How to Forge a Throwing Knife

Step 2 Start forging...or not.

I went for a Japenese-ninja-kunai-naruto-ish inspired thing here. I don't watch Naruto, but a lot of my freinds do, so i made this in the hopes that they'll buy some...;)
I looked up the naruto kunai on the interweb and its a lot different to the normal Japanese kunai (intended as a tool, like a trowel, or a wrecking bar, not a weapon) it LOOKS alright, with a triangular dagger blade and a ring on the handle. I couldn't be bothered to shape the steel into the triangly-shape, and i'm not going to learn to forge weld, just to get the loop on the end closed, so i'll add my own little features that'll make it much easier for me to forge it, but not detract from its functionality.
The blade will be a knife blade; only one side sharp, and the loop will be open-ish. In the next step, i'll show you how i made the loop.

whoops! all i can say is: don't do it again. and avoid propane cans.

It because the average energy the propane have is getting less dense as the liquid is evaporating and thus cause drop in the temperature. Yes some heat is being moved but it's a very very very small amount. I've seen this happen when my dad recharge a fridge with gas. Interestingly this is how sweat cools you down.
