Well, this is a first.
My plan for this day off was to build a couple knives, one for me and one to help finance a new gun. Now it looks like only one will get completed today.
I had just quenched this blade to harden. It was sitting on the bench when it happened. I picked up my small homemade anvil, an old cast steel iron and dropped it. Imagine the horror as I watched it fall in slow motion onto the hardened blade. Broke like glass. So...........had to make another. It is now safely sitting on the bench after being hardened AND Tempered!
