O.K., don't laugh (yet, at least) all knives look like this after forging and before you start cleaning them up. I got a chance to do a little forging this afternoon and tried my hand at a khukri. The only stock I had on hand was a little on the small side so I tried for a narrow blade. Man my arms and shoulders are going to be killing me! If I'm going to make more of these then I need a power hammer or at least a couple of guys swinging sledges!

It should look better when I get a chance to start cleaning it up with files. Watch out for the next one, I know what to expect now!
