1911a1forlife Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 This is a knife I put together in about 3 hours. It's made from a hacksaw blade that I had left over from a larger knife I made a few years ago. I left some of the sawteeth on the backstrap. The maple handle took 15min. to make and pin on. Overall length is 7-1/4" long with a blade length of about 4-1/2" long. I'm going to make a sheath out of some scrap tooling leather I have laying around. I think this will go with my fishing tackle since its light weight and compact. Thanks for looking :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzertank27 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 looks like a nice mean knife. saw teeth are always cool especially real saw teeth. what kind of steel is hacksaw steel, and where does one get a hacksaw blade so thick ,i only know of the regular about 5/8 wide.??

1911a1forlife Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 panzertank27, the hacksaw blade is made of molybdenum, the thickness of this one is alittle less than an 1/8". It's about an inch wide. I've used some that were over 2" wide. I usually look at tool sales, auctions and flee markets to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
