I picked up two new pieces. One, a Cattaraugus 225Q. Stout knife, 1095 steel I think, 3 oz. heavier than a Ka-Bar and with only a 6 in. blade. Leather washer handle in good shape and a 3 steel washer pommel. Shaving sharp with a little work. The other is an H & B Forge Goshawk with the beard cut down from 3.75 in. to 3 in. to save weight. A long 24 in. handle and a polled bit with a strong leather cover. Produced with a 100 year old, would it be called hydraulic or a hydraulic/air hammer? CNC machines and water jets have their place, but I love the look of forging.
