I forged a paring knife, what I had left over I made a small Kiridashi blade. It was a fun build. Great job on those knives, they look great!!

Thank you very much. I’ve made lots of paring knives for customers, but every time I’ve tried to make one for my household I manage to make a mess of it. I guess we’re destined to continue to use the Chinese crapmascus paring knives for the time being.

It was of value to me that you mentioned that a small knife does not necessary mean its cheaper. It makes good sense.

Thank you sir! Small knives take just as much labor and sometimes more aggravation!

Small knives are way more useful than large knives whens the last time you skined a deer with a 10 inch bowie. For that matter a 6 in. Knife most of the time 3½ to 4 inches works best.

Absolutely right. I’ve skinned many a critter with the 2 1/2 inch blade on an ‘Old Timer’ pocket knife.

I like small blades better myself. Much more useful to me as a hunter and outdoorsman. If I want to chop a tree down I get something bigger.

I agree 100%. My favorite skinner has a 2 inch blade. I can zip through a deer in a hurry and never have to even think about punching a gut or cutting a tendon because the short blade is so precise.

@@serendipityforge333 well, suppose I don't really have a method. One video mentioned to forge the edges first and then the middle so I've been trying to do that. I'm wondering if I should be trying to kind if fuller the middle of the handle kind of like they do on a tapered tang? The last tapered tang I tried, I accidently ground into the forge scale I was trying to keep because one side of the handle was thicker than the other so the other side rode up the blade quicker. Any tips would be appreciated. I've been forging for 3 years and still can't seem to get this part. Classes in my area are all for beginners and too expensive. Just feeling lost and get discouraged I suppose.
