dikman Report post Posted April 30, 2020 I decided to make a couple of round knives from a circular saw blade that I had. The blade is at least 40 years old so I figured it should be high carbon steel. I overheated it a bit when re-hardening it as I forgot how tricky it is working with thin steel in the forge. The burning does give a nice pattern on the steel when polished! The left one has applewood for the handle, the right is Blackwood, copper pins and finished with 4 coats of burnishing oil polished on a denim buffer. The shaping of the handles is a bit rough because once they were attached to the blades the blade shape made it awkward to work them. Good enough for me to use but not to sell! Now I just have to sharpen them and make leather sheathes to hold/protect them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
