Hear me take the Great Ones name in vain after accidentally making cast iron. Chill, Bro-D. Nah worry. Despite bogus advice from Home Depot about the wood filler they sold me we get this diggity done in the end. So sit back and lets make suitable knife steel out of an old wagon wheel rim then forge handle pins and fashion a handle from the wheel spoke all in the name of making a 19th century, cartouche style, frontier, trade knife. The blade is etched and knife left rough to make it appear aged. Lets talk about Sheffield. Lets talk about blister steel. Lets talk about the knives that settled the American West (and Canada)!\r
