I have a piece of 30 inch 1075 steel that I will practice large heat treatment with. It is about a 1/4 inch thick and about an 1 1/2 inch wide. I will try to forge a Decurio style gladius, I will use rosewood for the handle and perhaps some bone. I have also almost completed work on a simple hunting knife. the knife is special because the wood is local burl that I dug out of the ground myself, it has some beautiful bird's eyes.
