Hello everybody.
First of all, I would like to introduce myself and hope this is the right way to do it with creating a thread in this place and show some pictures of my work.
My name is Kilian Kreutz and I come from Germany, living in a small village in an area called "Sauerland".
In the age of 12 years I forged my first arrowhead, heating the steel in a small forge my father bought and shaping the steel on an old anvil from my great grandfather.
From this moment on I knew what I want to become - "a blacksmith".
I finished my education in the year 2006 and completed it with the qualification to a master craftsman in 2008. Since then I have my own forge and work self-employed.
And now I would like to show you some of my knifes.
Here is one I forged in the year 2016.
The knife in the pictures has about following dimensions:
Lenghts over all: 246 mm
Blade length: 136 mm
Handle lenght: 110 mm
Thanks for watching!
Best regards,
Kilian
ps: Please excuse my not perfect englisch.
