A letter opener is a good beginner project for someone looking to get started in blacksmithing or bladesmithing. The project includes a bunch of basic techniques such as using a half-faced blow, breaking down material, bending, and twisting. I hope you enjoy the video.

I quite enjoyed that video. It make me really want a proper anvil. That twist is gorgeous and even. Your hammer technique is excellent. I've been doing this on and off for about a year now and it is fun to see people with experience working. Thanks for posting!
