Ah back to 100 % perfect again!
Hi SevedGreat as always Do you start with O1 bar stock?I recently found one 20mm K460 round bar for sale locally, very difficult steel to forge, either too hot or too cold, but I did get one blade forged.Problem being when I started with the shaping I found out it had air hardened a bit, and now it's too hard for my files.....
A very nice looking handle for that wicked awesome looking blade
Very nice !

Hi 😊Yes it has air hardend. Its seems like a tuff steel to forge. Heat it to around 750 C and let it cool down slowly. Use sand, vermaculit or some isolation material to put it in. Then it should be soft. But that steel looks hard to grind and fil. Seved
