    Default My first "custom"

    This was my first cut at making my own blade on the new grinder. I used 1/4" carbon stock. Heat-treated it myself in a homemade forge.

    Let's say I learned a LOT on this project. I haven't honed it yet, so I'm not sure it'll take an edge. The steel seemed to have hardened properly, though, so I'm optimistic.

    I was eager to see how it'll hone up so I didn't try to completely finish the tang. I need to get a buffer and some finishing belts.

    More to come.

    Josh
