Brut de Forge Mountainmen

It's been a while  due health and time  problems,  i have not  been forging for about 9 months now.
It's great to start again and put some new energy into the steel.
Here some of  the work from last week, i need to get back into the whole feeling but here's some pictures i made.
The first knife is a 'Brut de Forge' Eggerling damascus blade,  i call it the Mountainmen, with a 16th century ships trader coin, a handle from deer bone and a butcap made from abalone shell.
The others are some tryouts to get back into the ritme again.
First knife was a antique screwdriver, the second one i tried to make a machete but it melted  into two pieces when i did not pay attention.




The 3th is a flint steel and bodkin, and the last is a ramshorn flint steel.
