Latest Knife Experiment
I wanted a tough, carbon steel blade with a saw back that worked. I tried my hand at a protective finish as well. Don't care too much how the finish turned out, but this is one tough little hombre.

What was it before it became a knife ?

It doesn't actually look that bad at all.
Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.
You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.
I bet that little saw back works!

Updating website! Stop by and tell me what you think!
that looks like a handy little bugger.
Make a great addition to an altoids kit!! Good one Crash!!
That's a cool little knife. Nothing wrong with the finish at all. (the coating, not the people. But they're okay,too).

I was hoping that the close up would be a little better. Was going to have a little fun with the "illusion" of a larger knife. I've made quite a few of the hacksaw blade knives. with the Grizzly Belt Sander it only takes a few minutes to make one that is sharp enough to shave with.
At first I thought it was a meat saw or similar blade from the first picture.

I like it!
What's the chance of making me four of those little beauties?

Chances are good.
Sweet looking tool. I can think of at least a couple uses for such a knife. How much you asking for one? I'd sure like to add one to my kit, or even build one myself if it doesn't require a lot of tools. Most of my tools are for woodworking.
Looks like a great idea to me. Can't wait to see one finished!
PM sent....
Boy,I could use one also. Maybe, as a welcome to the forum kinda thing? HEE HEE.
No,I'd be happy to pay for it.
Hey Spectre, how about a welcome over at the Introductions section and tell us a bit bout yourself?

If you've got a bench grinder or a small belt sander you should make one. You'll be suprised at how easy they are to make. Just grind away the stuff that doesn't look like a knife.
I have one of those grinder wheel things.. we use it for heavy stuff tho.. lawnmower blades, axes, etc. Not sure I want to stick a hacksaw blade anywhere near it (I like having 10 fingers).
I think I'll leave the knifing to the pro's and keep banging rocks and rubbing sticks.
I agree. But,thanks for the recipe.
Eating meat is murder.....tasty,tasty murder
