This is the only knife that he actually MAKES. The others are blanks, purchased, more than likely, from Jantz since he offers them in the steels that Jantz has begun to offer.
Even if they're the same piece of steel... so what? He ground off anything useful, as been pointed out before. I'm sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but Great Scott this kind of nonsense gets me riled. There's just no place for it when so many people are making good blades, in an honest and straightforward manner.
My challenge stands.
How thick is that particular blade, anybody know?
Specifications
Blade Dimension 12"x1"x.062"
Shank 1/2 in. Universal
TPI/Grit 8 TPI
Thing doesn't fit.

Your forensic analysis of the photograph would be valid IF the photograph were taken dead on center with a distortion free lens. Since all lenses distort and I did make that knife from that sawzall blade, your child logic and not the Bush Baby is flawed. Also,the knife is closer to the lens than the sawzall blade. Now eric knows that closer things appear larger than things further away.
Knifemaking has gone so far past the point of diminishing return that some knifemakers have become lost. Again, my sawzall knife is not he best knife in the world - to say so would be silly. I easily made a simple knife made from simple materials that is well outside the envelope of diminishing return.
Thank you again for your comments and "analysis".
are you referring to yourself in the third person?
I like how he still hasn't addressed the fact that we called him out on using blade blanks as his own ground designs.
