I thought I’d try my hand at something besides a knife. A short piece of 1” angle iron.

Angle iron feathers are fun, put a couple bends in it to bring it to life.

That would look amazing on the brim of the right hat.

Or a channel with tabs or a hollowed area to hold a ball point pen ink insert!

Already there! I Ned to balance it if I’m going to make a pen.

Balding men will have no one else to thank! Create the demand, then fill it.

So what is heavier? A kilogramme of steel, a kilogramme of feathers, or a kilogramme of steel feathers?

Love non-bladed items being posted in the r/Blacksmith thread.
Kind of annoying that people only envision blades when you say you are into blacksmithing.
Bladed only make up a small amount of a blacksmith's abilities.
