Thread: matching neck knife

  1. #1

    Default matching neck knife

    after finnishing the makings of my file knife over the weekend, i thought I would go ahead a make a matching neck knife from a circular saw blade.
    (for tho's who did'nt see the file knife thread) http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92081

    this is the first one iv made from a saw blade, not sure what the steel was but it hold a great edge.
    i used left over pine wood that i also used for the file knife, the rivet are made from a coat hanger.
    I heat treated the blade the same way I did the file knife. hope you like it.

    if i could live in the wild, i would

    nice looking knives there monkey boy, i like the belly of the handle on the smaller one, looks like it'd be really comfortable for doing the more powerful carving cuts
