Dan Crabtree Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Made the basket out of 1/4 in. mild steel and forge welded the blade made out of an old file into it did some tig welding in there too before the final weld. The tang was bent at a 90 degree angle and left sticking out after the welding and then I wrapped it around the handle. Its out in Colorado being tested on an elk hunting trip.
