Dragged out of a well earned retirement

[jojo]

There I was, after years of trudging around the garden, cutting grass, hitting stones, covered in green slime for hours on end, then left to dry and rust, full of dents that were never sharpened...one day, the engine coughed, and then died... And I thought...yay...peace at last, no more whirling around,no more dizziness, I can rest and do nothing...a well earned rest, at last...

...and then the heartless cuss did that to me: (I could call him something else, but this is family forum)

...turned me into knives!

Can't even rest in peace now...

To be honest, I was not expecting too much from the steel. But it hardened very nicely, and the blades are shaving sharp. The handles, I am not so keen on, just wanted to try something a bit different. They are functional though, cotton cord saturated with brown shellac.

Anyway, I don't understand why that scruffy ol' blade is winging, surely better to be a knife than a dented old mower blade surely...

if its "old" steel then it should be very good quality, no wonder its like a razor...
