Excellent video Kevin, and Dan thank you for posting this. Great advice on forging a difficult blade. One thing I will add, take your time and think about what you are doing with your hammer. Don't try to forge it as fast as possible. If you are worried about grain growth at high temps, you can always change the grain size through good thermal cycling. This is not a speed contest. As you get better at forging these you will get faster.
Thanks again Dan and Kevin.
