May 28, 201610 yr The local Farriers popped into my forge last week and dropped of some of their old rasps. So what do you do when the world gives you blunt rasps? You make upcycle knifes of course. Overall length is 400mm or 16" in old money. Decided to keep the up-cycling theme going for the handle and used some old marine ply I had lying under the bench. I have to say this was a fun distraction for my usual work.
