Got up today and got some forging done, made what I call a double integral knife. An integral knife is one where the pommel, grip, blade, etc are all made of a single piece of steel. I call this one a double integral knife because when viewed vertically, and from the side, it somewhat resembles an integration symbol.
It's a kind of neat knife, made for skinning game, and it should look very cool once I get it filed, ground, and polished to a shine. No clue on how long that's going to take through.
My brother should be dropping by tomorrow to pick up his birthday gift and drop off 4 or 5 gallons of frozen plums. Then I get to figure out how to make plum wine. Should be fun.
