what are thay made from? the first one looks like a file.
all of these were cut from a large cold steel cutting saw blade about 18inches in dia i cut the blanks with a plasma torch and ground and sanded them the handle on all but the white handled one are homemade micarta
I Had A Huge Sawmill Blade I Did That With. Files Do Work Really Well. I've Gotten Into Blacksmithing Latley And It Takes More Time But I Think You'd Enjoy The Outcome You Can Get.
avenged i am into forging to i have a ingroung brick lined forge and i just aded a 10x10 lean to on my shop for a blacksmith shop i just havent finished any good looking knifes that way yet i have a few in the prosses though
Muddy, Thats a great start you have going on there. I realey like the 2nd one. How do you make homemade Micarta?
All are nice work. A cutting tool is a cutting tool and if you can make it, more power to you.
Avenged - Why don't you and bigfoot lumber over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself? And welcome to the forum!

Move along folks. Nothing to see here. Keep moving. That's right, just keep moving.
See what 2 weeks in Atlanta will do to ya?
Two weeks?? my watch must be a little off,cuz it seems like he has been gone much longer
Atlanta? I said Atlantis. I still have water in my ears!
I've Seen One Built Into The Ground Like That. I'm Jelous. I'm Looking Into Buying Land And Building A Shop And Then A House. My Biggest Problem Is Space. I Do Lots Of Welding Projects At Home Too, So I'd Like To Have One Space For That And Another For Smithing. I Do More Smithing In The Cold Months. Seems To Work Out Better For Keeping Me Warm!!!
No crash still has water in his ears.

yeh hop that the way i do it i have tried some real tree camo but it comes out to dark to see
I would love to find a Sawmill Blade that big. I've even written to some Mills to try and get one that their done with, but they all have people that they already sell them to. I can't imagine what one would cost new! Didn't even bother to research it because I know what the 10" ones costs me...
