I made this knife in autumn 2022. It was a funny story: in summer 2022 I was at the summer camp for talented (and quite possibly neurodivergent) children, as a blacksmithing teacher, with my mobile forge, 16kg anvil, stick welder and other knick-knacks. An a pair of boys came up and asked me to fix their machete that they used to chop sticks for evening bonfire. Well, talent has many sides, and they were very talented at breaking things: their heavy stainless steel machete was broken in half. I told them that it's busted for good. They asked me to weld it, but I declined: it will not hold fir long, even if I'd had stainless steel welding sticks. So I offered them to make a short knife from the machete part with handle, and the rest they can throw away or give me for experimenting. They agreed, and with angle grinder their machete stump was reborn as a short and ugly knife. And the other half of the blade... You can see it now, reborn as an ork choppa! Waaagh!!!
