    I saw a belt knife years ago that the owners great uncle had made out of a leaf spring using hammer and anvil. Rather plain knife that held an edge forever.

    I'm in to watch this!

            Well that remains to be seen. I've never worked with any steel like this so it may not turn out well at all.

                We'll get there, I've been busy with some orders and firm orders come first. Without them there wouldn't be funds available for these other projects.

                    Outer leaf out of the solution.



                    Doing a paring knife profile.



                    Well my last band saw blade is worn out and I didn't want to go to Lowes to get a new one so I decided to use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel to rough profile the blade. About the time I was almost through cutting off a section of the metal the grinder somehow grabbed the section that I was cutting off and slammed it into my hand so this is going to slow down my progress for a while. It's actually bruised more than cut but it's all swollen up now. Even made doing this post harder with one hand.

                        Didn't make me sick but it did make me say a few choice words!

                              Ugh take care of that hand Mike. I got a dang staph infection from an almost same incident but wasn't cutting out a knife. I was sick for a month.
