My nephew's knife is now mostly done as well. As I mentioned earlier, even an HC spike doesn't have enough carbon in it to make a good knife, but I went ahead and quenched and tempered (to straw) just to make the most out of what carbon it does have.

The tip and a few inches behind that are razor sharp and will shave hair, but the part of the blade closest to the handle isn't quite there yet, so I'll work on it some more tomorrow. I'm going to leave the oil finish on but I may draw file more of a polished surface on the business end of the blade for aesthetics.

Shown is the parent material and the (mostly) finished blade.
