You can really come up with some great ideas Magdad! I have an old butchers ( I’m an old butcher) knife I have been using thats really shot. I see a replacement coming in the near future. Thank You for sharing this idea. Yours turned out awesome!!

Great video - as always. I was surprised you did not use your “Miracle Juice” on it to get the rust out of the deep crevasses. You have a very creative mind to make the connection between a rusty “throw away” and your finished product. Your knife would make a great leather craftsman knife. Thank you. Michael from Canada

@@357magdad I started collecting knives at age 6 on up to my early twenties when I stopped collecting but still today have a reasonable number of knives and carried one ever day til this day. The saying “when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” is largely true. But when you have a knife and a flexible mind, many of the world’s practical problems can be overcome with a knife.

@Anon-mk4ms 3 месяца назад

The number one rule to follow when making a knife out of already tempered steel is not to get it too hot or you will lose that temper, a good guide to how hot you should get it is you should be able to hold it with a bare hand.

@357magdad 3 месяца назад

Like I showed in the video, I had a container of water nearby to keep the blade cool while shaping it.

@chrislewellen4016 3 месяца назад

I love this idea. I plan on making one soon. Something I've picked up from the bushcraft group is to Leanne a section of the backside of the blade a perfect 90° with a small burr for scraping. Hope that idea helps someone in this group.

Very similar to what I did people loved them everyone I made family members took them. I ran out of old rusty files 😆. Maybe do the same thing with new scrapers like I suggested werner has a made in the usa line like I said or exotic allex from Japan. Allex makes fantastic cheap scissors from Japan some of the utilty ones would make a fantastic knife if you took it apart.
