All this talk of Saw blades

[RGK]

Got me to thinking about this one I made last year. This is a drop point blade. I used a limb saw blade.

 

 

After roughing out the blade, I softened the handle so I can drill holes for the brass pins.

 

Then I cleaned up the edges and polished the blade.

 

After sharpening the blade, I drilled the pin holes.

For the knife handle, I used antler and walnut. I cut apart a small rack to make the sides.

 

I used J.B. weld epoxy to attach the antler to the walnut sides and then drilled the holes for the brass pins.

 

I also use J.B. weld to attach the sides to the tang and in the pin holes. The pins are a tight fit that get pounded together.

 

 

[RGK]

The sides are over sized get sanded to shape after the epoxy sets.

 

 

 

I Finished the saw blade knife. Tung oil provides the shine.

Very nice.  I like the antler and wood combo.

My wife says it looks like a pool cue.

I have an old limb saw blade kicking around out back in the shed somewhere. I never thought about cutting a knife blade from it. I figured it would be too flimsy. I'm gonna have to give that a go.
Once again great work Ron. I'm learning a ton just from reading your build alongs and pics. THANKS!!!
