Forging ahead

After working as a volunteer for Smederij Atelier Alkmaar at the DKE (Dutch Knife Expo) i had some new inspiration.
The Expo was great, the workshops were busy and we had a real good day.
In this period a made some new things, tested different materials/shapes and mostly i had allot of fun.
I made a 'Brut de Forge' outdoor chef knife for a customer and my second axe.
The passion for Bushcraft and forging comes here together  by making knives and axes:)
Take care Igor

After quencing i forgot to soften the blade and broke it with the stress test

Started this order for a chef, a outdoor kitchen knife, ModifiedCM60 steel.

Finished product, with Desert Ironwood burl  handle, silver/nickle pin and silver dutch coin.

The silver coin is a 2,5  dutch guilder from 1939.

'Brut de Forge' mini bushcrafter

A 'Brute de Forge' mini Bushcrafter and a small Tomahawk/double side axe.

Made a Poplar handle and broke it after testing, so i  made a new one from Beech.

It's my second forged axe and not the last one.

I did not make these two viking axes, bought them on the DKE!

And made another Beech handle
