Thats cool Ive always wanted to build a primitive forge and make knives like that . So is that the finished product ? You going to put a handle on it ? Re-shape the blade ? Details man !

That's what I was thinking. He made the best knives in the World! The guy worked 28 hours a day and lived in a mansion. And to the OP, that is cool. But it would be cooler if you were able to take a knife and make a bolt out of it.

This looks precisely like I imagine a knife I would try to make would look.

Nice job. I would have no idea how to do that. I hope that when I go to prison you and I are cell mates.
