Jim, Good to see you doing some work just be careful. I think you have supplied some very good info here for those guys that are trying to use this type of cable.
-
Well stainless cable will have to be welded in a can and is of no good for a knife so you will have to make a san mai to make a useable knife of this. Personally I would not even try to mess with that stainless cable. I would find a crane out fit near you or contact Darren Ellis he sells wire rope for this.

Well I got shocked when I seen this one Rich as I drooled all over the computer . Beautiful knife.
-
Rich I love that mammoth tooth, this is a sweet knife.

-

I would not waste my time with a grader blade it designed to be wear resistant, most likely something like T1 plate. Good steel is cheap if you are going to go through the trouble to make a knife why not use good steel instead of crap steel you have no idea what it is. If you want some good steel just post what you are looking for and I or someone else can tell you where you can get it.

This is one knife I have not posted the other yet. I am getting ready to put bolsters on another knife so I will do a tutorial of what I do for you.
-
Yes it was etched in Ferric Chloride and then rubbed with a polishing paper.
-
Ecart I have not cut on those yet they are just as they came from the mill. I do know one was broke when it hit a T post that was drove into the tree not sure why the other broke.

Azironsmith, No way your going to do that with the bandsaw blades I have they are .090" thick and are nearly a foot wide. that will work fine with small bandsaw blades like you would have at home. These coils are about 5' diameter to give you an idea of the bandsaw blades you are looking for.
