Nice knife from a sawblade

Posted on September 4, 2020 by robertwilkie

Nice simple build for a knife with an old sawblade. Me….not so sure I would do this given the amount of time it takes. Also noticed the author did not re-temper the blade. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Marking-Knife-From-Old-Saw-Blade/
