Sure thing. First I gather the steel, a good old wrought iron and some high carbon. I let it sit in a low‑heat furnace until it’s just a warm glow, then I hammer it into shape, keeping the edges true. I temper it slowly, so it doesn’t crack, and then polish the blade by hand with a grit pad that I make myself. I add a simple leather grip and a forged guard, something sturdy and timeless. I finish it with a coat of oil to keep rust at bay. That’s the whole cycle—no fancy gadgets, just heat, hammer and patience. If you want to test its edge, go ahead.

Alright, I’ll show you what I can do. I take a piece of high‑carbon steel, let it chill in a low‑heat furnace until it’s a steady warm glow, then I hammer it in the forge until it’s the right length and shape. I’ll keep the temper slow, letting it cool in a controlled way, and then I’ll test the edge on a piece of wood. If it snaps, I’ll reheat a bit more, re‑temper, and repeat until the snap test passes. I’ll polish the blade with a series of grit pads, ending with a fine stone that makes the metal reflect like a mirror. Once it’s true and sharp, I’ll apply a coat of oil to protect it. If it still can’t handle a simple snap test, I’ll go back to the forge, refine the heat treatment, and keep hammering until it sings. That’s how I make a blade that respects tradition and can stand up to the future.
