Tidier than a bought one, I like the like of the first with the rust still, makes it look like it has been used.
Top effort.

Thanks, and yes, I much prefer the rust patina on it, as you say it makes it looked used, is that a hint that you would want one ??

Got another two on the go at the moment, a bit shorter in the blade, but they have a nice heft to them.

The steel saw blade they were made from is 6mm thick, high speed steel, the main reason I used the file for all the work was to keep heat out of the steel, I dont have any hardening experience or the gear to do it. They hold an edge very well.

I have a nice one here that has been around longer than I have,
I bet the owners of yours are very happy.
