Thank you!

That's some good stuff, but as he says in the article - in my experience (and his too), they just will not hold an edge for any length of time. Even when I heat treat them I've had ok results, but...

I made a little fire brick forge from 2 fire bricks. The issue with unknown mystery steel in saw blades is that you don't really know proper temps to heat treat and temper the blades unless you can...

Most of them - I didn't harden since they were already hardened quite a bit - being saw blades - but the last few I've made, I started heat treating them anyway- even though they are pre-hardened.

Here's my latest sawzall blade knife. Just finished it this morning. It's stacked leather and cedar handle....

It's really just according to how comfortable you are with grinding blades in general. I have ground some blades in the past, but this was the first time I had tried to grind a hook knife blade. I'll...

You're welcome.
Yeah it's really strange that the other Mora knives do not have this secondary bevel, only their crook/hook knives. I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea, but you can...

I have one and with some slight modifications - it can be a quite capable knife. What mods I did to mine are to grind down and round off the sharp point. If you don't it will end up cutting into and...

Thought I'd share a sawzall blade knife I just finished. Hope y'all like it!...
