FWIW, if the hot water heater is an electric, you can get the anode out of it, it'll be a bar of nearly pure magnesium, the same stuff people buy and use for fire making.

Wow, a hot water heater with magnesium in it. So I can baton through it and get an explosion too. Cool. Sounds like an episode of Myth Busters. I promise to show more pics soon, and when I get home tonight , I will try to upload some pics of my other stuff just for fun. When I get moved into my new house and get my shop set up, I'll make some kydex sheaths for them and post some pics of that. It might be a while though, they haven't broke ground yet, but soon hopefully.
Take care All.

Here it is as promised.
The HD 5, HD 8, and HD 11. Each are just under 3/8" thick. These are all great choppers with the weight forward blades, and the curved handles really helps to reduce fatigue to the hand and wrist since the blade is set forward naturally. The downside is the lack of the finger hook that is present in the Becker design, so as the grip loosens, the knife wants to slide out of the hand. Since making knives with a Becker styled handle, I don't plan to go back to this style.

Good lookin' work!
A bit thick for my tastes but I could see how one could support an airplane (and the aircraft carrier) with one of them. How do they cut?
