I know a man who makes nice knives from old railroad spikes,,,
After forge heating the metal to a bright reddish glow,,,
He hammers them down to an approximate shape,,,
Then goes to town with the sander and stones.
Other knives he makes start out as flat stock steel,,,
Then they get the sander and stones.
What is the correct name for each type of blade?
Is one inherently better than the other?
I have an inquiring mind,,,
And I really would like to know.
Thanks in advance,,,
