Well after reading all about blacksmithing and getting instructions off the internet for heat treating and all that, me and my dad made a hatchet out of a leaf spring. Dont laugh..I know its kinda rough but its our first attempt.
It's roughly modeled after this one from Busse Combat http://www.zvis.com/knives/knimgtmpl.shtml?/images/knives/fix/bck/busseph1.jpg
Theres no finish on it right now, what would you guys recommend using for a durable finish. I was thinking maybe gun blue but I dont know if that will hold up. Or maybe I will just leave it bare and keep it well oiled.
Suggestions appreciated
