Hey Grant,
HELL of a job! I'm impressed with your ingenuity, drive, and "eye" for what looks good.
I've but one suggestion for you. When you quench your steel, don't hold your head over the oil or water that you're using. I used to forge a lot of knives and have had the oil catch fire and flare up.
Keep up the great work and keep us posted.

Those are going to be bad a$$
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Awesome work baldy!
Can I ask what you used to make your forge? I'd love to do this sort of thing later down the track, right now i'm focusing on learning how to hone/restore but one day I will post pics like these hopefully. =] can't wait to see some updated pics

The kitty litter mix was much better. It was still nicely intact after the last heat treat session.
