I may be crazy, but I found a piece of 1/4 inch thick steel and had an epiphany. I had been wanting a bush knife, but I would not use it that often so it probably wouldnt be worth the money. I decided to make a bush out of the steel. It has been going good, but now I am working on cutting out the handle. The knife will be one piece solid steel and the cut is about 6-7 inches lengthwise. I will dull so many hacksaw blades doing this so I am wondering if I got the metal really hot and put it in the vise, would the cutting with the hacksaw go faster because the metal was hot?
Thanks,
