The top knife is a production blade blank. It's several years old and I put the mesquite handles on it.

Here is a chef knife I copied.

Better with the bevel

Thanks for the info

I have a friend that can get all the cutting edges I want from motor grader and bulldozers. Does anyone know if they will make blade steel.

Thanks you.

No I didnt. The files had beven in my grandfathers old shop. They are older than I am, (42). So I used them

Thanks. In don't mind critiques, I'm by no means an expert. Just a guy that loves knives

Here is my first farriers rasp knife. It's stock removal. It is also the first knife I heat treated. It has a solid mesquite handles, that I milled out myself. Need some minor touch ups.

The guys catch hogs with dogs. This is the reason for the knife. They don't want to shoot guns around their dogs, risking hitting one. The guys try to Dispatch the pigs quickly so they try to find an efficient knife. Devine. Shoot I'm just.minutes away. I'll be there

Worked good. Just had to fine tune the doors for back pressure. But I was able to heat treat 5 knives

I needed to get some knives heat treated before I go back to work this weekend. I improvised. I have a large pear burner. A good friend runs a brick yard. He gave me 20 of their bricks that will go to 2500 degrees. I layedon't the brick into an oven type and there you go, a propane forge.

It's a project for a friend that shanks pigs. It's his specs.
