Spears work apparently.

A full forge day later, so far successful spears and Cutlass sorta thing. Many hours to go. Used leaf spring on these.

Couple coats of Shaker pine oil based stain on things. Really enjoying the contrast it brings. Still have to clean up a little excess epoxy, then finish sharpening. Also featuring a forged from spring steel blade with antler handle. Lots to do on that.

Solid progress on the friction folder. Blade is shovel cut and mildly forged to shape. Oak scales.

05/13/2026

About 8 hrs later, ready for glue up, then shaping, sharpening, and sheaths. Also marks the return of friction folders. Have missed making them and the challenges they present. No glue needed is also a plus in my book. Stay tuned and stay safe.

Bit more progress, loads to go. That's all, carry on.
