Nice, I have never seen a guard like that before.

~arvin2009 Jul 28, 2010

this is so cool!!!!!!!!!! could you let me in on how to do that? I'm just starting up as a smith and would love to be able to do that

~sstheblacksmith Sep 2, 2010

you forge your taper square, then break the corners lightly, then chisel a groove centered on each of the 4 faces then twist.

Nice I am a Fan of the technique

Ho damn, sir. I am impressed. I need to get to forging. Oh wait, it's monsoon season. Nevermind.

Seriously though, VERY nice. I rarely see such even twists on forged work.
