poundhound Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hello, and happy Fathers Day. Here is another knife I made using another lawn mower blade, it is the knife at the bottom of the picture. The top knife is one I had posted before. I used most of the blade the holes are where the blade attached to the lawnmower. The blade is over 10 inches long and 3 inches wide, and the handle is 4.75 inches. I used purple heart for the wood on the handle. I polished it to a mirror finish, you can seen my hand and camera in reflection. PoundHound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccustomknives Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Those are some intereting blades. Spent a lot of time polishing I see. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poundhound Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks I have to get better at the polishing. I don't have a belt grinder which can do a lot of the work for me. But I do have an orbital sander which i have pads up to 220 grit. then hand sand from there. I am starting with a pretty uneven surface, since the lawnmower blades are used they have a lot of dings in them which I grind out.
