This is another blade I made at the Texas meet. It was forged to its final size, and meant to be used without handles. The blade had some fatigue cracks in the body due to me forging it a bit too cold at one point, but structurally it was ok and I finished it as a shop knife.
Before I gave it away I decided to test it on a piece of hardwood that was just lying around in the scrap bin.
