    Just heat it up and bend it (90°-180°). No need to cut it off, store it where it can't be found or weld it on again. Willy

    https://www.instructables.com/Wooden-Block-Plane-1/ spring steel is okay, a little bit more carbon, some carbides and less Si (usually) would improve

    If I am not in the right state of mind I break sawblades. After two broken sawblades I do at least half an hour of meditative knife sharpening. Ommm!

    A fretsaw works fine too. My finest sawblades have 25 teeth per cm and are only .22mm wide (and you can get even finer blades).

    They are top shelf! I had the chance to see some of his works in Solingen (Messermachermesse) and at a meeting of some members of the "Messerforum" (Jens in Ostercappeln ~2005 - Daniel, you were there too). A silent admirer Willy

    "UHU plus endfest 300" was always my choice and it worked well von me. But some years ago they changed the recipe. Now it ist not half as good as it was. But in their Professional Shop you can still buy the old recipe. Honi soit qui mal y pense. (I don't know, wether it is available in the US. I think it's more a german brand.) Willy

    Colt–Browning M1895? I like the design of your letter opener, Jerry. About 15 years ago I forged a kitchen knife with a similiar shape. Can't remember where it went, I'm getting older

    Northern German Southern has a smooth transition between the round horn and the face. And the face is narrower.
