Thanks guys ;D I got some grinding done today tomorrow I go back to work but hopefully I can do some hand sanding and heat treat in the afternoon.
The "half round" item is a bit of coil spring that became the plain neck knife on the left(which hasn't been claimed yet O:))
And so long as you don't drop anything forging bare foot isn't a problem, but if you do you better have quick feet ;D

Looking good.  I'm also a fan of drop points.  The middle one would make a great deer skinner.

Very nice Dylan, I really like the small one on the bottom. When I was a kid we went all summer barefooted. I could walk over anything. Afraid I'm a tenderfoot now.lol.

Got some more work done on these, sharpened and made temporary paper sheaths for them.
The skinner and the curlyque neck knife are ready to be mailed to pat B
And the plain neck knife I'm going to finish  ;D



Now what wood should I use on it? I've got blood wood and some honeysuckle burl.

Did you ever do both on one knife?
Nice work on the metal.
