Here is my first Fire Poker. Made out of some rod and sealed with beeswax.

First Forged Blade

The result of four hours of forging and two hours of grinding/polishing.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
The holes need to be touched up, I don't have strong enough drill bits yet.

Some WIP Pictures

Done Forging

Grinding bevels
I was studying the blade when I accedently touched the tip to the belt sander and sent the blade flying towards the floor with not even a scratch! A bit surprising because the blade is very soft right 
now.    

Polishing before heat treat
The tip looks a little bent but its just the bevel that still needs fixed
