Kitchen knife

This is the first knife I ever made. It's a thin kitchen knife that's been produced at camp, in a temporary field blacksmith workshop. It's been shaped, filed, normalized, hardened, tempered and sharpened. In one spot the tempering was overdone over the edge of the knife, and each time it's sharpened this is noticable.

The handle was burnt on to the tong of the knife with a false tong and has been stuck for years. It's a good knife, and I'm particulary pleased with the way you could distribute weight at the blade from the "knuckle" of the rounded thick end of the blade since I made careful adjustments for this to be convenient.

On the other side of the handle my owners mark could be seen.
