Sawmill Special

[Robert Dark]

If you combine an old rusty sawmill blade, some old canvas Micarta from the early 60's, and the work of one old stubborn man, you sometimes get something new.

Here is that something new.......

That looks good, I rescued some saw blade out of the trash at work , I hope what I make looks that good.

Looks like a no nonsense, tough as nails user. Good job.

Good looking knife. I bet all three components of this one have some interesting history...

I doubt that it is L-6. Probably a 10XX series with perhaps a few extras thrown in. I heat treated it like I do my 1084, except for an interrupted quench, and the edge seems to be as tuff as the lips on a woodpecker.
