Title: Had a fun day yesterday
Post by: Pine on February 16, 2023, 05:53:15 PM: My wife and I went to Frankenmuth Michigan yesterday and found a Blacksmith who would help you make a knife by forging.
I desided to make a knife from a railroad spike.

If you get the chance, you should do this.

What I use them for is making Oyster shucking knives. Also, I made one to look like a railroad spike from some round stock high carbon steel with a good edge...tippit
