In this video, I show a small machete I made from a lawnmower blade. It’s part of a series of videos I am making and you can find them all in my playlist titled “work knives of the world”. Thanks for watching!
It’s a great hobby. When I first started I sent some blades to Texas knifemakers supply for heat treating. It was pretty inexpensive back then, not sure how much it costs now. I heat treated in a coal forge I made and also had an electric kiln. You can temper in your household oven or a toaster oven. Hope you get back into it!
