Cool anvil! Mine is a 98 lb block of 4140 I got from the local steel yard . It works for me. And I built my own propane forge , just got it going recently as well as my new shop. New subscriber here 🙂

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks and welcome aboard! That is awesome, I have always wanted to build my own forge, hopefully one day I will get a chance. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

@@Mysticmountainforge have you seen or heard of a channel called GS tongs? Glenn is his name and I believe he has the most unique style of blacksmithing. He runs outta Taiwan. 👍

What type of anvil is the one you use? Great looking blade profile.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I use a NC tool cavalry anvil, thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@burlshepherd44]

Can you post the link for the pattern

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I free hand draw all of my patterns, but you can probably find some good ones by searching free hidden tang knife patterns on google. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@burlshepherd44]

Awesome man, you make very good videos, I really enjoy watching them.

[@stardusk1726]

But doesn't hammering on Damascus or San mai alter or change the design of the pattern, wouldn't have been smarter to forge the tang and cut out the blade

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Yes it does, the pattern in this Damascus is a random pattern over a 1084 core so it actually will help make it more interesting, if I were doing it from a billet of ladder pattern or some mosaic Damascus I would have cut in a pre form and finished the blade via stock removal. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
