    Thanks Ted. The knife sits on my magnet kitchen knife deal. Works great.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Well done, sadly I must spread the love, but I tried to give rep points. I am compelled to wonder about if one bought a "New" blade and left the teeth on the back........? Not as a thing of beauty, but as a tool.

    The knife lives in the kitchen and is sharpened on coffee mugs.

    I like the looks better now.

    Many parts of the antler are becoming translucent. It has an amber type glow. I dig it.

    I'd totally take it out in the woods and be confident it would hold up.

    I've been using this one for 2 years on all my adventures. It was on a 14 day remote trip on Etolin Island, I sharpened it once on a piece of shale.

    It's 3/32" saw steel from a 10" circular saw. No heat treatment other than from the factory.

    Anybody can make their own knife.

    Grizz, here is the original thread. Seems it was a 10" edger blade instead of a circular saw blade, but, it doesn't really matter.

    It's the same process as this threads knife, just cut out differently and shaped differently.

    I've made several of these. Don't have pics, but used paracord wrap for the handle on one.
    I left a section of the saw blade and it works very well.
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
