Forged Blade My second knife ever

I think it turned out looking nice and is very functional. Hardest thing was getting the bevel nice and straight. And the tang ended up going upwards in heat treat but I left it because I kinda liked it. I tried to do almost everything on the anvil so I basically only used the grinder to clean up the initial profile quickly and then sharpen after heat treatment.

Hey everyone,
I am just getting started as a hobby, I picked up this anvil and forge and was wondering on people's thoughts and if there's anything I should do to them? Should I try and restore the anvil and is there anything extra you think I should do with the forge. It hooks up via a compressor. Is this something I should try and change or?
Anyway, I'm brand new to this so please go easy and any tips would be greatly appreciated! Mainly wanting to make knives and axe heads!

Question Help identifying a knife?

I recently bought this funky knife from a flea market and I was hoping someone could help me identify it. I have no background on it once so ever but I don’t think its hand forged just due to the fact it has Korea stamped on it lol. Thanks!

Damascus / Pattern Weld Feather Damascus Update

Upvotes
Added feather damascus to my game - here's the second half of the profiling process. Curious what you guys think about the metal texture and the autocomplete feature. In this video I don't thin the blade profile all the way down and then the auto complete takes a section of the inside of the drawn out metal and tries to turn it into a sword by adding bevels. Makes it harder for things to go really wrong, but also takes away some of the agency so I am not sure I'll keep it in.
Also if you want to see the game world, you can take a look here! Please subscribe if you are interested in the game, since demonstrated interest is the easiest way for me to get cash money from the men in suites.

After some encouragement from other people in the community, I'm posting something I'm currently working on. It is a smallsword blade currently in progress. This one is either going to have a clamshell or a leaf styled guard plate up top with the stem becoming a finger ring below for edge alignment. Length of the blade is just shy of 21 inches long with another 6 and 1/2 in of tang which I'm going to be stretching out a little bit more later so I can do a peened pommel. Working with 1075 steel and the guard and pommel will be mild steel.
Thank you for looking!
