First knife
« on: December 13, 2007, 01:43:00 AM »
Here is a knife I made out of an old saw blade.  I used a dremel and a belt sander.  Its the first knife I have made.

   


Its gonna be part of a archery package christmas gift I am working on for my little brother.

   
 

I will post more pics of the Osage Selfbow and Quiver when I got it all done!

Tenbrook,
    Very nice knife!  The bow and quiver are also fantastic.  A question about the knife.  Have you used it any to see how the edge will hold up?  I have a couple I cut out of a similar saw blade but haven't gotten around to getting them sharpened.  The steel seems very hard but I don't know how it will hold up.  Just curious.  Also, what kind of pins/rivets did you use on the handle?

    Again, very nice work.

No, I have not used the knife yet.  I am also interested to see how it will hold up?  For the rivets I used 3/16 brass rods.  I am going to do a build along, on a new knife in the next few days. Maybe today if I have time.

That's a nifty package deal. I'd say your brother is one lucky man!    :clapper:  Well done.

If I had a brother like you, I might have turned out better. This kind of stuff is what family is all about. Thanks for the smile I got from your generous gifts.
