step the drift {widening the hole}...



Hole drifted...



After normalizing, reheating, the quench...





Pickling...



Hafted and ready to go. 4 1/2 pound head...
