Title: First knife
Post by: tenbrook on December 13, 2007, 01:43:00 AM: Here is a knife I made out of an old saw blade. I used a dremel and a belt sander. Its the first knife I have made.

Very nice knife! The bow and quiver are also fantastic. A question about the knife. Have you used it any to see how the edge will hold up? I have a couple I cut out of a similar saw blade but haven't gotten around to getting them sharpened. The steel seems very hard but I don't know how it will hold up. Just curious. Also, what kind of pins/rivets did you use on the handle?

Again, very nice work.

No, I have not used the knife yet. I am also interested to see how it will hold up? For the rivets I used 3/16 brass rods. I am going to do a build along, on a new knife in the next few days. Maybe today if I have time.
