ady-b 94 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Well i've been following some of the knife making threads recently and decided to give it a bash, anyway heres two that I made from an old circular saw blade, I'm quite pleased with the results but I've learnt quite a bit and hopefully the next ones will be an improvement.

Hi Matt with the first one I didnt just softened the handle to enable me to drill it with the second one I did, I trawled the net to try and gather as much info as possible cos Ive never done anything like this before, but I have always tried to have a go at different things from knitting purse nets to tying my own flys for fishing. I think theres an improvement from the first one so its onwards and upwards because its strangely addictive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
