Another blade project

[J R Green]

Started out with a truck coil spring that was buried on the property when I bought it.
Cut off some rings and put one in the forge and straightened it and then hammered it into a flat bar.
Then tinkered with it a while to see what it wanted to be made into. Thought I would do a Sgain Dubh but then I thought about making a socket just to see if I could.

So now I have a spear head cause that's what it wanted to be. All of this is from forging alone and not grinding.

Then after some time on the grinder I got this.

Still need a quench and some fine grinding.
Stay tuned and see what I figure out for a handle or shaft. Maybe I'll do a leather wrap around the grip.

Still working on the spear head. polished the blade a bit and set a nut in the end to mount it to a shaft. Then made a ball with a bolt through it as a pommel for carrying as a knife.
