Here is a knife I made out of an old saw blade.  I used a dremel and a belt sander.  Its the first knife I have made.

 


Its gonna be part of a archery package christmas gift I am working on for my little brother.

 
 

I will post more pics of the Osage Selfbow and Quiver when I got it all done!

That backing looks great. Nice knife and quiver to.
Just because it don't work for you, don't mean it don't.

Tenbrook,
   Very nice knife!  The bow and quiver are also fantastic.  A question about the knife.  Have you used it any to see how the edge will hold up?  I have a couple I cut out of a similar saw blade but haven't gotten around to getting them sharpened.  The steel seems very hard but I don't know how it will hold up.  Just curious.  Also, what kind of pins/rivets did you use on the handle?

   Again, very nice work.

No, I have not used the knife yet.  I am also interested to see how it will hold up?  For the rivets I used 3/16 brass rods.  I am going to do a build along, on a new knife in the next few days. Maybe today if I have time.

What an awesome Christmas gift... your brother should be proud to use such a beautiful archery set.

That's a nifty package deal. I'd say your brother is one lucky man!    :clapper:  Well done.

If I had a brother like you, I might have turned out better. This kind of stuff is what family is all about. Thanks for the smile I got from your generous gifts.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

:D  That my friend is a true labor of love.  Keep up the good work.  Looking forward to seeing more of you craft.
