Title: Better crooked knife
Post by: Olanigw (Pekane) on August 07, 2014, 09:30:46 am

I got my hands on some power hack saw blades for this project.

Heated and bent over a pipe, rough ground with a dremel and quenched in peanut oil.  We'll see if it can hold an edge.

Looks nice.  Don't lose a finger.  I made a couple from reciprocating saw blades.  I managed to get the bend in them without having to heat and retempter.
