I've been working on expanding my forging skills and that includes forging the guards for my knives. Here's my latest effort (made from a 5/8" rod):

Much of this one I forged around a 1" rod that I had squared off one end and used as a hardy tool.

[I'll have the knife at The Art of Steel Show this weekend if you want a closer look at it.]

Very cool Gary. I like that you're willing to give anything you think of a try.
