Maillemaker Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 About five years ago, one of my good high school friends gave me some bandsaw blade to make knives with. After sitting on the shelf for half a decade, I picked it back up today and made this. No hot forging, all stock removal. Overall length: 10.5 inches Blade length: 5.5 inches Handle 5.0 inches Cherry slabs pinned with 3/16" copper rod. Patina-ed with Ferric Chloride. Blade etched with Ferric Chloride, with white-out used for the cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I like it. It inspires me to make some. I have a friend that has a portable lumber mill and he gave me 8 used blades. Maybe in a half of a half of a decade I will start one. Wouldn't want to push it . Same friend also gave me 4 ea large 4ft diameter wagon cart wheels that were laying around his old farm house. All are wrought iron. :D I am blessed by having good friends. Even if they don't give me free stuff. Mark <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
