That's a pretty dope first effort!
Thanks, it was a blast! The knife works great. I learned a ton and am tempted to set up a cheap forge in my garage.
Where did you make this one? Did you take a class, or find a blacksmith willing to tutor you, or what?
I took a class at Stryker Forge in Port Townsend, WA, USA. Guy’s actual name is Stryker Gooch and he won an episode of Forged in Fire, which is how I found him.

Cool! Do you have plans for what else you want to make?
I love knives so probably just lots of knives 🤭
