RE: Blacksmithing at home part 3: my apron, my first knife and tongs

I would say very good first job. if I can suggest ... much higher bevel, ricasso closer to the handle, an extra pin closer to the cutting edge otherwise the handle can open.

You are right in all points, I only noticed them too late 😂. As for the bevel, I did that one on purpose though, I wanted this geometry for strength as I will use it for some wood carving where I need to split a flat area of the surface of the wood. But this might not work as it could not bite deep enough, will see
