Inspired by [mention]Phaedros[/mention] and his new creations, I wondered if I can make a steel knife edge buckle. Here is the result. I used a screwed up blank for this test, you can see in the last pic why it's screwed up. This is done free hand so the angles are not really all the same and the edges are not perfectly flat but it's here. I screwed up the tang and it's a little too short but this is just a test...

Not bad at all!

Steel is harder to work with

This is looking fantastic! What a nice buckle... your finishing looks super solid as usual. I still have to work my way up there.

Thanks Emilio.
Steel is a lot harder than brass, my fingers know

Thanks

The finish just looks better than it is with poor quality pics
