homeshow Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 It's from an antique hay rake tine. I really like the blue effect from normalizing. It has a inch and a 1/2 blade and I may epoxy a leather wrap on for a handle. Should make a good all purpose knife. I may even cut the handle down and make a pocket sheath for it. Quote
jmccustomknives Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Nice first blade, you normalized but didn't harden & temper? If you skipped the last part it will be nearly useless as a knife. Quote
homeshow Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Oh its hardened. I gave it the bend chop beating test. It still shaves. Quote
