i saw on a website awhile back an idea for a small knife for a survival kit or otherwise. but its a cheap little thing that you can make from a hacksaw blade. just a little bit of grinder work and its yours!
here's the site i found it on:

Yep - those sure can come in handy. They're also nice to use to scrape a mag bar and use as a striker. Here are some that I've made (the ones with the paracord lanyards). When you get a chance how about cutting your way over to the introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.
Oh, a new one for me! I'm definatly gonna try this out, Crash. I like blades almost more than I like coffee:D
Here are a couple more.
:DVery Nice:D Would you happen to know of any "bigbox" stores that would carry Mora blades? I am having a time trying to find one. I don't use credit cards, so buying through the internet isn't an option for me.
Not around here. I've checked, plus the gun shows that I frequent and no joy.
Thanks anyways. Well, I copied some photos and other info from the "net" and am in the process of trying to get one of the smaller box stores interested in the product. Do you have any "Herb Phillipson's" in Florida? They are one of the outfitters up here in N.Y.
Haven't heard of them.
didn't think so. just thought i would check. If I can get the chain to carry Mora's I will let the forum know.
I have made a few small knives from sawzall blades. They work really well, and you get to keep the saw if you like on the back edge of the knife :)
FWIW..

Hey Crash & lb, I can get the Mora knives here @ the knife shop I buy from. He charges $12.00+tax.
What kind of scales is on those knives, Crash?
Which ones? The hacksaw is wrapped with duct tape.
Oh. Silver duct tape. Okay. Couldn't figure out what that was. Thanks.
Crash, you might be in luck:D Florida is a bit of a haul for me though:(Quote:

LB, he does mail order and internet. Just let me know, I just go to his shop, so I don't have anything but his phone #.
LB - You might contact any shop that sells them. They would probably take a check. They may hold up shipping the knife until the check clears but I'll bet you can find one that will deal with you.
I've made a few of the hacksaw blade knives myself they sure do come in handy this one is just a sawback plain blade the other is my rendition of a crooked knife

Nice job sh4d0wm4573ri7

I have heard several times that power hacksaw blades were great for knife blades. I'd love to find some used or worn out ones. I am doing some dabbling in knifemaking these days myself.
When you say "power hacksaw blade" are you talking about the sawzall blade (fine tooth for metal)?

Not exactly, from what I understand these are a more flexible steel that holds an edge better. I like a fixed blade with a 2-3" blade. As I understand it these would do well for me.
Just a note I have found the flexible blades to be far superior. I heat them first to take away the temper, then shape the blade the way I want and do a rough sharpening, then I heat treat them and do the final sharpening, attach to handle and finish the blade they are quite tough. The 2 blades shown in my earlier post I made this way and they cut through oak quite well.
