Made another one
« on: February 12, 2008, 05:06:00 PM »
Here is another knife I made out of a lawnmower blade. I anealed the whole mower blade this time and it made cutting the blade out, filework and grinding alot easier this time. The scales are Wenge and Osage and it came from the riser of the Glass longbow I made for my son.

Yeah I got the blade to non-magnetic and then quenched in motor oil. The popped it in the oven at 365 degrees for 45 minutes. I already sharpened it and brass rod tested it and it turned out great.
