Alright, smiths. It's time to show your work. Take what you've learned here and forge a blade from whatever stock material you have. While I used 1095, you can use whatever you see best. But choose wisely, because if it isn't high carbon steel, you won't have a high quality blade.

Include as much as you can!

Descriptions, pictures, and videos. They are all welcome. But I want to see a fully hardened, heat treated, sharp blade. Include how you hardened it, how you tested it, sharpened it, and most importantly, how you forged it! Even if it was a failure, show me. We can work through challenges and make it right. Make as many blades as you need to in order to get to where you can make a functional product.

Lastly, don't be afraid to post in the discussion board your thoughts. Challenges, successes, and anything else!
