I've never seen a knife made from a hacksaw blade before. I've got some branches from my girlfriend's olive trees in Greece to make a handle for a jigsaw blade knife now I have to make one of these too. Great video!

I agree, we have some hand-made olive wood salad tongs and olive forks with beautiful grain patterns, when I saw that the olive trees had been pruned I couldn't resist salvaging some branches and logs.
Very smart I have hundreds of these old saw blades laying around the shop! Definitely gonna try make this

lol, it's not a knife making video if it does not have the "Diresta hair cutting" scene in the end! Thanks
most vidoes suck without music, this is an exception
I like the music rather than no music , the first 20 secs reminded me of the dentist chair..ha ha ha ... Great knife . and always great when you makes something out of nothing at all ...cheers

Oh, I did these knives as a child :). He used a piece of saw blade and electrical PVC - insulating tape - just wrapped handle multiple layers. The heat treatment of the blade is not applied. He is leaving as it is. He honed on the electric sharpener.

I have one for about 2 years. I use it often but not everyday, I have just polished it 4 times after the first sharpening. To me that's really good for a DIY knife.

Μετά το καμίνι το έσβησα σε λάδι. Μετά το φούρνο όμως το αφήνεις να κρυώσει τον άερα ήρεμα. Στο ακόνισμα, για να μη χάσει η λάμα τη σκληρότητά της που και που το βουτάω στο νερό για να μην προλάβει να καεί. Ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα καλά λόγια! Θέλω κάποια στιγμή να φτιάξω σουγιαδάκι ξυλογλυπτικής.

Too thin blade. When it crack and the piece will fly into the eye, idea is to make the blade from a piece of wrong metal, will seems not very good.

I am still thinking of it. It seems there's always somebody that does not like something about my videos. That's logical. It is also logical that I can't satisfy everyone, so we all have to meet somewhere in the middle. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting!

It didn't seem to work all that well. Any blade can be made to cut but the question becomes will it hold an edge? Most hacksaw blades are too soft or pliable to be made into a woodcarving knife. What you showed was not at all impressive. Too bad.
