Blacksmith Knife Creation

Alt text: 
Six handcrafted forged steel knives are arranged in a row on a weathered wooden tabletop, ordered from largest in the foreground to smallest in the background. Each knife features a dark metal blade and an integrated looped handle with a rustic, hammered finish. The blades vary in shape and size, showcasing different stages or styles of blacksmithing craftsmanship. The wood surface has visible grain, scratches, and a faded painted line running beneath the knives.Instructor: Bill Weinert
