    nice job, how about some details on how you made the knife?
    WHAT IF THE AMERICA YOU KNEW, WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE?

    The best thing you can do to support the site is pass it on to your friends and fav sites like other forums, facebook, twitter etc. Let people know about us! :)

            I used a Circular Saw Blade, sharpie marker (get the shape to my liking), Cut Off wheels in a angle gringer and an 8" bench grinder. These got me the main shape. Then using the angle grinder again, with a Sand Paper/Scotch Brite Pad disc I grind out the rough blade profile. At that point I do it by hand, sharpening with various files. In this pic you can see more I have made and am working on. The one on the left has a handle made from a white lucite cutting board.Click image for larger version

                      Nice work. Ive made a couple of blade blanks using high carbon planer blades. I'll try and get some pictures up.
