one_rod Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 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. one_rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheftjcook Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The look of the handle is so tight and the finish is neat!! The overall look is SHARP!!! (pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Demetrius Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Did you split the rebar and insert the file frag in the opening to weld it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) 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: Edited May 11, 2009 by steve sells even more typos, what else ?

Talon Tex Overland Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 beautiful, how did you get the finish like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Anyone have any idea how the tool steel was welded into the rebar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcRacer Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited May 14, 2009 by RcRacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 cut a slit in the edge of the bar; forge weld in the tool steel; then final shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So, its welded early on in the process not after the blade has been rough forged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I don't know how this person did it, only how I would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
