saw back

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Several people have asked,so here is how to make a saw back.Sort of crude drawings,but you'll get the idea.You can add real set by twisting the teeth slightly left and right.Do that last thing before hardening.It will make clean up after heat treat a bi..h,so you may not want to add true set unless you are making a working camp knife and don't need a fine finish.Change hole sizes to fit your needs.You can even gradually enlarge them for that "fantasy fighter " look.
PS: I exagerated the "set" in the drawing,only 15-20 degrees is needed.

Cool, though I don't care for saw teeth on a knife I'm going to use, I've always had a hankering to make a "Rambo" type knife and wondered how to do the saw teeth.
