    That’s no forgery, that looks like original work to me!

    Seriously though thanks for sharing!

    It looks awesome. Did you make a sharpness test?

    Amazing!

    And you didn’t even use a single stick of ram!

    Nice. I took a knife forging class and it was such a cool experience. Your knife looks a lot better than mine though, a lot straighter and smoother. Good job!
