Close - it's a propane forge set up in the garage.
It was all hammered by hand, and since this was my first attempt, several welds didn't take so I have to split it apart, clean it up, and try again. I started with this:
Which became this after the first weld.
From that original material, I ended up with enough steel to make two knives about the size of the one pictured here. Unfortunately I lost a lot of material along the way cleaning up edges, grinding out cold shuts, and other rookie mistakes. Hopefully the next attempt will be quite a bit more efficient.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
