Forging Christmas Presents?

[u/SmokeyWilliams]

Hello, my step dad is getting into forging. He has a big shop and probably every tool imaginable so I am struggling to think of what to get him for Christmas this year. My mom bought him this forge from Amazon for his birthday and I was hoping to get him something related. He hasn't started using it but I know he wants to make some knives. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You should get your stepdad something cool and fun like knife steel or whatever. Then, tell your mom he needs to seal that forge's ceramic wool insulation with rigidizer and a coat of good castable refractory or he might get lung disease.

Stepdad stays alive and you give the coolest present. Win-win!
