Jigsaw Blade Neck Knife

I found an old jigsaw blade lying around in our garage and I decided to make a small neck knife out of it. I didn't do any tempering or hardening of the blade. I just cut the metal into the shape I want but I was extra careful not to overheat it by dipping the metal in a pan of water from time to time. I used a rotary tool to do the job including putting the edge on it.


The blade: 1 1/4" cutting edge.


The tools I used for making the handle and sheath.


The wooden handle and the sheath is made from a branch of a tree I set aside a year ago and is fully dried. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the name of the tree because I didn't know what kind of tree it was.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
