A blade I forged and quenched about a year ago. It is now a knife. It's not stone shaped but belt work and sanded to a semi-miror finish. The quenching line reveal some cool little details. It's quite a strong blade, workhorse style with a thin tip. The handle is removable with a pin, allowing to access the tang where signature is stamped.
