dikman Report post Posted November 12, 2019 I made a mini head knife! I have a Fein multitool (great piece of gear) and the half-round bi-metal cutting blade broke where it fits on to the tool. I was looking at it and thought it was a nice piece of steel, very thin and hard. So I ground off the teeth and shaped it , then turned a small wooden handle, slit it and epoxied the blade in. Bit of varnish on the handle and then I sharpened it on my motorised paper wheel. It is SHARP! Great for skiving. Now I need to make a bigger one once I find a suitable piece of steel.

dikman Report post Posted November 12, 2019 Good idea about the saw blades. I have a couple of cheap handsaws, I'll have to test the steel and see what it's like. Failing that I'll try and find a saw sharpening place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
