Harnser Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 That is a very nice knife . Many years ago my mates and me used to make knives from old industrial hacksaw blades . We used to shape them and put an edge on them . We used wood and deer antler for the grips . After they were ground they were super sharpe and you could litterally shave with them . I used to leave the saw edge on one side and sharpen the other . They were brittle but we're good enough for any cutting job and they were free . I would like to own that one .

Harnser 10 mins in the oven at 200c, then quenched would probably have helped with that. I've made a couple of nice knives from scratch and know the work that goes into them, but also the satisfaction too. I don't think any of mine were quite that good though, well done!
