"Softened the blade for the handle"?  What does this mean and how is it accomplished?

I had time to sand down the handle a bit tonight. I will use tung oil as the finish.

nice

Beautiful!!

You're killin' me! That thing looks awesome! Hey, I just had an idea! I work for a landscape company and my boss has been whinning for a helle knife. Maybe I can take an old pruning blade(we have alot of them laying around)and make him a knife like that one. Thanks for the motivation and instructions. Mike

Sweeeeet............Man that is Cool.....

Thanks for sharing.........

WOW!! you do have some skills.  Nice job!

nice looking........this thread gave me some idea's on my next knife.........thanks

All Right! Nice job. Got me thinking about what I can do with a worn out saw blade. Now where can I find some time.

quick question:  are you using a dremmel to cut out the blade?  and what kind of eye protection do you need to wear.  i've never played with metal but i'd like to give it a try.  and how do you shape the handle....

thanks for the build along, it is a gorgeous knife!!

Dremel makes a Diamond Cut Off Wheel as well, thats what I would Use anyway.
Good Set of Safety Glasses with sides Covered too Green Arrow!! The Wrap around kind work Really well.

Eye protection???  Now look, I have something in my eye.    I wear safety glasses and sometimes a full face shield with them.
