Bubbly,
When do you cut the haft in.  I assume you have a template for the pattern.  I have much to learn!

I will make a template to start with usually, on these I just drew them out on the steel with some soapstone, they aren't too fancy. If I was going to forge the shape of the knife I would just cut an angle for the tip to reduce the hammer work and cut to tang out, I have bad wrists and try and save as much hammer work as I can

Fun following progress on these. Decided what you're going to use for handle scales?

Pappy the salt melts at the proper heat to quench this type of steel so it is a better indicator of when to quench than a magnet
