Any blacksmiths here?

Well, here was my first attempt at a railroad spike knife. It was a good introduction to shaping metal, and I learned a little bit. The forge was just thrown together with paver bricks and a propane weed burner. Worked great, but used some fuel.

Haven't ground a bevel on the blade yet so it's more of a butter knife right now.
