Probably not going to make a major shift here, but had a chance to take a first new step with ABS Journeyman Jerry Van Eizenga, sooooo. Gonna be a while before pic of next step. From 52100 bar stock. ![[Linked Image]](http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n273/tolt29/DSCI0456_zps21fe5f65.jpg) Tim

Interesting stuff Tim. Always wanted to learn to forge Damascus. Rick has a friend who forges damascus and we were gonna learn that process but we had so much on our plate last trip up that we didn't get time. One of these days that will be on the agenda as I always thought it would be worthwhile to learn even if just for the understanding. Will be watching to see how you progress.

Glad to see you having some fun.

Being my first, they ended up a little different than I had in mind.
The skinner got a little longer and thinner.
The hunter had a crack near the tip, so it ended up shorter.
Both will get field tested this year.

I like a short blade. They both look mighty fine.

That top one looks like it will just peel the hide back by looking at it.

Looks like an old mountain man's knife, but a high toned one from St. Looey. It'll still take a scalp though.
