I Made a Push Dagger From Saw Blade And Firewood

Making a push dagger / knife from an old rusty circular saw blade and some firewood lying around.
I made a cool push dagger for display purpose only. That is why I didn't heat treated or sharpened it properly. I used materials and tools I had at home. The old saw blade was no longer useful and firewood would eventualy burn. It does look like its curly maple. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I will try to answer all of them. Enjoy!

Really nice grinder setup. I'm going to have to build one

[@MakeAndTest]

And I'm gonna have to modify this one a little bit.

[@Gillymonster18]

This video was oddly pleasing to watch. No speed lapse editing, didn’t skip steps but didn’t show everything in painfully minute detail and no funky music. And the end product was beautiful.

[@MakeAndTest]

I'm glad you like it.

[@timbaldwin8271]

Wow, the editing on this is fantastic! Great video!

[@Apex_grind562]

Am I the only one with out tools like this at home??

[@MakeAndTest]

Angle grinder, files, sandpaper and a small saw aren't that expensive. The machine on wich I make bevels is a homemade machine for grindin woodworking planer blades(but you can make em on an angle grinder, You just have to try a bit different approach).

(Looks at the groove in the bench grinder.) someone has been tig welding......

Yes indeed. And you can tell I was learning to weld. Dipping the tungsten was on the menu all day long :D

I like how you built this knife to cut the bread lol. Jokes aside, it's very cool :)

[@MakeAndTest]

Glad you like it man :) I see you watched my other video hahah. This knife is now meant to open letters. Stay tooned, I'm working on another knife project at the moment.

Thanks. Glad you like it. One of my first videos I made, that I really like still to this day.

[@adityafirdaus3881]

Awesome video. but how is characteristic of circle saw? Is it similar with 1095 spring steel or better at rust ressistant?

[@jessehudson1611]

what did you spray at the last of the video?

[@MakeAndTest]

Clear coat lacquer. It was the only thing I had. Could have used oil. If it was stabilized I would't have to use anything.

[@outofworkbum2324]

Awesome craftsmanship

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

[@blazmerela535]

kašno plastiko si dal med lesom in železom, kakšno je to lepilo in kaj si dal zraven lepila (neko črno stvar) drugače pa zelo lep izdelek

[@MakeAndTest]

Plastiko sem odrezal iz enega majhnega koša za smeti. Namazal z dvokomponentim epoksi lepilom in dodal pigment v prahu.

[@Memo-M777]

WOW, You should sell them, I want one, how much do you sell it for?

[@MakeAndTest]

Unfortunately I don't sell them. This was just a fun project to make. I will be making more when I get the time

[@Memo-M777]

Ok let me Know, we you have one available

[@Memo-M777]

Thanks

[@williamzarske1961]

Gonna want to harden and that steel

[@MakeAndTest]

This knofe was made for display purpose only. I'll heat treat my other knifemaking porjects. Subscribe for upcoming projects if you like to see more of this kind of builds. :)

[@AndreAndre-yd5gw]

@Make&Test No need to harden as saw blades are already hardened and if you did not heat the metal up too much while working on it the hardening is good enough.

[@sheadiggins3188]

Hey man what is the machine you use to grind your bevels ? Or how is it made, looks like a great tool

[@MakeAndTest]

Its a homemade grinder made for sharpening blades on woodworking tools (planer,...)

[@sheadiggins3188]

@@MakeAndTest if you ever do a video on how to make it i would be down to learn, awesome work on the dagger btw

[@MakeAndTest]

@@sheadiggins3188 Might really happen, because a lot of people requested an explenation of this tool. :) Hope I'll have the time to maki it soon.

[@mikekernan5388]

@@MakeAndTest I was thinking, as I watched your video, that I'd have to make a jig to move the steel back and forth against my stationary grinder. Really instructive video and I thank you for sharing. Mike

[@MakeAndTest]

[@SuperHolzOfen]

isn't the wood too soft?

[@MakeAndTest]

The wood is maple and its a hard wood. But it is true that I didn't stabilize it. The blade itself is not heat treated too. It's all because the knife was made for display purpose only, or maybe for opening letters. I'm in no way of supporting the true purpose of such a knife(dagger). I'll do a useful knife project in the next couple of videos.
