Man, I'm do love a pure blacksmithing project every now and then. It's like working out a muscle you haven't used in a while.

I got a request for a nice long fire poker, so I figured why not make two!

So I do have one of these available for $150.
It is a few inches short of 5', mild steel, blackened linseed oil finish.

Let me know if you're interested!

By the color of the steel inside the crack, I know that it cracked during the quench. So, no amount of spine softening would have made a difference!

Otherwise, the rest of the grain looks pretty good!

Time to forge a new one!

AVAILABLE. Field and stream knives!

I've wanted to develop some outdoorsman type knives for a while. The show last weekend gave me a reason.

These are all 1/8" thick 1084 knives with canvas micarta scales, black G10 liners, and brass hardware fitted in heirloom style for a touch of elegance.

Skinner is about a 3" blade for $200.
Boning knife is a 5" blade for $225.
Filet is 8" for $250.

Or if you want the whole set, we can work out a deal!
