Very cool.. Did you leave the tip squared off just so it wouldn't be
pointy in a bad way? What alloy do you have?


Was thinking of pulling the diagonal down to make a sharp tip actually. I
forget what the blade was, a chisel or something. Probably 1080 or so.

For the next one, pound out some Damascus from steel banding- I think
that'd make a very nice blade.


Haven't had some in a while, but isn't that like 1040-1060 or so? Would at
least need to be carburized then.
