I heated the blade to non magnetic and hit the 30w oil, torched & cleaned the upper 1/3 of the blade, epoxied and used a brass welding rod for a couple of pins with cherry scales. Long story a little shorter, the blade would probably break if I dropped it, but it is like a 4" razor and I do believe for skinning and camp use, especially cooking this is the best knife shape I have ever used. Any opinions on a better shaped blade, I have a few more old saw blades and might try something different.:D
