A blade in the ruff

[welderguy]

I cut this out about 4 or 5 moths ago and just found it today, Of all places in box of canned goods i needed to rotate.
Its a chunk of 5160 carbon steel . it is .144 thick I traced an outline (not sure if you can see it ) of the blade design, I'm hoping ill be in any kind of shape to start working on it this week

All this knife talk here lately, this could be called "wilderness survival and knife forum".
Id be good with that. Its getting me interested in making knifes again.
Making a knife is kinda zen like, Real relaxing.
