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.

Those are some intereting blades.  Spent a lot of time polishing I see.  Good work.

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.
