Hey Ed, here are some pictures of the knife I forged from 1/4"x1" 5160 stock that you helped me get the triple heat treat steps figured out:

And here is a not so good close up of the seahorse filework:

Guy, I really like the Seahorse pattern. Could you post a few more pics from some different angles? I'd like to try my hand at this pattern. Thanks! James Taylor.

Thanks for the compliments! James, I can come up with a step by step for the seahorses, but I just did them freehand making measurements against some that I had filed in scrap. I used a small round chain saw file and a small triangle shaped file. the cuts are simple and I used some small jewelers files for clean up.
