make your own draw knife

Made this from an old circular saw blade in about. A half-hour and works better than the flex cut one i was using

I made this from mild steel. I really like it because its only semi sharp and partially dull............ :P ::) :P so I don't go and gouge out the piece of wood.

Tykes works well. I used it a bit yesterday when he brought it over to show me. Too bad I dropped $100 on 2 already.

And stop bashing the $45.00 loaner you used of mine Tyke!  >:D

Tyke, what did you use to cut that blade? Look forward to seeing it finished, with handles.

Great idea! Saw blades are decent metal for sure.

      Cheap to make, quick and if you don't overheat while grinding an edge you don't need to heat treat it. I started off making my knives out of saw blades that I shaped with a Dremmel and cut off wheels. It became a source of pride when I could cut out a profile with just one wheel (1" dia.). No problem to get shaving sharp. Well done.
