Amazing effort and seriousness you put into this project! I did think about learning to make my own knife but never got round to that. You are doing things that I wished I had done a long time ago.
This is really exciting following your progress in the project!
Good luck!
It's more difficult than working with wood.
Thanks
Of course!! In old films, blacksmith was very heavily built, tall and always sweaty standing in front of the hot furnace!
You’ll lose some weight!
