We are pouring truck after truckfull of concrete at work, as part of loading yard refurbishment. Getting as much done as possible while the good weather holds.

So there are an awful lot of re-enforcing bar offcuts about.

Just couldn't help having a play with some.

Welded in a piece of file steel to form the cuting edge. Oil-flash black finish.

that would make a great steak knife set.

man thats smooth.. I like that.

Congratulations. That's really cool.

I like it, the oil is a nice finish.

The look of the handle is so tight and the finish is neat!!
The overall look is SHARP!!! (pun intended)

That is one good looking knife.

Very nice! Great work.

Did you split the rebar and insert the file frag in the opening to weld it?

Very nice. Very nice in deed, albeit given the section (Historical Blades), when I saw the post, I expected something; I don't know, historical!?! :D

The post is '06..... Historical

Ahhhhhhhhh. I stand corrected LOL

Over the past week or so, I have moved and relocated 4 subsections of posted things, with a total of over 1,500 posts, I can't get them all right the first time Re-bar...Ka-bar an honest mistake.

With my dyslexia, you are just lucky I didn't accidentally get a baby picture of my new grand daughter posted there, and a knife thread moved to my In laws Email, although my Father in law might like the Ka-Bar thread... hmmm :rolleyes:

even more typos, what else ?

A rebar Ka-Bar Fubar eh?

Seems about right to me.

Still a very nice looking knife!

beautiful, how did you get the finish like that

Anyone have any idea how the tool steel was welded into the rebar?

I know this was originally posted long ago, but the knife is cool looking. If you are still with us ( the original poster ), please describe how you welded the file knife edge to the re-bar.

PS. Does any one else want to take a stab at how it was done? ( No pun intended ).

Thanks,
Dom

I might be willing to take a slash at it.

cut a slit in the edge of the bar; forge weld in the tool steel; then final shape.

So, its welded early on in the process not after the blade has been rough forged?

I don't know how this person did it, only how I would have.
