R.C.Edmondson Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 About a week ago I got ahold of some weed eater edger baldes from the junk yard. I bought 50 of them for 10.00, and figured I might just be able to make something out of them, Not a hole lot of forging can be done with them because they are thin but they tempered very well and stay shaving sharp even after cutting up a thick phone book, I have not yet put handles on them, the biggest knife is made from a old leaf spring, I beat on that thing for DAYS!!!! and then SANDED ON IT FOR DAYS, Just imagine how long it took me to cut it out with a jewelers saw, I also put the file work in them , These are my first knives and I am very proud of them, Thanks to everyone for all their help, Godbless,Charlie Edmondson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustyshackleford Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm rather impressed, especially for an inaugural attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Really nice! One of my sons found & gave me two of the trimmimg blades that you show in your third pic. I might have to make him a knife out of it as a thank you. I really like the nice file work on the edges. That would make a great BP for a lot of us.
