SAVED: Forgecraft Hi Carbon

Post by TripleF »

I picked this knife from an estate sale Saturday for $.50. The blade was purty raunchy......

Nice work Scott!! I bet that will give you years of good service, and all for 50 cents. Now I can't remember, is that 2 bits or 4 bits?

4 bits = 50¢

Scott, you gots some skills. Dude. If you had some more tools, you would be crazy dangerous. (and that's meant as a huge compliment) I'm in awe of the work you turn out with just the most basic tools.

It's amazing how useful a sheepfoot blade is in the kitchen, or just about anywhere else. ::nod::
