February 7, 200917 yr Here is a new folder I just completed. The blade was made from a super heavy duty reciprocating saw blade. I got it from my brother-in-law's butcher shop. I'm not sure what kind of metal it is but by the sparks from grinding, it definitely has a good amount of carbon. The antler was one I had saved a few years. The pivot pin is copper. The orange thing in the end is a stained glass nugget that I got from my stained glass supply bin. I'm not sure if I'm keeping the glass in the end. I thought a turkey spur sticking out at the end would be neat. Any ideas?

June 11, 200917 yr Here is a pretty simple folder that I made with antler handle and used a circular saw blade for the blade. The hinge pin is steel.Antler Handle Folding Knife - Blacksmith Photo GalleryAntler Handle Folding Knife - Blacksmith Photo GalleryAntler Handle Folding Knife - Blacksmith Photo Gallery
