caotropheus Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Greetings Made this the lazy way! Cut out the shape out of an harrow disk, forge the handle and forge the cutting edge. Sand it a bit, harden in oil, temper in the oven at 200ºC draw to blue the back of the blade. Made the handle out of micarta, epoxy resin + women Lycra spandex tights. To my surprise, after polishing the blade, lots of pitting in the original material despite it looked smooth and showed no signs of corrosion in first place. Dimensions blade 33 cm Total length 49 cm thickness 4 mm So far resisted all the abuse I have thrown at it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormcrow Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 That's pretty darn good! Plow disk does tend to pick up some interesting-looking rust pitting. There's something manly about gripping a handle made from women's tights. :D "We're meeeeen, we're men in tight TIGHT tights, we roam through the forest looking for fights!"
