Loneforge Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This knife is welded chainsaw chain. The pattern isn't showing a lot of contrast after an etch in Ferric Chloride. I'm gonna try another medium to see if I get more contrast before finishing this one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robakyo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That's a really nice blade! I like the profile. I can see the patterning slightly. What grit have you taken it to? Are you using brass tubing for the pins? Really cool. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loneforge Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks guys it's not finished ...preliminary etch to see what the chain would look like. Brass lanyard pins. It's sanded to 400 for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akad Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Nice looking knife! Is there a thread explaining the chainsaw chain to knife process? I've seen a few knives made from that on here, and I'm curious to see how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loneforge Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 AKAD there is another gentlemen that wanted the same info. I'm gonna do another chain here soon so when I do I'll take pics and document the process I used and I'll send the pics to you as well. Hope this helps ya! I can't take credit for the method as I saw it somewhere else. Cheers, Darren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I've been collecting some chainsaw chains for a knife project. I'll be watching for the new project before I decide to start. Lovely knife BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
