Default First Stick Tang from the backyard forge

Finished the blade now, 3x21mm Blade, edge length 106mm, overall length 179mm, high grind very slightly convexed and nice and sharp, slices paper well.



Rounded off a small section of the spine for thumb cuts when carving. Makers mark to sort then I'll crack on with the next one.
