Very cool. I want to try my hand at some knife making and I have gathered some of the necessary equipment to do it blacksmith style. I just need a good belt sander and probably a tempering oven.

With his help I trimmed and conditioned my brooks b17 to mimic the swift. Wish I had that saddle still, not to use, but for the nostalgia of working with Dad.
I have seen people do that in the C&V forum. Do you think you can do it again? I have a new copper riveted B17 that could be given some style points with a trim
