Very basic, nothing special here. I posted about a Fish brain spike a little while back. Next one I'll do some reverse twists so it doesn't look like a pointed drill bit with a handle.

The start to my fishing brain/kill spike I posted about recently. I may also do one with a reverse twist but figured the normal twist would have better functionality. It's a very simple project but I'd appreciate any feedback or ideas.

I mostly make knives and I'm still a beginner at smithing but I've been requested to make a spike for fishing. I have dremel drum sanding bits from 80 to 600 grit but what would be the best way to clean the scale out of the twist for polishing? Any tips or tricks?

Quick question. Does stone washing work well on just 15N20? I'm trying to use up scraps to make a few work knives and it's either 1/8 15N20 or 9/32 O1 tool steel. I know stone washing works well with O1 but no clue about 15N20.

Order arrived today. I know what camo kydex I ordered but apparently they don't want me to forget. Maybe the black kydex says black but I can't see it cuz it's written in black 🤔.

I needed this win. This week my chop saw decided to self destruct, I've been working through a mild but irritating cold, and my gas forge went down while I struggled to find parts. No cracks, no warp. The knife Gods have bestowed mercy upon me. She's in for the temper now.
