    Forging a knife from an old bearing ring sounds much more poetic than forging a knife from brand new steel. The first is art, the second is manufacturing!

      This is some beautiful work but the end of the handle seems to take an upsweep. To my eye it should be rolled over. The end flared down relative to and in line with the edge. Nit picking I suppose but still, the craftsmanship is great and I really enjoyed watching.
