cutoffs

[19-3ben]

Those, sir, are jorts.

I like 'em. A lot more useful like this than in the scrap heap.

They are both jorts and cutoffs.
It's like a high school logic problem. Not all cutoffs are jorts, and not all jorts are cutoffs, but some jorts are also cutoffs.

So isn't your favorite small fixed blade an, as you put it, "abominated" hobby file that you made?

How are these any different?

S skarrd , I like 'em! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

these are different only in the idea that they are *scrap* pieces that got a new lease on life,my personal carry knife is one I made with a little more *point* to it. these are mostly just for fun on a rainy day.

Any reason to do these tiny cutoff knives, rather than save up the scraps and make a Damascus from them (obviously using only the ones that would actually go well together)?
I would think that making an expensive and "premium" product like a Damascus would be a great way to take scrap metal and turn it into something very valuable.

I ask as someone who has never forged a damned thing in his life.

it probably would make good Damascus,but I don't forge,60 year old carpals just cant take the pounding[and I have no power hammers]

That top one looks like it'd be a handy little scraping tool. What's the total length on it?

overall just shy of 5 inches 1 7/8 in. blade

thank you all for the input and likes. I appreciate it.

Exactly. That is why I was wondering why that other member said what he said about your work, when he carries a similar piece of his work.

Really cool pieces there!!!

I like that you made such useful and good looking knives out of odds and ends.

They are small one or two-finger knives made from scrap pieces.

There are a ton on the market, check out the Boker Vox Gnome, for example.

Hope that helps!

I thought someone took a cutoff wheel to perfectly good blades. Thanks for the explanation
