Forging skinning knife with limited tools

[Tuomas]

Hi

I made a bet with a friend.

Could i forge a skinning knife from a file without
Real anvil with a horn?

File was 5mm thick and 38mm wide.
Requirements for the blade was to make it
Atleast 8mm thick from the back and 55mm wide blade.



Geometry had to make by forging, grinding was
Allowed to be used only for finishing and sharpening.

Used tools.
Rr-track as an anvil.
Two hammers
Angle grinder
Locking pliers & thongs
Wet sanding paper

Hadn't tried anything like that before, so it was a little tricky to do.

I named it Rude.

I'm not sure is this a tool or not, so i placed it here.
