Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
My first thoughts were "woah" that is serious!! 
Great work Jon, know what you mean about the size though, if tip to tip it was just bigger than your hand I reckon that would be the perfect size, looks hard though!! did you harden it?

Yeah the tips were quenched, not sure about the steel though, rebar is very unreliable as a steel when it comes to its carbon content and I am not convinced that it hardened too well. A known steel would be much more predicable. Somthing tells me this thing would be very good for making birch bark canoes and the like.
