[Woodcarver] Knife making question

[Barney Barnhardt]

Are they "all" made from masonry nails?  Some of the wider blades have me
wondering.  I have visions of heating and pounding like an old time
blacksmith!!

Good morning Arthur, isn't it nice to see the sun today?  Here are some
knives that I make out of Masonry nails. You can buy a 1 pound box for
around $3.00, thats over 50 nails, or tools.

I just use  a small propane torch to heat treat them.

just a little bit south of you.


And now let us move on to other topics -  does anyone have a burning  
woodcarving question for this fine Friday?

 

I hope this is a good question for this group.  I have been looking at mini
carving knives lately since I have gotten into carving miniature carving and
other items that require small blades.  Looked at several and thought they
were to high priced.
