Homemade Round Knife

[tomt]

1st time I have ever made a knife and the handle . made out of an old saw blade and deer antler. I made the sheath and carved with the new barry king tools.

Outstanding! I hope it cuts well and gives you years of service. Really nice!

[jackd942]

Very nice! I assume you used an old circular saw blade...what tools did you use to cut the blade to the correct shape?

[Basically Bob]

Wow, very. nice!

Wondering if you covered the hardware on the inside of the sheath?

[tomt]

Thanks for the nice words. Right now it is very sharp. I used it to cut out the case I made for it.

The blade came from an old saw mill that a friend of mine knows. then I took a 4 inch grinder and cleaned

up the edges and then used a file to get the shape that I wanted. I started with 400 grit to 1200 grit

to polish it. And no I did not cover the hardware because I put a plug in it that should have given me

enough room to not scratch it.

I think you should send it to me so you can save the embarassment of having to use it. Very nice work there.

[tomt]

thanks but I think I will hang on to it to see if I can wear it out

[tomt]

thanks you should be able to make one for your self if you try

That is awesome. Do you have sizes on that or could you take some pics with a tape measure next to it so i could get an idea how big it is. I would love to give that a go. I have some old saw blades from a saw mill and I like to make things from scratch. Thanks.
