My #2
« on: March 12, 2008, 02:20:00 PM »
It took me a lot longer to finish the second, but here it is.

This knife is made from the same old saw blade as the first. It's 5 3/4" OAL, 2 3/4" maple handle, with a 2 3/4" blade.

 

 

 

I think this one's going in the swap.....Thanks for looking!   :bigsmyl:

longbow did you heat treat/quench the blade at all or just left as is. How does the edge hold up?

Thanks all!

Skippy, I left it as it was. I just cut it slow with water to cool, and it holds a decent edge.

I've never owned a knife that I couldn't dull, so I don't think I could build one!   :bigsmyl:
