first edger blade knife!
rover brewer:
nice job.
Pat B:
Thanks Jonathan. I'll have to give it a try. I'll check locally for soft fire brick. Lots of potters around here.
Thanks rover.
These are the tools I used. A large flat file, a coarse half round file, a big hammer and a cold chisel and a small peening hammer(for peening the handle pins). I also use a chainsaw file for the hard to reach areas.

That is a real nice knife,got me wanting to make some more.
Pat B:
Thanks Yeti. I't was nice to meet and shooting with you and your son at Hickory. 8)
Here is the other piece of the edger blade transformed but not tempered yet. I shortened the overall length and gave it a little bit different look. Should make a nice little skinner or neck knife. I did a bit more file work on this one to reduce the "hump" between the blade and edge and remove some of the pitting. The handle scales are boxwood I collected( ::) ) on my landscaping job. I never realized how pretty boxwood is. A nice creamy white with streaks of butter(color) in it...and hard as you know what!!! :o
