nice work...there is something suuuuper satisfying about being able to make your own tool for the current job at hand...

The main point of failure in these knives seems to be the tang. Some guy decides to use his knife as a pry bar and bends the tang. I don't know if that was because the tang wasn't tempered or they should have made them wider. I do know that some of the guys handling supplies were issued more robust but similar knives. They used them to open packing cases. The other most common issue was the leather washers in the handle rotting. Of course their cloths sometimes partly rotted off their bodies so conditions were pretty bad.

would a dremmel with flexible shaft for sanding the fuller maybe work ?

That " blood groove" also adds strength. Just like the fuller running down a sword blade.

It might be better to say that it retains strength while reducing weight.

Blade is looking sick! Hopefully you give it an equally nice handle

Awesome... If you were in India🇮🇳, I'd have buy one knife every month...

How long did you have the tumbler going for?

@zachmarvin Ай бұрын

i think it was like 25 minutes total, longer than i normally do but it turned out great!

Polish the knife not the fuller. Makes it stand out really nicely

When a tap is giving you that much difficulty to turn, your hole is likely too small for the tap, and that is how you break taps. make sure you are using the proper sized drill bit for the tap size, or ream the hole after drilling so the hole isn't too tight for the tap. either that, or you have some seriously cheap taps that aren't sharp enough. cheap taps act like this also.
